I got a postcard about that last week...nothing like giving a guy too much notice! I might be able to make the august meeting, but five days head's up is not enough to drop everything and drive four hours. Are you going to the meeting? |

A buddy of mine got a cow out of that unit last year. I bought a west side tag so I am not sure if I could hunt that unit. I also did the AHE thing. My buddy told me that there is a lot of private land and he had some trouble getting access to where the elk were. I think it was because it was so dry the land owners didnt want anyone out there. |

I have taken 3 elk from the unit in 3 years, average hunt time is less then 1 day.....that part sounds easy, now I have a good 30 days into talking to landowners, the huntmaster, officers. I got the door slammed in my face more times than I care to admit, but the guys I hooked up with over there are 100 grade A nice people. I was offered to use his tractor to recover my cow, he offer to help skin it, and never asked for a dime. I noticed a particular brand of whiskey in his cabinet and I ran him a 1/2gal and a thankyou card. the next year when i asked, I was told NO!! I reminded him about the previous year and he oppologized and explained that there had been a bunch of tresspassing and lack of respect/ethics. I was allowed to hunt. I have heard many tales like his and it sux for us. it is really tough to get access if you are a westsider. kittitas seems to think all trouble comes from the coast, so if you are asked where you are from, give a place other then "by seattle" and remember these are mostly ranchers and farmers so dress accordingly. a hummer and a fancy outfit might get you ran off even before your pitch. I have had a hoot over there and made so good contacts, but I am not sure I will be back too soon after hearing some of the dumbers people pulled last year. the wind project took a huge bite out of the only piece of public land in the unit, so it is nearly 100% private. enjoy it while it lasts. ps it is far from a hunt. You see a group of 60 elk in a field, drive to the owners and ask for permission. you go back pick out the big one and shoot......just a meat hunt. |
