Title: Looking for "Modern" Elk partner
Post by: Elkhorn75 on October 02, 2012, 05:18:41 PM: So all my buddies who said they were down for hunting this year have bailed on me, ok one gets a pass as he's gettin married, perhaps I need new buddies, I dunno.

Regardless, Im looking to go to the southeast side of Mt Rainier for the majestic elk this year and dont really want to go at it alone for safety reasons.

Anyone want to go get some elk or have advise how I could go by myself and be safe.

Thanks!

Leave your GPS location and time of return with a trusted friend, or carry one of those PLBs. Have a map, compass, and GPS, and trust your instincts about being safe and sensible.

Sorry I cannot help more, as we are heading further east.

And I dont have any special tags, I have to hunt where its open modern, but if you need a hunting partner shoot me a pm, i personally dont care to hunt alone and can hunt pretty much anytime.

I'm not sure this is the best place to buy it from but it provides good information. http://www.thesarstore.com/spot/ (http://www.thesarstore.com/spot/)

Post by: koolminx on October 06, 2012, 10:44:22 PM: This is going to get crowded if this goes on much longer LOL.

I'm needing an Elk partner this year also and haven't picked up my tag just yet so I can choose west or east. My pop's definitely can't go on the elk hunt with me for much more than the drive out.

So anyone care for a tag along like myself? I haven't been on an elk hunt since 1987.... (southern Utah)
