Title: Where on the opener EW Gen. Rifle???
Post by: Dave Workman on October 13, 2008, 08:05:51 AM: Where are you going for the Oct. 25 opener in EW???
(trust me..it's hardly a "secret spot" if you're hunting on public land!)

(I'm looking at two places: Little Naches and Upper Colockum)

Heard there's LOTS of camps set up already by the reserve.

Also, heard there's more animals in the canyons over last year, though.... (Whether they're spikes is another question :dunno:)

Post by: EMPyre on October 20, 2008, 02:20:11 PM: I'll be about as far west as you can get in the middle of the state and still hunt with an eastside tag. In fact I'll be able to hunt elk on my right, and black tail on my left, literally.
I spent last weekend deer hunting in the same area and we saw lots of elk sign, and no other hunters!!! Didn't see any animals though, and since this will be my first elk season I'm not holding my breath. Willing to listen to any advice, suggestions, or disparaging remarks. ;)
