West side guide help
« on: June 10, 2012, 10:05:36 PM »
Here is the situation, I have been hunting East side for 25 years, mostly MF deer/ elk bear, the last 3 years spent bow hunting deer. I got drawn for a multi-season tag for elk but did not draw any special permits.

I would like to archery hunt general season west side units any elk or 3 pt min to get a chance at a mature bull.

I am looking for a reputable guide service that could help me tag something other than a spike or cow, gotten a number of them already.    thanks

If Forks isn't too far or too wet, you could look up Jim Mansfield.  Usually the recommended guide for hunting or fishing on the peninsula.

I would second that. I went to school with Carl. That would be a very good starting point for you. Give him a call and talk to him. It can't hurt. I know his passion is BIG BLACK BEARS but he knows a thing or two about the local elk.  I also know that in the last couple of years he has been heading out of state in the early season and killing some MONSTER BULLS!!!   :drool:
I would call him soon.
