Mt Adams or goat rock wilderness areas or nooksack if it were me, it should be filled in two months on one of the rut hunts though.NAH ..Nooksack has been wiped out ...you may find a 300 bull if your lucky ... it will take years for this unit to get good again :twocents:

2 very good suggestions right there IMO.

whats a incentive tag? never heard of it. is it a tag that he can hunt any season, any weapon and any elk?
Check out page 91 in the Hunting Pamplet, different than the Multi-Season tag.

He still has more than enough time to kill a bull.
Post by: trophyhunt on November 28, 2012, 05:36:35 PM
Hunt the watershed :)He cannot hunt in the watershed with that tag, I would recommend the white river, when the snow flies the elk come down from the park. If he want's someone to show him around and I have some free time I will be glad to help. He can PM me for info also. If he just wants any bull and doesn't mind a small one, I would agree with bobcat, but there are much bigger ones in the white and they don't have hoof rot!! I can't believe he didn't go in the rut thought, what a missed opportunity.
Post by: bobcat on November 28, 2012, 05:40:59 PM
My advice might also change depending on where he lives. So where does he live?
Post by: Tbar on November 28, 2012, 05:54:34 PM
I just got a call from my friend, his brother has not even hunted yet :bash: He is now starting to scramble to fill the tag,anyone want to throw out anymore suggestions for this late in the year? ThanksDo you know what this guy is looking for? There are still a few hanging around. We saw a decent 6 yesterday but I agree the rut was the time. Btw the 6 was easy access.

He wants a respectable bull? He has never done much elk hunting. He has to hunt with whatever weapon is open during that season and does not bow or muzzleload hunt. JerryThis seems to come up every year about this tag, I believe he can use any weapon till Dec. 31st in any unit that is open for hunts. Except the green river watershed. Someone know for sure?? Where is he located?? When can he hunt??
Post by: bobcat on November 28, 2012, 06:13:43 PM
He has to hunt with whatever weapon is open during that season and does not bow or muzzleload hunt.
He may not be able to hunt Margaret at all then, except for possibly December 16th. I know there is an archery permit from December 1-15, and there is a rifle cow permit right now, to the 30th. So actually I guess he may be able to hunt tomorrow and Friday. The muzzleloader bull permit got an extended season from December 17-31. If he's interested in Margaret, he should call the WDFW and find out when he can legally hunt there with a rifle.

Read page 17 of regs, must hunt archery season with archery equip. And so on, if no season open he can use any weapon.Which means he could use a rifle in between archery and muzzy seasons aka during the rut. Or before archery, or during deer season.... as long as muzzy or archery were not open he could have used a rifle. I'm sorry but it sounds like a wasted opportunity...

White River
I agree. That's where I would be.
Post by: Curly on November 28, 2012, 07:09:36 PM
Any of the other units around the National Park would be good too, I think. 654 (Mashel), 516 (Packwood), 513 (South Rainier)........ a check of the regs shows that they don't have ML or Archery seasons going on right now in those units (I just quickly looked, I could be wrong), so those units would be worth a look too. Snow should push elk out of the Park, I'd imagine.

I hope this guy gets to eat that permit. Talk about no preparation or plan. An elk deserves better than get shot by him.He did not apply for this permit, he was chosen at random.....he has never killed an elk and does not really hunt for them,has very few hunting friends,so please do not bash him,thats why I am trying to help him fill this tag.

I hope you get him on a monster for his first elkaholic!! Like said before kill one up white river, get on a track and dont let up. As for not deserving to kill an elk??? sounds like some one is jealous mpetersen....

Elkaholic123 if you do go to white river remember anybody who sets foot on Hancock land needs a permit. Good luck.
Aren't the permits for this year sold out?

One more vote for White River. There are some mashers in there.
just a little FYI I drive though the WR hancock every day for work and so far this year I have seen 3 poached bulls in back of gamee's(probably all bruce) truck, seen at least 4 or 5 big bulls in indians trucks. So good luck hunting the WR.

Can't believe he didn't catch the week between archery and muzzy.... Could've been over fairly easy....
:yeah:
And actually there was almost 3 weeks between the end of archery elk and the beginning of muzzleloader elk.

Check out page 91 in the Hunting Pamplet, different than the Multi-Season tag.
So is the "incentive tag" no longer special tags intended to provide an incentive for early reporting to avoid a last-minute rush before the Jan. 31 hunter report deadline ?

I take it that within your groups with archery, muzzy, and rifle, no one got the big guy down yet. One of the rifle rut guys got the twisted 6 that seemed to be summer running mates with the one I think you guys were chasing.
Or maybe your talking about something totaly different.......

I talked to a guy in Cle-elum last weekend who had one and shot a 375 bull in the Teanaway in Sept this year
with a rifle in Sept
20 minute hunt
fabulous bull! nice guy!
Post by: huntnphool on November 30, 2012, 11:50:24 AM
Thanks phool I thought soI'm not sure that was a incentive tag, the regs read that you can hunt until the end of the year but you still need to use the weapon for that corresponding season. Sept. in the Teanaway is archery if I'm correct? :dunno: He must have shot it between seasons if he used a rifle? :dunno:

Not sure what Bluesdude was thinking but I was talking about a totally different area. There are some good ones in margaret but not what I would be looking for with that tag...
