Sounds like a lot of nice bulls are being seen by folks lucky enough to get a Nooksack Bull.  It appears that this permit only unit is working for producing nice animals.  Not sure why folks earlier aren't seeing any animals.  That area is thick with big bulls.

Well I shot at & missed the biggest Rosie I've ever seen yesterday, I felt like blowing my head off but I'd probably F that up also. :bash: I passed on a nice 6 pt today, I couldn't get a frontal view & just wasn't sure if it had the total package or not. Going back after Mr Big tomorrow after letting him settle down a bit. Been hunting up high & its been raining sideways non stop & I've been coming home drenched. I feel like a Duck! :chuckle: Its interesting that I havn't seen any Indians hunting yet, They must be nocturnal I guess. :rolleyes:

You have a great tag.  10,000 people would love to come home drenched every night.  Just figure you are really earning your bull.  This is a great thread...

I tried to send Bearhunter a text. Looks like I've got his home phone and not his cell number. Two guys practically hunting in their back yard! And they both know the territory! It's only a matter of time before one or both of them posts 'success'.

Passed on another bull today in the rainstorm, a 240ish 6 point, I took a picture at 15feet ill post it here, my wife really enjoyed the hunt with me this morning!  Bulls have been really quite with the last 2 days of rain and heat Im hoping the turn on in the next day or two.  Ive got a real heavy seven Im targeting now, he wont score tremendous but he sure will look sweet on the wall!

Definetly a lot less big bulls around than in years past, the only bulls Ive soon that I consider shooters have been on private ground around houses, its a tough year, passed up 4 six points so far in 4 days of hunting so I guess its not to bad!

Not much happened for me today. Got into Elk 1st thing but no shooters so we continued up hill & did some calling & played cat & mouse with The big Bull I'm trying to get but the wind was wrong & the fog was brutal plus the rain was coming down in sheets. Moved lower & called periodically while covering turf with no luck. P.S I thought that there was supposed to be Big Bulls around every corner in the Nooksack? Not! Finished the day off by throwing rocks at Blue Grouse, messin with a porcupine & downing some Beers.

You guys got to remember it is still elk hunting, there nothing easy about it.  I had to work everyday before I got my out of there. Work hard and it will pay off in the end  :chuckle:

Well back home for about 15 minutes then back up on the hill.  Passed up a small six point and a big ass 4point at 96yards bedded down today, probably 35 head with 3 spikes.  No bugles this morning hoping it turns on this evening!
