There have been several threads, and pics on here about it.

The drawing will held sometime in the next month, most likely. They make sure to have the drawing before the state deadline. They have to manually enter all the information on all 1200 permits before they can hold the drawing, and there are only a couple of ladies working there.

Which Hancock property has the draw, also is it draw only for all of elk season? Modern, archery, etc.?

Been wondering the same thing.

In the meantime, if anyone has pics of past that have been taken...lets see them! I'm curious what's considered a taker out there. Saw a nice 5pt last weekend.

Only the Kapowsin farm
For some reason I dont get why people only say Hancock when they mean Kapowsin. Hancock has hundreds of thousands of acres all over this state, how about we be a little precise when we talk about things.....

The kaplowson farm sure knows how to grow them seen 4-5 bulls of that caliber the couple days I worked up there

Alan K · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:41:13 PM »

I worked up there about half of last summer, and above Wilkeson the other half. Some bruisers for sure. Here's one of the keepers I got pictures of on the TC. Unfortunately the camera wasn't secured well and it got knocked to the side when they got curious. . .

The willows in the ditches next to the roads and how stupid those big boys are to trucks they see every day if you could get a third of the time they give you on a rag bull during season you'd be sittin pretty

I beleive cougkilrs father shot the state record cascade/rosie out of there correct me if im wrong. I think thats the best west side tag to have...even better than nooksack

I went to highschool with a guy who shot a 380+ bull on handcock property last year, he had it scored at the sportsman show this year and I saw it. It is an amazing bull, sorry I can't post the pic's I have no way of getting his permisson. I wait for their drawing results before I put in for the state's tags, it would be an amazing draw. The best part is you pick which weapon you want and the place is yours.

Without question, the best tag in the state for 'roosevelts'.

I would not shoot a bull in this land unless it was well over 300. The sad thing is that would not be to hard. I call 10 or 11 in every year these bull are very vocal. Sorry about the third pic I was loosing light fast

-ya CougKlr's dad got a Monster in there! My other buddy drew it 2 years ago and ate his tag! Just never found what he was after! Its not a gimmie hunt for a Booner bull but they are in there thats 4 sure!

swanny · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:40:11 PM »

Some nice looking bulls for sure!

Does everyone get notice of the draw, or only those that get drawn? Just curious when I'll get told I'm not chosen

gotshot · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:52:17 PM »

Only the people drawn will get notice. I used to get drawn for doe tags when it was Rainier and Campbell and PLWMA never got a elk tag but a friends dad did and pulled out a monster.

It would be tough to choose which tag to pick up, archery season would kick butt but then so does muzzy. Then of course the success of having a rifle in you hand and being able to shoot a lot farther is inticing also, I hope it's a tough decision I have to make. I still don't know exactly what I would choose. How about you guys?

I would choose to get drawn for the multi season tag...

Historically, the tree farm is often closed during most, if not all of archery season, so I would choose muzzy or modern. The bulls up there are fairly vocal, so I would probably choose muzzy. They also seem to still be rutting during and even after the muzzy season. I'm just waiting for a phone call, so I can make my decision.

archery...hunting the rut in there would be awesome

throttlejocky20 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2011, 07:56:56 PM »

The last couple years it has been open for archery season and thats the cats meow. Shooting one at 200+ isn't the same as calling one in and sticking one at 30 or 40 yards.

There is no difference for me. A dead big bull is a dead big bull. I don't care how far away it was killed.
