Post by: Bucks2Ducks on June 11, 2014, 05:27:53 PM: Thought for sure I'd at least get drawn for the colockum slaughter, but I didn't even get that. Should be fun, jealous.

Post by: bobcat on June 11, 2014, 11:17:04 PM: Yeah I couldn't believe the number of permits they had for that one. I applied for the muzzleloader permit and there were only 90 of those, which I figured wouldn't be bad. But 475? I guess they're wanting us to kill a bunch of the elk in there before the Yakama's get them all!

Post by: X-Force on June 11, 2014, 11:22:11 PM: if I'm not mistaken archery is only a 20% success rate with the antlerless tags so far so that's only 95 cows
Title: Re: colockum cow archery
Post by: X-Force on June 11, 2014, 11:28:29 PM: the only downside has been an increase it hunters. 5 years ago we only saw people on the roads. now its getting busy almost like it was before the true spike change.
Title: Re: colockum cow archery
Post by: bobcat on June 11, 2014, 11:31:03 PM: 2013 success rate was 27%. But that was with only 140 permits. So with all the additional permits this year, 20% is probably closer to what it will be.

Post by: steelnducks on June 12, 2014, 08:07:42 AM: Our group of four got drawn Should be a lot of fun. Hopefully our spots aren't very crouded so we can shoot our elk and get out of everyone's way.
Title: Re: colockum cow archery
Post by: D-Rock425 on June 12, 2014, 08:18:29 AM: My group drew 4 tags but 2 of those 4 will be hunting the bull permits they drew.

So 2 in your group drew Colockum Quality? That's a hunt of a lifetime congrats to them.

If it were only that easy. Hopefully at least one of those tags gets filled quickly.

Five tags that's a lot to fill. I'm planning on taking off the whole season to fill our four tags and I know that will still be tough. But if you need help packing out five cows I will be up there.
