If anybody has any info they're willing to share about the Mt. Adams hunt, I'd love to hear it, feel free to PM me. I've spent some time up there over the last 10 years, but I'm gonna be talking to my cousin that lives in White Salmon and see what kind of info he and his buddies can share with me. Definitely looking forward to this hunt, only 5 tags issued, so should be pretty quiet and it'll be nice hunting unpressured elk.

I would say goodbye to the high hunt this year. You have every other year for that hunt. I would focus on the bull tag, kill early then maybe the high hunt can still happen. Its a great tag, goodluck :tup:
X2
forego the high buck and concentrate on that bull tag.

We hunted muddy meadows all the way over to foggy flats, and over to the Killen Creek trail and all the ground in between. I spooked one elk while doing some business in the woods but i never saw it. And the one bull i did see was running away, not sure just how big it was.
We got run out of there because of the fire.
It was very hot and dry and i saw a total of 1 elk. And i put a ton of miles on my boots. The bulls were bugling at night nothing during the day.
Good luck, it is a beautiful hunt. Hope you have better luck than i did. Luckily i did get my points back, but 15 didn't help me this year.

Good to hear Timberstalker, guys like that can be hard to come by, but worth their weight in gold (beer) when you need them.
Cheap beer too. It's all about the Busch lite.
:puke:

Good luck on the tag.

I just had the general western archery tag, not that nice bull tag. And don't forget: the tipi juice recipe came from you, Plat!

Couesbitten-We gotta get scouting! I don't have any permits to waste time on this year. Get the Busch Lite packed up. The pack I blew apart a few years ago needs another 1/2 elk on it. Gotta make sure the repairs made work. Let's rock this thing. :chuckle:

elkontherun, that's a good looking bull you shot, and would love to hear any information your willing to share, send me a PM. My cousin and his buddies all live in the White Salmon up to Trout Lake area, and I've already started poking them for insider information. I'm planning on having a great hunt regardless of how big a bull I shoot.
Thanks to both of you, Scott

I had it last year... If i was you i would hunt the last week. The archery guys ruin that hunt, as there are a ton of archery hunters running the elk around the week before you will be in there.
We hunted muddy meadows all the way over to foggy flats, and over to the Killen Creek trail and all the ground in between. I spooked one elk while doing some business in the woods but i never saw it. And the one bull i did see was running away, not sure just how big it was.

Glad you got your points back. That was a bum deal for ya last year. I will be up there this Aug for horse camp. You are right...its beautiful.
