zpoolman,

I am assuming you haven't purchased a tag yet?  Because you are limited on east vs. west; you must declare when purchasing.

Hey I live down here to and im going to winston if your interested.

[zpoolman]

correct I have not bought a tag yet. i am waiting to see what is going on.  Last min. again.

I am open for a team up on the Westside.  Still have not gotten out this year, and my partner ended up getting transferred to Chicago.

Last year when I hunted that gmu there was a foot or two of snow during the week of thanks giving. It was like that the year before that too.

I'm heading out Fri for ryderwood Elk untill Tuesday 25th or so. I'm going solo anyone else going down south? Don't really have a plan but I am ready.

everyone complains about what they dont have, but look at harvest percentages and you see it is fairly equal. If I really only wanted to harvest an animal I would ML, If I wanted to party with the crazies and kill something I would Modern Rifle. Instead I like to take long quiet walks in the woods and see a lot of game and occasionally get a shot at an animal and sometimes even bring one home half eaten ( I love backstrap over the fire, heart and liver, slow broiled ribs etc.) I bow hunt. Longer seasons are set for weapons that dont have as high of a success rate. That is why they are the way they are. Hunter days to kill %. the only other consideration our wonderful game department has is how to seperate us from our $$$$. If your season is not long enough switch weapons or apply for multi tags. If 7 days is not long enough to find an elk you are hunting in the wrong spot.
