If you have done this with any combination of weapons I am impressed with your hunting skills - or luck. If you have done this solely with archery equipment you must be some sort of freakin Jedi Knight.

Just curious, but has anybody out there filled all 4 of these combo tags in one season? I was just thinking and wondering about how difficult this might be...almost like hitting for the cycle in baseball. I've only filled Deer & Bear in one season, both with a bow. Regardless of weapon I'm thinking this may not be done very often.My girls dad did a few years back. Had a cool little congratulations cake for it to :chuckle:

He also works for Weyerhaeuser to, so he kinda knows where all the animals are.

Deer = 5%
Bear = 10%
Elk = 25%
Cougar = 60%
Cougars are an incredibly elusive animal and now that we don't have hound seasons, it'll never be done consistently or without a modicum element of luck.

I'd say as far as the work breakdown would go:What are the % ratios you have?
Deer = 5%
Bear = 10%
Elk = 25%
Cougar = 60%

What the said species would value toward tagging out?

If muledeer or blacktail with horns I would swap the elk and deer around on that. Whitetail I'd have to give deer and elk equal low percentages. I find elk to be pretty dang easy compared to a 3 pt+ buck MD/BT deer and easier to find than a good bear. If it weren't for my hunting partners I'd only hunt elk if I ran out of other stuff to hunt.
Agree on the cougar percentage. Seems I see plenty when the season is not open. When it is open all I usually see of them is a raised tail and a clean a-hole.

No I meant that 60% of that work would go toward a cougar and so on and so forth. Another way of putting it would be that a deer would take 1/12 the effort of a cougar.

I agree with the deer statement but I guess I meant if one was just trying to tag out ASAP anywhere in the state. If that percentage was for a 'good bear' I'd give it a much higher percentage.
I just threw the numbers out there thinking of the average skill set.
