Well Rasbo, consider this the luckiest hunting year of your life.  In Washington, your hunting OPPORTUNITY doesnt get much better than your draws this year.  Plan on spending $$$$ at the taxidermist.   :tup:

I know the area but only visit about 12 times a year and usually during deer season and the big bulls seem to disappear for the most part. I heard that 10 or 11 of the tags were used during muzzle season last year. If that is the case it would be really hard not to be 1 of 2 guys on the property during rifle. What would you do?

My dad and uncle are in the same boat as you. I have only had to buy my own pass for last few years because I used to be able to get in on my dads before I was 18 so I havent been in the drawing very many times. I like the new way of being entered when you buy a pass better than being able to buy up to 15 chances for 15 dollars a pop or whatever it used to be. I didnt even buy a pass this year. Would be an awesome tag to hunt there are some monsters in there :drool:

Bull, Did not know they had cow tags. As far as the permit goes I think about 7 or 8 years.

If you've had a permit for 7-8 years and visit 12 times a year, you should be showing us some pics, not the other way around.  It's kind of like saying "I go to the bars and get laid once a week" and then asking others how to pick up women.  :tup:

my uncles 2003 kapowsin bull. drew the rifle september tag bugled this 6x8 in from 1000+yrds to 65yds for a broadside shot. TONS of huge bulls in the area made him pass up on a 6x6 standing just off the road becuase i knew there were some monsters there. this bull was a dandy had a palm on the right side of his antlers off of the 5th and 6th point the palm had 2 branches off of it very unique bull called him straight out of a wallow cuz he was covered in nasty mud he looked like a black horse with a huge set of antlers. the next day a guy shot a bigger 7x7 that scored 380" a few hundered yards from where my uncle shot his

You should have a good hunt. I have a friend who took a dandy from Kapowasin. Good luck!

I had a spring Bear tag in there this year. The hunt ended June 15th. I saw Elk on most days that I was bear hunting. Some looked like they would have some nice head gear when the growing was done. That's a great tag and you should be able to find a very nice Bull to tag out

I would suggest the muzzleoader hunt.  The rut is still going on strong and its only you and the other guys who got drawn in there.  Every other permit holder is cut off from access.  You shouldn't have a problem locating bulls prior to season and during the hunt.
I've spent most of my life hunting and fishing....the rest has been wasted

heres a few i have coming in to my cam.im still hoping to draw that tag one day. muzzleloader would be a good bet, ive heard them bugling still on opening of deer season in there. my brother and i always wonder what weapon we would hunt with in there if one of us got drawn..id love to take one with my bow in there.

Were you 1 of the six for the Kapowsin side or the only 1 drawn on the Eatonville side?  Just curious, because I have an Eatonville pass, I know that I didn't draw (again).  What side are you going to hunt?  What weapon?

I will be hunting the Kapowsin side through the office gate I think. That could change as the big bulls heard up their cows. Have heard of a couple big bulls on the Eatonville side but have not seen them. Any pics would be great and thanks for the info about the 600 road.
