Asking for your advise with 16 points and elk muti season!
« on: April 24, 2011, 11:23:24 AM »
This question is for those who have always wanted a blue mountain elk tag like myself.  There are some new choices this year in the quality elk tag. I have always put in for the muzzy tag but now with the multi season tag in my pocket I can put in for the Sept. rifle or the new grande ronde tag.  My head is spinning just thinking which two choices to put in for.  Thanks, and happy Easter.

Dude not to be negitive but why do you have so many points... I do not understand ..  they need to change there sh-- ! after 15 or 20 pts it should be a guaranteed tag ..thats ridiculous ... I drew a special tag in 08 with 0 points so I have no faith in it ..plus my one boy has 9 for pearigin and still no tag ... :bash:

Your points average out, not add up. I think

I don't just want the best chance at drawing, I want the best tag that gives you the best oppertunity to kill a 350+ bull. You guys should have a decent chance but with this system who knows, are you the guy that was hunting with his son in the dayton with muzzy about 3 years ago?

I  would go for the blues or one of the rut hunts in the Yakima area or the Clockum Units. Pretty bad odds with only 1 permit for each unit. Those rut hunts would be fun.

Your points average out, not add up. I think
As far as I understand it, you will be applying with 15 points, or if you are not counting this year, 16 points for group (2 hunters) application, with your combined 25+6=31

It depends how old you are. How long do you have left to live? If you want to draw before you die, apply for the easier to draw permit. Go for the muzzleloader permit. Much better odds than the rifle. A muzzleloader permit is a lot better than no permit at all. And even with 16 points, your chances of drawing a rifle permit in the Blues is very, very low.

Do a muzzle loader hunt can hit the end of the rut. Call Norsepeak on here and book a hunt with him.
