Tuccanon is a great unit, but lots of steep ground though. If you don't mind a drive go to Pomeroy and up the Road there, lots of public land once you get into the trees. Still steep, but not nearly as vertical as the Tuccanon.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

I was one of the lucky ones to draw this tag this year with my bow and harvest a great bull.  DO you know how upset I would have been to run into someone playing around with elk in an area it took me 14 years to draw.  Its a free country and I love to see and hear bulls just like everyone else  but you are possibly messing with someone's "Hunt of a lifetime". 

I 100% believe that if you do not have mules to pack meat you will lose your game unless you are close to the roads.  Even then it is some brutal country. 

Go up there and enjoy some of the most beautiful country that this state has to offer.  Leave the bugle in the truck and I hope you arrow a spike close to a road or trail:) 

All the best to you,
Mike

Tear it up. Seems to be quite a few elk in the blues. They have a season for spikes and I'd hunt to my hearts content. if you accidentally bump a bull that someone with a tag is on.....that's the way it goes. That's why they open the season 5 days early for the any bull tags. I know if i had a bull tag i would be hunting somewhere with a lot less chance of running into spike hunters.  :twocents:

good luck getting mules into the hole in Mt view unit.. we hunted it and did not use mules and so do all the other tag holders.
