Tucannon Elk Tag - Any info on area would be great.

[MOOSEHUNTER41]

My dad got a Tucannaon Elk Tag  - looking for any info we can get on area.

[724wd]

steep, deep, & lots of people.  get off the road a ways and you'll find elk.

[B.G.hunter]

which tag modern, muzzle or archery?

[jackelope]

What's your or his I guess.... hunting style?
Do you like to hike? A lot of it is steep and thick. Have you guys been in there before?

[Brushbuster]

Congrats to your dad on drawing this tag! I had the tag 5 or 6 yrs ago you guys will have a great hunt!

Did you draw a moose tag last year? If so, you may want to post a story & pics of that hunt. (Sorry I missed it if you did). I'll bet there are lots on here who would love to know how your hunt went. You may also have some intel for a lucky moose tag holder for this year.

My info is a little outdated but may be a good place to start. Shoot me a pm if interested.
Good luck to You & your dad!

I drew muzzy last year if you want any info pm me. What season?

[Wapitawacker]

I drew tucannon musket this year!! 2nd choice to boot!

[trophyhunt]

This tag was my first choice for muzzy elk, 17 points and no luck. Good luck on your hunt, I hope you kill a monster! Congrats.

Lets hear about your moose hunt, or whats been up with you since the last year when you asked for help.

[Ridgerunner]

Lol, if you had a moose hunt last year lets see some pics and hear some stories.

[Chuethou_b18c5]

Congrats on the tag. This is a great unit with lots of Monster bulls. Get off the roads, burn some leather and you will find them.  Good luck on the hunt!

Lots of info out there, but its a give and take world.  I am in that unit getting firewood and hunting yearly as are a lot of others on here.  We want to hear the success, or attempts at success at that moose tag.

There are two roads on top of either side of the tucannon you should glass/hunt from. You can hunt from the river up but its much easier from the top down. If you hunt from the bottom up you will have had to hunted there before to know where the elk move in from the top, and I am assuming you haven't hunted here before so stick to the top and spot your bull before you go down after it. That is all that you need to know about the tucannon. Go drive those roads and find places to glass.  Enjoy.

[jackelope]

There's bulls on top of that ridge in the pics I just posted. Really, there is.
5 of them if I remember correctly.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

It doesn't surprise me, I recognize those ridges.  Seriously there are bulls everywhere!

[NWWA Hunter]

Bulls everywhere. Monster bulls? Yes and no. We had an incredibly tough hunt last year. I put on a ton of miles and we had pre scouting and it was hard to find truly big bulls. If I had to do it over I would have found a way to go guided or at least get a drop camp. Money was real tight last year so I didn't go that direction.

[Caseyd]

I like that fog pick phool 

[NWWA Hunter]

And trust me, I hunt pretty hard. We hunted the shed in 2010,  I go on a couple DIY out of state hunts every year, and keep in shape by doing concrete work.

[huntnphool]

Thanks, there were seem big bulls out there.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

It takes time to learn every area.  The guys who Have hunted there for years already know where  they will be opening morning and probably have seen the bull they wanna tag for a few years.  They have had a lot of time to pattern it and the elk in the area.  They know where they run, where they hide, and where they are not.
The guys who apply cause they hear rumors will have to work very hard this summer to learn the area and then learn the elk that live there. 

[Nimrod]

Get an outfitter nasty nasty.. So u don't wast days moving camp if u don't see elk in the first hell whole

[JoeE]

Dang that is some steep country!! Is Tucannon in the Blues?

[Woodchuck]

The fires, winters, ticks, bigfoots, wolves. poachers and Rosscrazy have killed every last one.

Yep its in the blues and relatively flat compared to the watershed.

I disagree, although there are some flatter spots.

fun country, just watch out for the poison ivy, biting ants, yellow jackets, snakes, pack rats, skunks, wolves, pot growers, etc. They've already wiped out the elk herd.

Funny thing is I see the elk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


Also I see a 200 class muley just ... oh never mind! Great picture jack 

[Relish the Journey]

The blues are like a love hate relationship.  When its good its good but when its bad its is baaad.  I love hunting it because it doesnt take much to get away from people and you may just see a b&c animal.  I hate the blues because you always seem to be in a three point stance while hunting.  The blues sure make you earn it.  The reward is ever so sweet.

[hambone]

Nothing like hikeing down hill for 2 to3 hours then it takes you double that time to hike back up and out but its great country to hunt in

[Skyvalhunter]

Yea especially would hiking downhill is 3 times as strenous and taxing on your knees.
