If you have a muzzle loader and have hunted with a muzzle loader before (deer or elk). I would apply for a muzzy tag.  With 16 points drawing a muzzy tag is almost a slam dunk.  In WA the hardest part of killing a trophy bull is drawing the tag.  Even if you have never hunted muzzle loader before its not a hard transition from rifle to muzzle loader.  Just make sure you practise a lot.  You don't even have to put much thought into it.  There's plenty of people like sabotloader who can tell you which bullets and powder combo will work well and which gun to get. 

Next thing to do is buy elk nuts calling CDs and listen to them over and over and over and practise practise practise.  You will pretty much gain 10yrs of experience in one summer.  :twocents:

Drawing a good muzzy tag is FAAAAAAAAR from a slam dunk.

Tell me about it, I've been trying for a east side muzzy tag since I had 8 points and now I'm up to 18 this year.

Not to burst anyone's bubble but the number of tags in the blues this year is down quite a bit.

The wolves will start to make a big impact very soon in the blues, I would bet your gonna see half the tags for the blues in a short few years. I hope to draw within the next couple years or I might just head somewhere else.

You can say that again.  I started thinking I was going to draw a muzzy blues tag no problem at 12 pts.  That was 4 years ago.

  I would agree after last year.  I hunt 340 every year.  Last year I am so glad I didn't draw a muzzy tag because I during see a single elk the whole season.  Every other year I see nice bulls but not last.
