Evergreen State Smokepole Season…..

[WapitiTalk1]

is almost upon us.  Are you wild bohemians locked and cocked, and ready, to bring a Wapiti home for dinner this year?

[Crunchy]

I sure am.  My White River tag opens on Saturday.  Took the smoke pole out to bark a few times just to make sure she is dialed in.

[Stein]

Smoke em if you got em.

First year switching it up after 6 years of archery.  Changed up to allow for more fall fishing mainly.  I'm interested to see how it goes.  I've never shot an elk so it can't get much worse I suppose

My son and I will be out there. Hoping the grandson jois us. He passed hunter ed a couple weeks ago and I gave him one of my Bighorns and everything he needs to get it dialed in! Hope he puts it to use!

Tic toc tic toc

I'll be out there! Convinced my wife to go this year and carry a muzzy. She never liked the idea of misfires or hang fires and the delay if something goes wrong etc. I convinced her it was a rare occasion if you do things right.

[Bendejo]

Yes, can't wait!

[elkboy]

Good luck, you all! Looking forward to pictures and stories!

No muzzy for me this year. Between work and a move/job change, got my hands full.

We got three cow tags in our group of 8.


Always a good time.

The rut occurs at the same time every year  .

NorseNW, sent you a PM.

Tic toc indeed Jake. Stopped at range on Ft Lewis today after work and threw 3 projectiles down range.  My smokepole is grouping as well as can be. Pulling out on WED to set up a small camp, scout a bit, and tie a Roosey/RM Elk hybrid to a tree for the opener.  It’s almost time………..

OK, now I have to ask are you shooting a real Smokepole or one of them man-bun-guns with a 209 primer ? Over the years I've harvested 3 elk and 6 deer with my old side lock. 

[WapitiTalk1]

Man bun? You know darn well I don’t grow enough grass on my head anymore for a man bun    But yep, I shoot a new fangled Traditions Strikefire with the 209 primers. Damn thing is pretty darn accurate. I’m hoping to test its “effectiveness” on a stinky bull this year.

BTW, 3 elk and 6 deer with a primitive smokepole is damn respectable. I’m gonna try to hold off with my multi season deer tag and dump a BT with my Strikefire….only if I don’t have a good modern shot at a nice buckasaurus

Got my camp setup this weekend so it can air out for a few days! Ready to party
