Title: Blue Creek Archery Tag Sept 5-24th
Post by: djgianukakis on June 16, 2015, 10:00:50 PM: Hey Fellas, I'm new to the Forum. But heard this was the best place to go to get good advice. I drew the Blue Creek Archery tag Sept 5-24. I know there's a lot of private ground and need to start calling some of the landowners. Do you guys have any leads or advice for a young buck that is trying to kill his first Big Bull? Appreciate anything you've got.

Post by: 724wd on June 26, 2015, 09:42:36 PM: i'd recommend getting landowner maps (like ON-X Maps app) start knocking on doors LAST WEEK! you don't have much time! my dad lives in the middle of 154 and ate a rifle elk tag because he waited too long to ask his NEIGHBORS. access can be TOUGH.

congrats on the draw and i hope you find a place to get on a monster bull! :hello:

Just left there on Monday ...Not good. Daughter and I were going to scout a little and look around. We didn't get much of that in

Gonna have to head back over if there is anything left

just pulled this off the net

"BLUE CREEK FIRE, 9 miles from Walla Walla, Washington

About 600 firefighters on the ground and in the air are attacking the fire that has burned one home and nearly 6 square miles.

The blaze is not contained and officials are concerned about extremely hot and dry conditions as it burns grass, shrubs and timber.

Authorities have ruled out lightning as the cause and say it was likely started by people on Monday."

Do people think because somone dosnt sit here and post stuff every day they may not have good connections and be able to help you someday if you would give them a little info. Ill help you kid hope you kill a stud.

Post by: wannabhntr on September 13, 2015, 11:30:09 AM: That thing is an absolute pig. Can't believe the mass. To get it done with your pops is just an added bonus. Truly the hunt of a life time. Sorry for all the negative comments you got at the beginning of your thread. Clearly some people don't know what it's all about. I hope you are a better person than them when they come knocking. Congrats on a great bull.

Glad you didn't let any of the negativity get you down. That is an awesome accomplishment on a true trophy bull done the right way!
