NO bulls seen up on colockum period.

[phishisgroovin]

NOT one bull was in view up on the Colockum at all in 4 days time.

Have no clue where they were, not one camp up there had meat hanging, heard shots early opening day morning. Gamies were all over the shot.
Man took a 2x1 and is now in trouble.
that was the only bull up there i believe and the gamies were severely pissed.

Thanks whoever killed all the Bull elk or scared them off.

Oh if the WDFW would only listen to me.  But what do I know right.  I'm only one guy who actually did his research unlike the WDFW.

I know where they are but I am not telling!!! That way there will be more bulls next year.

good on you for that, i am done hunting up there. Next year i hunt this side, but go just to be with family over there and the hikes with my rifle in case i see a bear, cougar or coyote.

It doesn't matter anyway because they were all on private property. My cousin was out at the wind farm on Friday working and he said he saw around 200 head with quite a few bulls just hanging out waiting for the season to end. I guess you need some MH to go chase them out of the wind farm.

Not to mention the MORON up there opening day with the Semi auto rifle shooting 10 magazines of 30 rounds each INSIDE the best hunting area. Thanks moron! you rock!

It was really that bad up there this year? Last year on opening day they were hanging in almost every camp. I saw one camp with 4 elk hanging.    Was there a lot of people up there?

it was packed, just like last year with the same people in the same camps.
Just NO elk bulls to be seen. ALOT of Cow elk. but the Bulls were all gone. We said "F" it and just came home early like many of the hunters.

Why be up there if the elk arent. 

[shedcrazy]

I know of 5 spikes that got taken opening day, and 1 more on Sunday. Wishing I went up there instead of Bluett...

my buddy got one and I also walked up to a 1x2 as it lay down to die.  I watched the hunter who shot it walk away real fast.   Two other hunters I saw actually saw the guy shoot it at 50 yards.  They got a good description of him and gammies have a good idea of who it was.  That elk was still alive 4 hours later when the gammie arrived to investigate!  One of the sadest things I have witnessed in the woods.

very bum deal hope they let someone take the meat. so it did not go to waste or haul it off to people in need.

yeah, they had the guy stopped at carabou and colockum road, gamie had the animal in his rig when they found him.
my Nephew drove past as they were doing their thing.
Stupid people suck!
That was actually the only animal i heard of being shot.

we were out Little carabou most of the time, didnt see a thing. up on the plateu in all the open fields we usually see TONS of fresh tracks, all we seen was three cow elk running past us. no other elk in the open all weekend. Got bored sitting under my usual tree so we went further up colockum road to another area and sen a ton of fresh track and 30 cow elk, Still no bulls. But i did find a nice Spike shed.
