I'm more worried about getting in good enough shape to hunt that country the way you need than I am about how big of bull! Bigger than last time would be phenomenal but gotta be realistic with a bow. My goal is a bull that when I see him there is no doubt that is the bull I want to kill at that time, so I won't put a score out there but I hope we can get it on video so all those combinations will make it interesting. nwhunter

I'd sure like to hold out for 370+ not sure I can hold out if I have a good one in close though.

Branden · « **Reply #8 on:** July 15, 2009, 08:05:22 PM »

I don't really have a number. I just hope to be able to kill the biggest bull I find while scouting.

bucklucky · « **Reply #9 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:16:33 PM »

Branden, Heres your number....390++++++

SnakeEyes · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2009, 11:24:10 PM »

I will be more than happy with a nice mature 6 point. We will see if my goals change after some more scouting. I do not want to be greedy but from what everyone has been telling me, maybe I should be thinking bigger.

Depends on the unit, how much time you have to scout, how much time you have to hunt, and the weapon/season. Had a buddy the year of the fire (2006) with the Dayton tag. He was holding out for 350. He ate the tag. (To be fair, the fire really had things messed up that year, especially during the archery season).

I remember the fire year.... the elk were a little scarce. We ran into a guy with a bull tag who was holding out and not finding many bulls. we didn't see the usual number of bulls but 1/2 hour after we talked to him we were staring at a 380" plus. If I had a tag I'd shoot the first bull that made me

WAcoyotehunter · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:11:27 AM »

A friend pulled a watershed tag. I'll be waiting for an excited radio call to go help get a dandy out. I hope he holds out for a good one, but who knows- any elk is a good one.

boneaddict · « **Reply #14 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:19:42 AM »

Trying to set in my mind the difference between a 350 bull and a 370 bull. One is like HOLY *censored* and the other is like HOLY HOLY *censored*!

Woodchuck · « **Reply #15 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:35:53 AM »

if anybody out there has one of the dayton tags let me know, i hunt that unit every year, would be glad to help with scouting, packing etcm would really love to film a big boy goin down! like i said glad to help if it is wanted

WAPITIHUNTER · « **Reply #16 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:38:23 AM »

You guys in the Blues are way to high 250" is a realistic number to start from. Now the Nooksack on the other hand 350" is a nice round number to start from.

Hope you Guys with Tags over there Nail some monsters this year. If it looks really really big it probably is.

That jsut about sums it up Doug

And then when you find a 390 Its like your legs start tingling , you start getting light headed....next thing you know some stranger is pooring water over your head cause you just fainted

OK, that was a little exagerated but not too far off

I wish I could have killed that sumbitch

Butt the "Holy, Holy *censored*) bull worked just fine

Ridgerunner · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:37:05 AM »

charlie, your bull is AWESOME, the pic in your aviater does not do it justice at all, WAY more impressive in person. Man I'd love to draw one of these tags.

dreamingbig · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:41:31 AM »

I be shooting at a 350" bull even if I knew there was a 370" in the area. Too many tagless years to be picky.

HUNT · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2009, 11:47:09 AM »

Have my sights get on 350+.... seen a couple of those out scouting already....

gunnarnewt · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2009, 01:11:30 PM »

Anybody that has the Dayton tag should be in for a great year.....Again 350 should be a minimum, but I agree any bull is a good bull. If you want any unsolicited advice when you come scouting, feel free to stop by the P.O. and ask for the Postmaster, I'll be glad to help out if I can. it's an amazing area and the best tag in the state.

Hi Loren, you big horse's butt. Dave.

Are you coming for deer this year? we're starting to find some decent bucks. Dipsnort....That's perfect.

Dipsnort · « **Reply #24 on:** July 17, 2009, 11:32:23 AM »

I'm too old and fat to hike my usual place again this year, so yeah I'd like to (just waiting by my mailbox for the formal invitation).

BoomWhop · « **Reply #25 on:** July 20, 2009, 10:27:34 PM »

I have the Peola Tag, the foot hills for the blues, I am hoping for 350 or any big non typical.

sportsman002001 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 21, 2009, 06:40:59 AM »

Like schroder said it would be great to hold out for that 370 but when that 330 to 350 stands there he will look big. Good luck to all. I just hopes the weather cools down a little before september 8.

He should be scared... I hope he's running 5 days a week. I know I am.
