To some reading this, you come off as jealous. Is that what you're having a problem with? that someone OTHER than you was fortunate enough to draw a tag that you've put in for for year and yet to draw? are you the type of person that just can't stand it when an old person wins the lottery? "But they'll DIE soon! I would enjoy that money (tag) SO much more! I DESERVE IT!" Lots of people, when they draw a sought-after tag out of their 'home' area, will only hunt that area the one time. they are not the locals that flood the woods every fall seeking spikes in a sea of bulls and cows. They are the guys that travel from different parts of the state/US for what has become almost an OIL tag. and instead of helping them gain access to that hard-to-get-on land, you're here berating them for not knowing all the intricacies of any given GMU. Lots of land owners in the desirable GMUs will help out those lucky tag recipients because they know those guys aren't knocking on their doors every year, bringing their extended family for hunts on prime land. I guess the one thing I've come to realize over the years is, THEY drew the tag. Not you. and that's OK! if they don't fill their tag, what's it to you? it's THEIR tag. it's up to THEM to do with it what THEY want. If they want to burn a dayton/tucannon/weneha tag on a spike or forked horn bull, GREAT! THEY made that decision! why can't we be happy that someone has the opportunity to chase an animal as beautiful as an elk in this state?just my

4 pages over asking someone for help in an elk area that they might not have expected to draw on a forum, wow. Thanks to the guys who arent affraid to share a little info for us rookies to get started. I have never hunted elk, I hunt everything else but. Usually dont have time that time of year. I didnt draw a big bull tag its a cow tag lol all this over that...Dont understand it...Most landowners that have alot of elk usually want their cow heard reduced every year, not just bulls and there is a limited number of cow tags to boot. We arent looking to to take one of the few spikes or big bulls, just a cow. Sorry for asking.
Roper, go back and read your very first post. There is a lot to be said for presentation. If you had posted closer to your last post I don't think you would be taking nearly as much heat.
What's the point of a forum if not to exchange information? I've never understood people who get all pissed just because someone asks for help. You'd think they charge us every time someone posts a "help me out with this tag" thread... Calm down.
Best way to do it is the PM someone if you're getting into specific locations. I've help lots of guys with what I know as far as places go, and many have helped me in the same way. . . By PM!

Someone on here asked for help for a tag the other day, several posts later a helpful member says check out spot A, its a great place. Well, it is a great place and approxiamately 10,000 people just saw it, some may already know, some may not care and some will be enlightened. Not to mention for the next 30 years you might be able to google or search and whoop there it is. Wonder how that cool spot will be now. Good thing is, I have more. It was pretty innocent and nice, but really just screwed a spot that wasn't real well known.
