As an interesting though exercise, I thought I'd look through number of total apps per tag for each of the EM quality elk tags, as a EM elk tag holder this year. There's a lot of variation and BS when it comes to average points, espeically for low volume tags, but I think its kind of interesting to see what the total hunter demand is. I'm aware these represent a couple of different selections as you have 2 options on your quality app, but its still interesting. I'm curious what people think of the quality of these muzzy hunts versus the interest (as judged by applications per tag). The results weren't really what I had expected. These are essentially all late Sept/Early Oct 1-2 week hunts. The Yakima herd hunts are generally 9/27-10/3 and the Blues hunts are generally 9/29-10/10. 240 Goose Prairie 214 Mission 183 Cowiche 149 Peaches 139 Colockum 135 Teanaway 118 Tucannon 110 Dayton 104 Lick Creek 85 Mountain View 81 Observatory 80 Bethel 77 Wenaha East 73 Wenaha West 60 Blue Creek 60 Rimrock 57 Couse 28 Prescott 15 Peola |

I guess my point is, if a person had a choice of any quality bull hunt in the state for muzzy... this would indicate they'd hunt Goose Prairie or Mission over say Colockum. And Cowiche over Tucannon. That kind of surprises me. |

The only bull worth coming to Washington got killed last December. |

I think a lot of these apps are put in for areas simply because that's the area they hunt during general season and has little to do with quality of bulls in the unit. |
