Kapowsin Elk Drawing

[link]

As opposed to drawing it twice in a matter of what? months? days? You've just got sour grapes in your cereal bowl. By the way, who are you talking about?

Nope just wish I had the luck that some have.

Do any of you think competition with the elk herds hurts the deer population in Kapowsin? I went for a hike yesterday and saw 40-45 elk and only 1 deer. Then 2 more deer driving out but that's it.

I think making it any Buck is going to destroy what's left of the deer population. Only saw 1 legal buck this last year. I also think Hancock could give out a few more Bull tags and not hurt the herds at all. But that's my 

i 100% agree with both of you!   And they need predator control, I don't think it's a coincidence that since hound hunting was banned the deer population has gone down.  And they could easily give 10 permits for 3 pt or better and 5 spike tags.

I was thinking they could do 10 for each weapon. 10 archery 10 muzzy and 10 rifle. There's people who don't even fill the tag if they draw in there! Guy I know talked a hunter who drew and he didn't fill the tag and that hunter knew someone who didn't fill it either. Making it any Buck is crazy. What's also crazy is the amount of doe tags and archery being any deer. Guys can draw multi and go smack a doe in December if they don't kill a buck during the rifle hunt.

 The elk pushed all the deer into the Eatonville Town limits, which was put off limits to hunting this last winter.

I know someone that didn't fill the tag , he was holding out for 350 + . He had chances just didn't work out, he knew what he wanted and wasn't going to settle for less , to each their own .

Isn't Travis Van Dam the same guy that cleaned house at the sheep show? If it is, what a lucky SOB!

Ya, there are Elk every where. They could give out a few more tags and not hurt the herds at all. Also, then they might sell all the passes if they drew for more elk. My

Yeah thats him

Cant you buy multiple access permits so you can theoretically flood the draw?

Yeah thats him

i don't believe you can buy more than one permit, but he's got some trick that's working quite well.    he's beaten the odds incredibly well, very lucky guy.  Hope he kills a pig to go with his Dahl sheep!
