Sounds like it’s over for non mucks. Gunna miss it, pretty much grew up in that area. Not to many places I haven’t put boots on in there. Makes me wonder if the wr special elk hunt numbers will change some in the near future.
It certainly takes a lot of ground out of that hunt, some dang good bulls will be out of reach now.

Dang.  I was counting on my key if I drew the white river bull tag.    If I do draw, that means I’ll actually have to get out of my pickup  :chuckle:

I wouldn’t be surprised if wdfw just opens the unit up to otc elk hunts now that so little land is actually being regulated by the state.

Agree, I wonder what the special draws will look like now. Half the unit will be closed now, and I’m sure a majority of the people who draw, hunt the white river (muckleshoot) property.

Mellissa Calvert is one of the worst people I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.  She doesn't care and... it shows.

For what it's worth... the watchmen I have talked to think there WILL be a permit in 2025  :dunno:

Well at this point with their lack of communication it’s all hearsay but I’m hearing the opposite

Dictionary definition of "hearsay" at this point... While getting a haircut I ran into the old fella watchman who runs around up there and asked him point blank if there would be a rec permit this year and he said:

"That's the expectation but we thought that last March too."    :dunno:

Two years ago, I talked with a well educated muck guard, nice guy. We talked about this issue, I even said, I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys closed it down and made it a trophy elk hunting area.  He was adamant that, that wouldn’t happen and they were more concerned about numbers than quality. He said they would offer a pass and things wouldn’t change.  I guess he wasn’t in the know

I’m shocked that Paul Blart didn’t have accurate information that was being spread on the dirt roads in the woods.

Ain’t the white guys spending all their money at the muck casino; it’s the Asians keeping them in the money
