I most likely will be hunting elk around home. My buddy Jason Stafford is coming out from Wyoming to hopefully check a Roosevelt off of his bucket list (Its going to be tough for him to go from killing 350+ bulls to hoping we find a good 5x5).
Then head to Montana the last week or two of September.
Crossing my fingers for a multiseason to allow me to put in for some good units.

The day is coming when I will put in for eastside permits and hunt Oregon, Idaho or Montana every year until I draw a tag.

The day is coming when I will put in for eastside permits and hunt Oregon, Idaho or Montana every year until I draw a tag.been that way for several years for me, once I finally draw I'm done with elk in Washington since odds are I will never draw a quality tag again.

Taking my 13 year old to spokane looking for a turkey, and hoping he draws something.
Not sure what i will do with my 10 deer points, probably be put into the not selected category.
Post by: Dbax129 on February 06, 2013, 12:02:49 AM
Speaking of questions, maybe I'll start another thread for this, but why so many people talking about elk hunting outside of wa like its better than here? Someone said "over the counter elk" about idaho? more elk, but smaller maybe? just curious, trying to get into the loop... Also, cow tags? huh? didnt see that on the dfw site, just multi season.
Post by: colockumelk on February 06, 2013, 06:32:14 AM
As for 2014 hopefully I draw a quality east side tag. I will have 10 points by then. I will either hunt with a muzzle loader or a bow. Havn't decided yet. Probably with the smoke pole since my chances of getting an elk are way higher. If I don't draw a tag then I will be hunting an archery OTC unit somewhere in Idaho. I've been doing some research but havn't pinned down an exact unit yet. Getting excited for the 2014 hunting season. Only 19 months away. :chuckle:

I will be missing the 2013 elk hunting season :'( I will be doing a 9 month OTC hunt in Afghanistan with my new $32 million Longbow. It's custom made by Boeing. :chuckle: I should do pretty well and hope to put a pretty good dent in the ferral swine population over there. :chuckle:

I'll remember that if I get a tag for my unit. Backcountry packing sucks :)

Put in for other tags.
Hope to get drawn and then kill a bull first day of open season.
Worked last year, more luck than skill but they eat good any way you get them :)
Hope to help my son pack out an elk more than anything this year.

kentrek... put in for hangman a for your moose points .. ive been on 2 successful hunts . both on the first day kills . and a buddy of mine took my info and his daughter killed a 52 in bull on the first day. mine was 41 in and my dads was 44 in. a great hunt. i drew it with 3 points. contaqct me if u draw i will give you everything i got on it.
thanks for the tip on hangman
my plan is two years from now try an cash in on my cow moose tag up in the selkirk area and see what the hunting is like up there..my dad seen some monsters up there an his buddy ended up with a 55 incher..dad said he saw one that was easy over 60 :brew:
i think ima have my brother put in for the hangman for his cow so we can scout that as well...not sure if there is a bad unit for moose..seems like there all pretty good :dunno:
im gona save my bull tag for at least another 5 years or more just so i can have more job security an be able to take a month or two off work an see if i cant find a true monster
sorry bout the thread jack

See if I draw the multiseason tag this year. If not I will be switching to a smokepole and chasing west side bulls in the clearwater unit.
Better check the reg's first, there's no muzzleloader season in the Clearwater unit.
