It is what you meant it to be...

Dog....you and I have exchanged a few PM's so I know you are young and your heart is in the right place. So, with tongue in cheek, I'm going to lay it out for you. C-Post.....there.....I said it. For this sake of this post and me not getting banned I'll point out right up front. C-Post is a real place. It exists. However, it is a very general term for a turn off to a vast area.

Now....on to elk hunting. I would hunt the C-Post area of the Oly Peninsula. The area you are asking about is simply way to general and vast of an area for folks to not yank your chain a little bit.

I would read up on the forum of past threads and glean all you can. Get this year under your belt...maybe whack a deer...then next year start thinking about a weekend scouting trip or hunting with a bud. Then...get a cool thread going like "hey I'm looking to go scout X area of X place.....any tips on this region". That way you will be more likey to get some tips.

I'll tell you what....I got a couple books laying around that might just help get you started.....PM me your name and adress and I'll send them out to you. No change, no strings attached.

Like I said.....his heart is in the right place. If he can put up with a touch of ribbing and think of this place as a campfire where we all sit around the I expect we will see some pics of him smiling with a nice critter this fall.


No....you don't get banned for just the mention.....just "do no harm" when posting and keep it light is my theory.

The Satsop  and Wynoochee are good units as well. If you are into archery I am looking for a good partner to hunt these units. I have a 7 day hunt planned.
