try and draw a cow tag if not hit the hills for mod. firearm season.

[bucksandbulls]

also as not to jack the thread .. my elk plans are to draw a quality or bull tag and hunt for elk  with a multi season tag.  if not drawn for those tags , i will go shoot a hoof rot elk with my bow.

I'm just going to enjoy having the opportunity to get some time to myself. Last year a friend of mine came out here from PA, and we hunted elk with our bows for 8 days and had about the best hunting trip we ever had. We didn't see any elk either! I learned a long time ago if you take something too seriously (except safety), that somehow the fun tends to fade away from it. However, scouting has already begun for this year.

Juggle a newborn, wife and work. Draw a tag in OR, WA or ID. Kill big bull.

From what I hear, the Bumping will be open for cows this year so that's where I'll be. Other option would be the Nile.

Put in for Archery blues tag or OTC NE WA hunt
Put in for ID LE tag and also buy 2 elk tags in ID

WY points and UT points

I got permission to hunt private land this year, so I'm very excited. Will do a bunch of scouting, in preparation of the season.

Hopfully draw a any Elk tag in Wyoming and kill my first Wyoming bull.  Then draw a quality bull tag in WA. and kill another bull.  I will be lucky to draw a any elk tag in Wyoming.

I've got a lot of points and haven't been drawn for deer or elk in 12 years. I'm not giving WA State gov't any more of my $$ other than my general Westside elk tag. Hunting Doty & Pe Ell w/son, son-in-law, & grandson(s).

thanks for the tip on hangman

my plan is two years from now try an cash in on my cow moose tag up in the selkirk area and see what the hunting is like up there..my dad seen some monsters up there an his buddy ended up with a 55 incher..dad said he saw one that was easy over 60   
i think ima have my brother put in for the hangman for his cow so we can scout that as well...not sure if there is a bad unit for moose..seems like there all pretty good 

im gona  save my bull tag for at least another 5 years or more just so i can have more job security an be able to take a month or two off work an see if i cant find a true monster


sorry bout the thread jack

switching to archery for elk this year for more of a challenge, and hike back into the back country and check out a few new spots and hope to bag a bull my first year archery. if not it will be a good learning year is the way i look at it

I will be missing the 2013 elk hunting season    I will be doing a 9 month OTC hunt in Afghanistan with my new $32 million Longbow.  It's custom made by Boeing.     I should do pretty well and hope to put a pretty good dent in the ferral swine population over there. 

As for 2014 hopefully I draw a quality east side tag.  I will have 10 points by then.  I will either hunt with a muzzle loader or a bow.  Havn't decided yet.  Probably with the smoke pole since my chances of getting an elk are way higher.  If I don't draw a tag then I will be hunting an archery OTC unit somewhere in Idaho.  I've been doing some research but havn't pinned down an exact unit yet.  Getting excited for the 2014 hunting season.  Only 19 months away.   

colockumelk, you be safe over there, and we will see you in the woods 2014. 

Thanks for your service.

draw a big bull tag for the east side if I draw multi would be nice or better yet an AZ bull tag would be better!
  or just otc the westside bulls in Hancock would be nice too!
