Quote from: GurrCentral on April 08, 2015, 07:16:59 PMI have nothing against a companion hunter that shoots an animal for an individual....but if you just want someone to go out and shoot a non-"crappy" bull so you can have one that is bigger than the one on your wall...is it worth it? To me no. I would rather shoot a cow or spike myself..as opposed to someone else shooting a big bull for me...and me putting it on my wall. I didn't ask about a " companion " shooting my bull. I don't need no stinking help shooting a " crappy " bull, or any other animal for me. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself. And, a crappy bull is a crappy bull. People complain all the time that, It's not quite what I'm looking for. So I think you can drop the sarcasm...

Also, if your statement is true about being able to kill and pack out an animal (an elk)by yourself ...should you be applying for disabled? I hate to be that guy and point that out...but ....killing an elk and packing it out by yourself doesn't get easier each year for all people....
The good thing is that you're not restricted to the special disabled hunter areas. You can hunt anywhere you want.

Thats what the regs say but according to Big Tex, the RCW states different and that RCW's trump the game regs. I think its stupid too, I'm just passing on the info. Don't shoot the messanger.

Are you talking about the ones that you have to draw?

I hate to be that guy and point that out...but ....killing an elk and packing it out by yourself doesn't get easier each year for all people....I can do everything for a successful hunt. Disabled hunters are given the very worst areas to hunt. I looked at a disabled elk hunt area offered to me by Delores Noyes, who runs the disabled hunters deal. I went and looked at that tiny, 2 mile, overgrown logging road, non- elk area. You went into Idaho out of Priest River, then back into Washington to hunt the elk. I found out from the locals they'd never seen an elk in there, ever. So far, disabled areas suck. I've never used one in my life. Also, I can bring a companion hunter with me if I choose too. I'm just putting out feelers for info, because I give out all kinds of info for my area, through the PM's on here. So, that's where I'm coming from with my original question. Then it turns into the typical BS.
Personally, I don't think I could stand going to the westside to hunt. I'm so used to no traffic and no people. Everything depends on me getting drawn for a multi-season elk tag, then figure it out...
Does it have to be a designated "disabled area" for a companion hunter to help you out?
