Eat your tag or go Elk Hunting?

[seth30]

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 

[seth30]

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!

[deerslyr]

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)

correct on switching back, but I applied for special permits.

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.

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

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

Get some maps and go hunt.
