Quality elk tags check in here!

Hi, I’m new to this forum. And I also drew a Colockum archery quality tag.  I would love any and all input. 
2 years ago I got a nice cow out of there. Last year I was stuck on a boat out east and didn’t get a chance to hunt. So this year I’m all in.

Not sure how I missed this one, congrats!!!  Are you taking the whole season off???  I sure hope you share your story!!

I'd be concerned right now if I had any SE WA special tag......0% contained fire right now is gutting Lick Creek, Peola is hammered and it's only going to grow. Unfortunately may not be a bad year to be in the loser's lounge. Let's pray for a little luck, a miracle, divine intervention what have you. Also, a good portion of Idaho is getting ravaged as well. May be a tough year gang.

Its just hitting the NF edge of lick creek but mainly farm land. Just now there is also a reported small fire being reported on turkey tail ridge in the Tucannon.   Neither fire would affect tag holders yet but you never know what the wind is gonna do and we still have another 7 weeks of fire season to get thru

Not good for sure...Silcott/Lick creek fire has consumed 19,000+ acres, and while a sizeable portion has been in farmland, the canyons are getting hit as well. The fire IS in some of the prime Lick Creek unit (although still the SW corner), it's crossed to Campbell grade towards Cloverland and probably will burn for quite some time. Sad to hear about the Tucannon fire.

modified....Lick Creek is currently being razed to dust, heading to the mountains with no end in site.

I hope this year doesn't end up like 2015 when I last had the Tucannon archery tag. I almost had to turn in the tag and the hunt was really tough. I'll be setting more cams in the Tucannon next weekend as long as it doesn't end up closed for the fires.

I have family in the general area….I’d definitely check before you head that way next weekend.
Unless something miraculous happens soon, depending on where your setting up the cam’s, it’s not gonna be good.

Oh my gosh time is going so slow. Made it out scouting Saturday and saw lots of cows and calves. Heard a couple elk bugling and when I got home my permit was in the mailbox. I guess it wasn't a dream I got drawn. After seeing and hearing a bunch of elk I am super excited. Just have to wait 2 more months . Going to be a long 2 months.

Elk bugling? may be a bit early

it happens quite often hearing them this time of year. I’ve heard them several different times from June  through august

[Farmer72]

There was 2 different ones bugling. They may have been cows as I did not see them bugle.

[bobcat]

There were elk bugling in Yellowstone near Mammoth hot springs when we were there in the middle of June.
