Umtanum antlerless?
« on: April 19, 2009, 08:52:34 PM »
I have a question for all of you.  This will be the last year that my wife and I hunt in WA because I am getting stationed somewhere else next year.  So I want to dump all of my wifes points on a permit.  She currently has 3 points.  When I used to hunt with a ML about 6 years ago my family hunted down low around Hardy, Jones, Pine etc and it was a major rat race with people all over.  So my question is this:

If I take my wife up high like around Dipping Vat, or Barber Springs etc in the Northern Part can I still expect a rat race of people up there or is there alot less people up there then down low?  I want my wife to draw a cow permit but at the same time I want it to be a quality hunt without fighting the herd of hunters.  So I guess I'm asking would it be worth putting my wife in for the Umtanum or should I go elsewhere?  Again this is for my wife not me.  I hunt with a bow and will just be a guide/slave/packmule for the wife.  She's never killed an elk and I would really like to help her get a cow.  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks

I think I would put her in for Taneum. There are more areas there to get away from people, and besides that there are only 25 cow permits versus 200 in the Umtanum. Odds of drawing aren't quite as good but I still think with 3 points she'd have a good chance and I think it would be a higher quality hunt.

Thanks for the advice bobcat.  You're probably right.  I don't think I'll be putting her in for the Umtanum.  Too many people.  Thanks again.
