Washington and Oregon for the last six years straight.  Oregon is soo much more action for the archery guys.

Wa and Idaho for me. My elk hunting spots in idaho are actually much closer to home than my way spots!  Long seasons and good elk numbers.

Big difference from hunting and applying for another state. Plenty of hunters apply for trophy areas gaining preference points and hope to draw that trophy area some year. Call it retirement trophy hunts for some.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I have yet to hold two tags in one year but have grow more aggressive in applying for multiple states each year. Maybe this year.

the last time I hunted out of state for elk I had drawn Montana, and Washington big bull and also had an idaho permit in hand.  Man what a year.

WA, OR, NM, MT, CO, WY, AZ, UT.  I usually don't apply to all of them each year, but have hunted elk in all of them except UT.  I've already applied to NM and have an Oregon Archery drop camp scheduled for the last 10 days of the Oregon season (Sept 19th thru the 28th).  Here in WA, I'll be out the first week of Archery season.

Last time I had two tags was WA Quality bull and New Mex. in 2012.  Ended up cutting my WA hunt short to go hunt New Mex., and bull in my avatar is the result.  Sure wish I didn't burn up all my WA points, and been able to do the tag justice.  But, NM tag was calling me away...LOL.

That is always quite the dilemma: "what if I get drawn for two tags over the same time period?" I guess the odds are so low that it's unlikely to occur. Still don't think I could avoid a little  :bash: if I did.

I hunt Washington and Idaho.  The wolves have hurt the elk where I hunt in Idaho and now they are moving in to my Washington area. :(

The 2013 season was the first time in 26 years that I did not have at least 2 elk tags in my pocket going into hunting season.

I hunt Idaho every year, washington some years...but I don't get too excited about spike only...so, Idaho is still my primary focus.
