I had the tag last year, if/when I ever draw it again I won't waste any time on state land. The few elk I saw seemed very skittish and didn't stick around long, I didn't get any response to any bugles, that wasn't a problem on Weyerhaeuser land especially the upper end of the 4100 road and off the 6600 road. Good luck.
I had the rifle rut tag, just after archery season, a few years ago. The rut didn’t really start until a few days into the rifle season, and then it turned on quickly. Lots of rut activity up against the Loowit border. Get in the timber and find some wallows.
Thanks it was a team effort and they know who they are. Great hunt that I play over and over in my head every day.
North end.
