Being pretty new to elk hunting I was wondering what some of you guys think would be the ultimate elk tag here in washington. Either side of the mountains any weapon what would be your first choices for elk numbers and trophy potential no matter how bad the draw odds are.

Westside muzzleloader.

Actually, no. I take that back. The westside archery tag would be the ultimate tag. I just choose to hunt muzzleloader because I have a bad shoulder and shooting a bow doesn't help it any.

The eastside elk auction tag, aka. "the governors tag" Doesn't get anymore ultimate than that!!!

i think more of the raffle tag than the auction tag..so i will say eastside elk raffle tag. $5 to win it....not $70k.

i think your worst draw odds are probably in the blues...this year i will guess it will be any of the new rifle rut hunts down there.

The coweeman cow tag is highly sought after... Not my ultimate tag but someone elses...

I'll take a Utah elk tag in my back pocket here in Washington.

Unit 201, Colorado, described to me by a guide one time as the Holy Grail of elk hunting in the world. This is my 18th year putting in and still won't draw. Here in WA? The eastside raffle tag or the new Peaches Ridge B then Peaches Ridge A, IMO.

Bowtech721,

Marry an indian.....then you can hunt anywhere and not worry about a WDFW elk permit.

WDFW-SUX · « **Reply #14 on:** May 07, 2009, 12:58:48 PM »

201 is overrated if its taking 18+ years to draw

Did that and its not what you think. I do like the healthcare advantages though..

Eastside raffle...

Does anyone know why they changed the dates for the Margaret early archery bull?

The Ultimate Elk Tag would be the one you could actually draw! I see big elk runnin everywhere, but it doesn't matter because I'm chasing a 1 x 1.

bobcat · « **Reply #23 on:** May 09, 2009, 11:00:34 PM »

Washington tags are all over-the-counter. Special permits are drawn!

big ed · « **Reply #24 on:** May 10, 2009, 12:43:28 PM »

bozeman, mt would fit the bill for me just outside the big yellow

ACCUBOND · « **Reply #25 on:** May 11, 2009, 08:13:20 PM »

cant say because the it would be that much harder to draw
