Who drew a muzzy blues tag?
« on: June 08, 2012, 10:51:00 PM »
It seems us muzzy guys are pretty quiet about these tags, I'm just curious if  you drew. Pm me if you want. I put in for tucannan and wenaha, but after waiting 17 years to draw a quality elk tag, I think I'm done with this bs. Next year just might be the blues watershed with a buddy, 45 tags and low applicants... I'm all over it.

I know you are talking about bulls, but I drew the late cow and the late white tail buck.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

My dad put in for watershed the last 16 years, this year put in elsewhere. 17 points and still no draw. Guy I talked to last year said a lot of guys shot small branch bull. If you do get drawn hike way down in there!

I was in the watershed last year with a buddy that drew (8points). Very demanding ground, but beautiful elk country. Sounds like your dad has the same luck as me, I shouldn't be but I'm surprised he didn't draw with that many points and tags given out. That sucks. I think guys shoot smaller bulls because of the terrain, after two days hiking in there they just want to get there bull and go home. I bet half of the guys don't even hunt it after the first weekend. We ended up with a nice bull, but we did see bigger ones.

I agree. I don't know if he knows what he's in for.

PathfinderJR and I drew late cow muzzy tags for Blue Creek.  We'll start talking to landowners this week.  We put in for the tag on a tip from a friend of ours that farms, so we'll start with him.  I am of the opinion that the muzzy bull tags are the best in the state.  When I am up cutting firewood a week after archery season ends, the bulls are going nuts...

Since that is open to mf, ml and archery at the same time can you exchange your tag for a modern tag?  I wouldn't wanna hunt in there with a bow with rifle hunters running around.

I don't think you can.  I stopped applying for the Shed when I started hunting archery for that reason.  You are right, that's gonna be a tough hunt with a bow.  Competeing with 44 other guys, all carrying rifles...not during the rut...can't spend the night in the unit...

My buddy drew the shed a couple years ago and I'm still trying to drag myself out of there.
