Don't see how the Peaches ML tag can interfere, should only take 5-7 days to tag out there if you scout and know the area. Hell hire rugged class, they should be able to put you on bulls quick. Don't waste the 11 points.

+1  They'll get you on a good bull if you are in shape and know what you're doing (which is my assumption).

I hunted the Wenaha a few years ago.  May want to spend a little time on the stairmaster...   Lot's of good bulls in there though...

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

30 min on the stairmaster right now. With the time change i will put my pack frame on for the 3 mile hike around the block and a run up a huge hill at the end. I have to be ready for 11000 feet in Colorado this year, so i am pretty sure if i got drawn for one of those tags i would be ready.

I hunted above 11k in Colorado 2 years ago......get ready for your lungs to burn

We have an outdoor archery range here in Walla Walla.  I like to run it in shorts and t-shirt and shoot all 17 targets for about two months before elk season starts.  It is a trail that goes up a steep hill, along a ridge and then back down to the start point.  It's a smoker.  I thought I was in shape once and decided I was going to run it and shoot 5 arrows at each target... by the last target I couldn't draw my bow...

...Obviously they're in a covered bow quiver.  I wouldn't say it is anymore dangerous than chasing elk over hill and dale with the same gear...
