Alkali worth points?

[wheels]

there is a Disabled tag in there for bull is it worth burning points on.

I would probably look elsewhere....it's to me kind of a pain to hunt,  and the elk are kinda thin, and hard to find. If you know someone who knows the unit, I think it cold have potential. I stopped applying for deer and elk in there.

I think it would probably be worth the points my dad took about a 320" bull and another guy took a 300" out of the same herd on the same day with the muzzleloader tag a couple years back. My dads bull ran downhill and died in the middle of the road

call and ask what the native harvest has been like over the last 6-12 months or longer if you get someone who has been stationed there for awhile...

Ask the local biologists that work on the YTC for any info they could share

I had the rifle tag last year and hunted about half the season and didn't see an elk.

good to know i will most likely get cow tag but  now i just want to get my first elk

[adamR]

The archery and muzzle seasons are worth it but the elk are basically gone by rifle

im rifle guy

Wheels you are referring to the disabled category alkali tag as opposed to the bull elk category correct? Is season timing different on those?

[wheels]

yes

[andrew_in_idaho]

Do you live within decent driving distance of the firing center? As I understand they only open certain segments of the unit at certain times that would be another thing to take into consideration. My dad lives about 1 1/2 hr drive from there so he can be there pretty quick when they open the right zones

im about 2 1/2 or so  got granparents in selah

I hunted it pretty hard last year for deer and only saw a hand full of elk two rabbit's and two spikes and like three cows.the tribe shoots anything that moves. Ask the bio to see the harvest book

Yep pretty darn   
In fairness to those tribal members who just look the other way and let the decimation occur it's not the majority who shoot anything that moves but the minority that shoots anything that moves and makes the silent majority look bad.
