I guess I will be hunting elk for about 6months as I pulled the f tag....so anyone wanna give up any advice. I have never hunted the area, but I figure 6 months to kill any elk is good odds. |

It can be a tough hunt. not sure when your hunting dates are but Hot and dry in the summer and there can be a lot of snow in the winter. Some of the roads will be blocked in the winter ( they only plow to the last house on the road ). There can be some big bulls in there. When is your season? |

People with those winter permits post alot pic's of big bulls they've taken. Looks like you drew a good trophy permit. I drew the "any elk" tag for the third week of Sept in 2004. The elk were hard to find since they had been hunted hard for about a month before I showed up. If it hadn't been for a fired up bull that couldn't keep quiet, I may have gotten skunked on that hunt. As it turned out, I shot a 7x7 that grossed 345" with main beams over 52" long. I'd suggest you talk to Beau Patterson, the wildlife bio for that area. You might turn you on to the best time and place to score a wallhanger in that unit. Remember, snow will be a major issue there during the winter months. It will bring the elk down but your mobility is greatly decreased. |

here are some pictures from my Peshastin elk hunt a few years ago. I had a pretty tough hunt. A view from were i shot my bull. Some steep country and about 15 inches of snow. Almost to much snow. My bull. The year I drew there was only 5 permits. I seen pictures of three of the other four bulls shot that year and mine was the smallest. One was huge. |

thanks guys....keep it coming! I have the aug 1-feb 28th to kill any elk. seems doable. as for snow I am no stranger to that. last years elk was dead in 30 inches of snow....that sucked much bad. two years ago just over 6", that was perfect. |
