I was talked into going to the dry side, and have never hunted there. My orignal plans fell through, and now I will be hunting alone on the dry side for modern elk. Inputs and comments welcome.

Id go if I was you. If I remember correctly I posted some pics of the teanaway high country and you said you knew where they were taken? Id hunt there if I were to ever hunt E Wa for elk. Just keep it to your self please

not me?? Unless it was a moutain that is famous and I commented on it

Try Manastash, Taneum, or Little Naches. Access might be a little more difficult this year due to all the road closures. Try to hike in on a closed road and get away from the crowds. Just think of it as a scouting trip for next year.

I have a strong chance this is my last clean year hunting for the next six years

I am going back to sea duty next August, and I always seem to pull orders to USS Never Home

but I see your point, and if I get lucky and can spend time home during the hutning season than who knows I may find a new honey hole

looks similar but diffent areas. A lot of the pics you had in that post I thought where the same area I was in GMU 418. Sorry about the confusion!

Yah does look really similar!

If you didn't apply for special permits and since modern hasn't started, would it be possible to switch to the wetside? (Assuming there is a wetside area you are familiar with)

I never hunted alone till 2009. I was raised to hunt with a buddy for safety reasons, but trying to find a solid hunting partner that does more that watch outdoor channel is tough

So most of my hunting since then has been alone.

HUNT!!! Id Hunt, I dont care if I have a partner or not.

Rhinoron247 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2011, 05:17:09 PM »

Shouldn't even be a question. And don't worry most places you go over here, you won't be alone!

Skillet · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2011, 05:19:34 PM »

Every time you've hunted somewhere, there was always a first time being there.

Get some maps and go hunt.

Just spent 2 weeks hunting alone

had help or a pertner for a few days, but most was alone.

Hunting partners are unreliable, so I only rely on my self.

Partner or not, I am hunting

You cant kill one from your couch.

Huntboy · « **Reply #19 on:** October 03, 2011, 10:54:03 AM »

Only way to learn new area is to go hunt it.

Woodchuck · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2011, 11:08:20 AM »

Where were you considering going?

bonehead addict · « **Reply #21 on:** October 03, 2011, 10:41:59 PM »

Go hunt, your never alone. I always have at least two good friends when I go, ranging from .357 to 300WSM...

Serious though, if your careful and plan well solo hunting is one of the most rewarding experiences out there.

sebek556 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 03, 2011, 11:07:04 PM »

Hunt. If the partner has a lame excuse, find a new one for next year.

Jingles · « **Reply #25 on:** October 14, 2011, 12:41:10 PM »

Do some homework on the area you think you might like to hunt and go for it. As far as having a hunting partner I wouldn't know what to do if I did have one Have hunted alone all my life with the exception of maybe chasing birds but all the big game has always been by myself.

ValleyHunter · « **Reply #26 on:** October 23, 2011, 12:30:07 AM »

Hunt. Just be prepared to call in the calvary if you nail a big bull way out in the sticks. I had a buddy that flaked last year and I replaced him.
