Dang, if you can't find an elk in that timeframe, you're in trouble. :) If you are going to talk to Beau Patterson, you better hurry, he is moving on to a "better career" if he hasn't already. |

Once the snow hits the ground start driving by the orchards. Glass where it meets the timber. You can find where the ground is tore up going back and forth as they come out to feed in the orchards at night. Then start knocking on doors. I had that tag a few years back. I did not score on a bull but had my opportunities at smaller bulls and cows. Mike Henne |

High Country, If I'm not mistaken that Peshastin F is one of those "HM" hunts. Not that that's bad. But the "HM" means that all of the hunting is administered by a "Huntmaster" who contacts tag holders to come hunt a particular time and place on an as needed basis (its a damage hunt). It may work out great for you. But keep in mind they may give out 20 tags and only end up calling 5 hunters. They also pick the days and areas, and if you can't make it they call the next name on the list. I've had 2 "HM" tags. Got called for only one for a two day hunt even though the listed season was like 4 months. Check the recent harvest reports. Few of the "HM" hunts have very many actual hunters listed at all.That's why those "invite only" tags are relatively easy to draw. Of course the WDFW is not really open with their info on this. Like I said, it may work out great. Hope for sure it does. Get a big one! |

Bullklr is right. Looks like there won't be any need for scouting for that hunt! Whatever happened to the "wrong" westside tag you drew? Did you trade it for the Peshastin? You couldn't have gotten both, as they are both AHE second elk tags. |

they gave me the north river tag, the general tag and the 3911 incentive tag. I am aware of the huntmaster status, the 3911 area has always been a hm area and it is open to hunting on public land within the area. the hm tag I drew for north river is specifically limited to hunting via contact with the huntmaster. I have a few issues with the hm hunts as the regs do not say that you can ONLY hunt if contacted by a huntmaster, but just the you MAY be contacted.....it really needs an absolute word ther to keep it clear. I don't know about the pashastin tag as I lost it in the redraw, could be a may or a must.....never know with our state. |
