Elk Hunt Eastside, Westside or other.

If you have your reasons let us know why or why not . This is for  fun and curiosity.

Only one! I'll have to think about it. I had some good spots on the westside but switched to the east side to be with family more... If I could find more time away CO would be my destination.

I put west.  Like the jungle, rain/snow, bulls, close to home.

Other state would be my" preference " but hunting close to home and with friends and family, doing it the hard way I guess has amazing rewards.

Hunted the westside for 25 years and had great success killing 12 bulls in that time frame. started to hunt eastside last year to hunt with family hope i have just as much success over there.

I don't know my preference yet, as this year will be my first for elk on the eastside

without a permit, the eastside sucks. You don't have to wait 10 to 20 years to kill big bulls on the westside.  And Idaho starts the same time every year, being Oct.10 for rifle any bull.  I pick Idaho for now.  Now on the other hand, if you give me a special permit to hunt the eastside every year, I'd take the east side..I know, that's a no brainer.

Will hunt westside for 5-6 days but I chose "other state" which is where I will spend the last two weeks of September.  I'll continue to do this until WA gives archers a season encompassing the bulk of the elk rut.  One thing the powers that be do not realize is that just because bow hunters are allowed to hunt when the elk are most vocal/active (rut) it doesn't necessarily result in higher success rates; it's still pretty tough to get a a shot with a bow, regardless of the time of year.  Just makes it more exciting to hunt during the last two weeks of September

Never thought of looking at Idaho. Researched it and it looks promising. 100,000 elk and any bull GMU's. Dang son.

"Other state." I moved to Arizona. You can get a really good tag every 4-7 years as a resident and yes, its worth the wait. Colorado and New Mexico would be other great choices. IDK how often Utah residents get a tag.

Westside - I like tracking rosies in the thick stuff with a muzzleloader.

[SpicyTacos]

West side is all I've hunted.

[Bigshooter]

I would never hunt the east side on a general season tag for spikes.  And I can't figure out why anyone would.

Grew up in Montana so I am more comfortable in eastern Washington. Love the smell of sagebrush.
