Colockum branched bulls?

[Moe the Sleaze]

So we have one guy in my camp with a quality tag.  I've advised him to register for the wind farm.  Problem is that our camp is (and always has been) over on the Reecer Creek side.  My partners are reluctant to move somewhere new.  We just spent Thursday thru Sunday over near Sun East and saw NO elk at all.  I'm getting worried.  Should I continue to push for moving towards the wind farm?  I know there are no guarantees, but I'm looking for any help we can get.  Are we more likely to see some branched bulls over there to the east than we are staying west? Any info appreciated, Thanks!

Yes on the wind farm. Park creek drainage is a place I would keep a close eye on, they move thru there on there way to wind farm. I was in the akilia Monday and there was a herd of 40 cows and a big bull laying on the northside of I-90 right up by the ryegrass rest area.

correction......20 cows

Thanks Killmore.  I spoke with the quality permit holder last night and he has agreed to get a wind farm permit and check the wind farm late in the permit week, still wants to start with the SW Colockum Reecer area though.

It’s not that far away....

I think the wind farm is a reservation to hunt , limited on how many people can go on. I wonder if they are any left.

How is the wind farm area during general season?

[Moe the Sleaze]

Well Glock, I'm going to give it a try.  I've got access permits for 10/31 and 11/1.  In the meantime I'll be scouting the area with my permit holder during permit week, probably 10/24 and 10/25.  I've never researched the general season success rates for the windfarm, I'm sure they're out there somewhere but I haven't had the time to look.

Also drew a quality elk tag for 328 and 329.  Where's the bulls?

you would be crazy to leave the reecer Wilson area if you have a quality tag. come on over to the wind farm and shoot a bull with baby 3rds that will be in the 330 range. plenty of big 375 bulls in the reecer area
