How many points do you have and what weapon is your preference?

[MtnMuley]

It's kinda funny with the name WASHBCBOOK why you would be asking what are the best units to to put in for "the best of the best" bull elk in WA..................sorry, but it cracks me up.

[jackelope]

Judging by your past posts you are a disabled hunter so will that limit where you can go or what kind of country you can access?

[heavy hauler]

for sure we will need to know: what weapon type,rocky mountain or roosevelt,state record potential or solid 6x6   and  how many points do you have?

[WASHBCBOOK]

hey guys well ill explain my question
first off yes im a disabled crossbow hunter so im asking for the top units you would go for if drawn i cant walk to long
but i can sure give it my all..I ve been using acrossbow for 4 seasons im 2/3 in elk
i want a unit #1 that hold big bulls yes i knoe peaches ridge, blues observatory,toutle,and others
i was just seing what other huntrs might do in my situation as for my user name washbcbook
im in the records book for blacktail deer not elk..oh i have a few points

[WASHBCBOOK]

oh also im looking for riffle,archery units ive never used a ml

[benhuntin]

unless you have a bunch of points you aint gonna draw a good tag. unless you are lucky but you can put in for disabled, and big bull and take the better tag.  The new regs are out take a look at the odds good luck.  I here there are some good bulls in Hanford.

Well since you can only apply for two Quality hunts, and it sounds like you don't have the maximum number of points possible, I would suggest applying for two hunts that have the highest number of permits available, that are rut hunts. Just looking at the new regulations, I would say go for Goose Prairie and Observatory bull elk archery permits. If you draw Peaches Ridge you might be disappointed this year because it is now open for the general archery elk season, which it never has been before, and it will be crowded. Goose Prairie and Observatory have relatively high numbers of permits and low numbers of applicants.

[benhuntin]

What are you seeing that im not about peaches ridge it looks the same to me?

[bobcat]

They changed Bumping and Nile from antlerless and spike to spike only, and to make up for that, they have opened Little Naches (which is part of Peaches Ridge) to the general archery elk season, for both cows and spikes. A lot of people will be moving from Bumping/Nile to Little Naches.

Gotcha thanks I hunt the north side and did not look on the south
