Mt. View Unit

[Shawn Ryan]

Congrats! I drew a cow tag in there from oct 27th- 4th. Maybe we can help each other a bit if close enough. I see your in BG, we should meet up.

Dang, the Blue Mtn. draw gods were good to you this year--spring bear and elk.  You must have pleased them with whatever your burnt offering was!    Happy to share whatever I know/learn.  I'll send you a PM about meeting up.

May run into you scouting , i have the muzzy bull tag

Do you have scouting plans, yet? I know you have hunted it before and know a lot more about the unit than I do.  I don't have dates figured out, but I first want to run the trail from the guard station to the bottom, then up to Indian Tom Corral and then the Mt. Horrible/Lake Ridge trail to the West Wenatchee trail up back to the road.  I'd like to do those both the same day.  Thinking of dropping a couple cameras and salt/mineral blocks along the way.  Camera drop locations may impede getting both runs done the same day, but time is short!

I figure running those trails lets me see a lot of the unit very quickly. Not really scouting animals on that trip, just seeing country.  If you (or anyone else) are interested in the run, let me know.

Karl, Bullblaster, Timberstalker, Hormhunter, Jonathan, you all have me regretting my draw...NOT!  Seriously though, I appreciate what you all are posting.  Just gets me more pumped for that hunt.  Going to have to step up my game, which is great motivation for an old duffer like me!

I'm already trying to figure out how to get all 20 days in the hole.  I doubt I can make that happen, but that would be epic and a check-off on the bucket list.

We're excited for you.  You seem like an animal and I'm sure you'll have a good time.

This.  I can't wait to see what you drum up, Shawn.

x3. With or without a punched tag you'll do it justice I have no doubt.

[Shawn Ryan]

Thanks.  Now I feel no pressure.  None at all.

Congrats on the tag Shawn.  Looks like a great hunt coming up, err, down  . 

[Shawn Ryan]

Thanks, RJ. "Down" is without the load; "up," well, I've just decided to not think about that until I have to!     Any drawing for you? Or do the Idaho elk need to hide?

Congrats.....After seeing your backside quickly disappearing in front of me a couple of years ago, I'm sure the elk are already getting worried!!!

No WA draws for me bud.  Gonna hit the spud state the last two weeks of SEP with, wait for it....., a rifle in a wilderness area.  Should be a hoot    Congrats again on the tag; anxious to hear how it all shakes out.

Wow!  I assume that is a draw, not OTC.  Do you have an expectation of size or just really monstrous?

Worried that my carcass will stink up the hillside, maybe!!

[eastfork]

Congrats on the draw!!! Super envious.  Was in there a couple years back. PM me. You'll get a masher for sure.
