Elk Bow Hunters out West?

[let.it.fly]

i would get in touch with anyone planning on bow hunting that area, then offer your assistance with there hunt. i assume you live in that area. you can never have to many strong backs when an elk is down. maybe tag along with them during there hunt. maybe call for them. then switch roles when its your turn to hunt. just because i fill a tag doesnt mean i wana be down hunting for the year. i love just being out there and seeing my friends get the job done.

  Hate to tell you this but I think you are going to have to get out and find your own big bull.
People around here that know anything about the area and the herds are not going to be to willing to give up their information.
I know where there are two nice bulls and several smaller ones. I've been scouting for three months now and myself like a lot of other folks are not going to give up their spots.
I helped someone out several years ago and it cost me one of my hard earned spots.
So my advice to you is to get out there and get after it.

Good luck

I hear Ya. I am scouting now, trying to learn the area's out west. I'm use to Rockey mt. elk, mostly open country hunting compared to over here. It doesn't hurt to ask. I moved here 5 years ago from Chewelah and don't hunt elk w/anybody, just me, myself and I, and yes I know what it's like to get screwed by someone who you helped out on hunting spots. I know the Chewelah area like the back of my hand, you have to be careful who you give info to. All my hunting buddy's are scared about me giving coasties info on hunting on the east side. I don't want a free ride and I don't except anyone to give up a honey hole. I'd go w/a guide w/this tag but don't have that kind of money. If someone hooks me up with a nice bull, I will take them turkey hunting next spring around Chewelah.

I'm getting after it. Seen 11 legal bulls. 4 and 5 points, nothing worthy of this tag, at least the first few days. The rut is starting to kick in good, so I hope that big bull I haven't seen will be willing to play.
