Rifle Quilomene Tag

[BigfootHunter]

Pulled a tag for the Quilomene this year. I have been putting in for 16 years so this was a long time coming.

I plan to put in a ton of time and wear out some boots, but any tips or advice would be much appreciated as I have been waiting over half of my life for this tag.

Feel free to PM me with any tips or advice.

Thank you in advance.

Congrats on drawing that permit.  Sorry I don't have any tips on that permit, but I just wanted to welcome you to the site and make sure you saw the bigfoot thread because of your screen-name.

What's your goal for this hunt? I saw the biggest 3 point I ever saw this year during archery. Also a pretty tall and wide 4x4 on my way out. Do you hunt this area regularly or just put in for it for special permit?

Fun tag.

Beautiful country.

My tips:
1.  Don't neglect the lower country.
2.  Don't be afraid to put some road miles on to get to different places in there.

Good luck and post pics.

If you have a boat, then you can access a lot of good country from the river. Find a map that shows the old army road that heads out from the microwave tower off of the Old Vantage Highway.  The last time we were in there several years ago, I seen over 20 bucks that were 3 point or bigger iincluding a 3 point that was probably 27" wide all in one day driving the old army road. The road is gnarly and I would definitely have chains and a spare tire or two. There are some decent bucks running around the unit and you should have no problem finding a good one if you spend some time in there.

The only thing I know about it is the roads can get real sketchy so be prepared.  Not just snow, I'm talking gumbo type mud.

Thanks! I have a pretty good plan of attack, but any input helps.

Ultimately my goal is to enjoy my time in the field. I'm searching for a big body duck min 4pt, but looking for some mass.

I have hunted the area a few times with other permit holders, but spent most of my time on the Colockum side.

Congrats, again on that bull! He was a bruiser.

Thank you for the tip. Things have changed a lot in the Quilomene in the last 5 years are so, but I'm sure the roads are still the same!  Got two spares, chains, hi-lift jack and all the "oh s***" tools.

So no tips from anyone? Rough...

Wait, is this a waterfoul tag?
