Drew watershed with 17 points.  I have an eastern WA muzzle loader tag.  Sounds like this one may hurt an old guy.  Any advice?
Well, if you can get a hold of horses you will be much better off.  It is steep and deep, without stock, you will be doing a lot of walking.  If you come up from the bottom you'll be crossing a creek several times before it opens up a bit.  If you come in from the top you'll be hunting down, and I think there is a place to camp towards the middle?  I'd come in from the bottom if I had horses, top if not.  But it will prob be the steepest country you've ever seen, some potential for a great bull, it's just a tough azz hunt.
Pretty sure you can't camp in the watershed.  In and out each day.

right, there is no camping in the shed, but I thought I remembered a camp area about half way down on the boarder? We had private property to stay at on the boarder and guys would hike up to us from some camp area.  Met them where everyone meets, forget the name of the peak.

I'm headed back to Tucannon for another round of archery elk.  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

My brother and I both killed really nice bulls in there in 2015. I can't wait to be back in there chasing bulls!!!

Wow you only waited 6 years to draw again. Unbelievable. Congrats and good luck!

Couldn’t believe I saw selected for Quality Elk Rifle tag for a western wa unit. So excited to chase elk with a rifle in September.

Anybody want a little Quality rifle Dayton info, you can hit me up. Going to be a tough hunt if you drew it but if you are willing to give it your all, it would be doable.

which unit, you might get some advice if you need it?  Those tags are the best, but they come with a lot of pressure, mostly on yourself but fun either way.

You could be right.  I thought the road boarder most it but the last time I was there was back in my college days which was a few years ago🤣

I was lucky enough to cash out on a mountain view rifle elk tag!

I'm assuming you know the unit?

Drew my 2nd choice...  Muzzy Quality Bull for Rimrock.  Have not hunted that unit in 10 years.  The real kicker is if the Canada border opens I'll be up there on a Moose/Caribou combo that was rolled over from last year due to Covid.  Not asking for sympathy, just never thought I'd draw  :bash:     Time to scout hard just in case and if anyone is so inclined, advice is always appreciated!

I'll PM you some intel

Congrats!

Congratulations Tyler! I heard from your dad that you were able to draw this, what a great opportunity! I'm curious how many points you had?

Just want to say how cool it is to see all of the excitement from the lucky tag holders. Also very impressed but not surprised with how fast people are jumping in to help those guys and gals out. Thats what this place is all about and what I have seen myself on many occasions.

Congrats to all of you that drew a tag. Looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing stories.

Thank you to all of the generous people on here that are so willing and unselfish in trying to help make those hunts successful! :tup:

Congrats on the tags guys. How many points did it take to draw those Colockum tags? Did you put in as a group?

Thanks guys

I had 11 and Logan had 7 so 9 a good. Can't draw goat. Sheep or Moose with 24 though. This I the best tag for us together
The mountains are calling and I must go
