Tucannon
« on: June 26, 2011, 10:03:16 AM »
I drew a tucannon bull tag and scouted it while i helped my buddy on the buck deer tag last year. Saw a lot of elk and some good bulls. Going to scout as much as possible but it's a long drive so probably only 3-4 trips. My best friend was down for the whole season last year and made a lot of connections so i will start with additional research there. Was wondering if anyone had any info on when the time of year the horns would be fully formed and any additional places to look. Thanks.

Muzzleloader. Pretty much the same time we were there for my buddy's deer tag last year. Hard to find any decent bucks, but saw a lot of elk.

10. I took a couple years off hunting draws around my college years when I didn't have much $. Prior to the points system I put in starting I think in 1991. So I actually have alot of years of drawing for my first wa bull tag.

My buddy's got one of the other two muzzy tags too... should be a great hunt!  We'll look for you up there.

Congrats!

I hopefully will have some nice pics.  It always feels like a slam dunk when you draw a LE permit until you realize its stll hunting.  My buddy and I died in the shed last year and he did everything perfect.  But we never found the bull. And MuleDeerCrazy let your buddy know that I would love company at any point (scouting, hunting, etc.) cause thats what its all about.  I also am willing to share anything I know to help him on his hunt.

first of August the antlers  will just be hardening and the size will be the same as the season, minus the velvet. The Velvet comes off around the end of august.
Its all about the bone baby!

Trouble finding deer in the Tuccannon? Been hunting there for over 20 years and always get our deer and even elk when we draw. The ridges off the back side of skyline drive or over by Maloney Mountain hold good elk.

He said hard time finding decent bucks. They are hard to come by. Elk in the first of October should be fun!
