Alkali muzzy bull tag... Billdo Got bull.. Westside 6x6

[HntnFsh]

You should not put in for the units that you do not know. That unit will be really hard if you do not know where the elk like to hang out at. A person I know had it last year and did not shoot anything. Good luck and start to find info out this weekend.  Try to contact anyone who had this tag and ask for info.

Why not?   He has as much right to put in for it as anybody.  Most guys that draw a tag like that are going to do everything possible to make it pay off.. Just cuz you dont know it now doesnt mean you wont know it in a few months. Maybe not completely and intimately.But well enough to do that tag justice.

This type of remark doesnt surprise me though. I heard it when I drew the Late Swakane rifle tag and looked for advice. I would be surprised if anybody hunted it harder than I did. Fortunately there are members on here that are great at helping others out. They sure helped me out. Instead of telling them not to put in for the tags of their choice.

Based on your logic and theory, it sounds like your buddy shouldnt have put in for it last year. This site is about sportsmen helping sportsmen, so you don't have to be so pissy when someone else draws a tag that you wanted!

Most of the elk in the TC are on the east side and back along the columbia and travel back and forth from the ag fields east of Moxee.  they can be scattered everywhere, but this is where the majority are.  they like alfalfa

It can be tough.  Get up high and glass.  the comment about gas, tires and the gate are right on.  They usually do manuvers during sept so being there in the rut may be out.  And calling will be a limited tatic.  And they limit the areas you can go on any specific day.

If you can find them in the draws, a stalk is easy, just get in the next draw and pop out on top of them.  If they are out in the flats that is another story.  You could try to set up and ambush.  Set your dad up and then circle around and bump them to him,  that is a long shot but better than none at all.

This hunt is not a sure thing, but it is a chance at a hanford bull.

It is just an opinion.
And biildo5, I suggest to you to search for the other threads about the alkali units in the past. There is really useful info to be obtained in the past threads that will help you on your hunt.

I do not know if you know anyone who works out there or anything, but it would be helpful if you did.  There is some nice ones in there if you are willing to try hard. The hunts out there can depend on the weather. If I were in your shoes, I would be scouting this weekend or asap. Good luck on your quest this year and stock up on spare tires because you'll need them out there.
A guy I know has killed a lot of special permit elk out there.

Good luck.

I won't be leaving the calls at home I have called in too many elk to count and I have won calling contests... I know I can call one in with my dad 100yds in front of me and they will walk right by him.. And thanks on the help Deerthug

you sound pretty set on callin elk,  but if you dont adjust you may end up with tag soup.  There is alot of spot and stalk out there.  By the way you will be competing with native rifle hunters that will out shoot your smokepole.

My brother's  uncles neighbor's nephew drew also, he said a bull with both eyes gouged out will still come into ya! 

[CAMPMEAT]

My dad got drawn for this and i was wondering i on where we should be scouting or just any info that will help us... i expect to call in another big bull for him this year...

I was coming back from the Pasco Sportsman Show going north on 240 almost to highway 24. I saw nearly 50 elk on the westside of 240. Maybe that might help somewhat.
