How to make the best of an OIL opportunity?
« on: June 13, 2015, 06:43:28 AM »
So I have a multi-season elk tag AND one of the 3 Peaches Ridge September rifle tags.  Any chance of returning my MS for someone less fortunate than me?  Got so excited when I drew MS, I purchased immediately.  346 is permit only so no opportunity to do hunting/scouting combo.   :dunno:  I may be forced into early retirement for this one.  I just got a bow and was hoping to try all 3 weapons this year.  I'm really not whining since I see this as a OIL opportunity.  My only regret is my son and hunting partner may not be in the country to share this with me.

If you put in for any archery or muzzleloader elk permits I doubt they would let you return the multi season, otherwise who knows. Even if they don't let you return it dont bother with the other seasons unless they are after you run out of time on your peaches tag

Generous offer, but I think I think I'll go with andrew's idea :tup:

Lets hope my idea doesn't come into play, I'd much rather see grip n grins of a big stinky bull than a spike or cow from late archery

You actually have the perfect storm, you can hunt archery/Muzzy Elk  with your buddies and be scouting for your rifle bull tag at the same time

What would be the point of carrying a weapon during those seasons, only an opportunity to slip up and give in to temptation

Peaches Ridge also includes 336, which is open for early archery, so you could hunt that unit with your bow, and also consider it scouting for your special permit hunt.

Returning the tag won't be allowed due to the fact that you applied for special permits. Actually I'm not sure multi-season tags can be exchanged for a different tag even if you had not applied for permits.

Either way I'm certain you're stuck with that tag. But the thing is, you may need it. What if you aren't successful during your special permit hunt?

Scout with your buddies while they hunt. Take your rifle in there when your tag is valid and knock down a beast. If for whatever reason it doesn't happen, return with a muzzleloader and kill a spike.

I don't see where lies any sort of problem to this situation  :dunno:

If you have the opportunity at a monster why would you pass it up, just because it would be with a bow and not during your rifle rut tag?

He'd only be able to shoot a monster spike during archery season.
