Post by: bobcat on June 12, 2015, 12:30:09 PM: I drew that hunt in '05 and shot a spike. That's why I wonder why people always refer to those eastside tags as "big bull" tags. You know you can kill a spike too, right? :chuckle:

Post by: elk79 on June 12, 2015, 12:34:16 PM: Yes. Had the bull tag in 2010 got a decent 6x6.

Post by: scoutdog346 on June 12, 2015, 08:51:20 PM: don't let anyone discourage you about that tag. it's a very good tag. in my opinion it's the fourth best tag in Washington State east and west including...not including those modern firearm tags that take place in September them r ridiculously good. I predict u will harvest a 300+if u spend over 9 days hunting and put at least 2 cams out b4 and during ur hunt...watch.

Post by: Naches Sportsman on October 08, 2015, 07:59:09 PM: Go deep and steep. Doesn't have to be too steep though. Best bulls in the 346 are being shot deep into the Norse Peak this year. It has been hit and miss and not so good of a year for bulls being killed as in years past according to a knowledgeable source I talked to on tuesday afternoon.

I'm new to muzzleloading and have shot about 20 shots ever, all of them this year between the range and one shot on a blacktail buck I got but haven't experienced any misfires yet. What is a hang fire? And what do you think caused it? I'm putting about 6 grains of 4f black powder down before my pyrodex pellets as a primer and using RWS German Musket caps in a Vortek strikerfire northwest. Thanks for the help!
