They posted the winners on the website!!
Well unless we're still in 2015 and they selected the exact same 6, I'm still holding out hope :tung:
That's last year's winners

Do any of you think competition with the elk herds hurts the deer population in Kapowsin? I went for a hike yesterday and saw 40-45 elk and only 1 deer. Then 2 more deer driving out but that's it.I think making it any Buck is going to destroy what's left of the deer population. Only saw 1 legal buck this last year. I also think Hancock could give out a few more Bull tags and not hurt the herds at all. But that's my :twocents:

i 100% agree with both of you! And they need predator control, I don't think it's a coincidence that since hound hunting was banned the deer population has gone down. And they could easily give 10 permits for 3 pt or better and 5 spike tags.Do any of you think competition with the elk herds hurts the deer population in Kapowsin?

As opposed to drawing it twice in a matter of what? months? days? You've just got sour grapes in your cereal bowl. By the way, who are you talking about?Nope just wish I had the luck that some have. :chuckle:

I was thinking they could do 10 for each weapon. 10 archery 10 muzzy and 10 rifle. There's people who don't even fill the tag if they draw in there! Guy I know talked a hunter who drew and he didn't fill the tag and that hunter knew someone who didn't fill it either. Making it any Buck is crazy. What's also crazy is the amount of doe tags and archery being any deer. Guys can draw multi and go smack a doe in December if they don't kill a buck during the rifle hunt.

Ya, there are Elk every where. They could give out a few more tags and not hurt the herds at all. Also, then they might sell all the passes if they drew for more elk.

Cant you buy multiple access permits so you can theoretically flood the draw? :dunno:

i don't believe you can buy more than one permit, but he's got some trick that's working quite well. :chuckle: he's beaten the odds incredibly well, very lucky guy.

He drew the tag before this time?

it appears you can get drawn more than one time. I see no rules regarding this. has anyone asked them?
Ya it's equal oppurtunity every year. Just seems fishy someone would draw it 3 times without arrangement with Hancock somehow.

He's only drawn it twice and bought a single permit just like everyone else. Nothing fishy at all, just got lucky.

Stupid statements like this are what make this forum entertaining!
Please, disclose how you came to the conclusion that Trav has a "fishy agreement" with Hancock. I'd love to get in on it myself!

just curious and don't want to sound stupid or anything but If you buy more than one recreational permit for kaposin in your name would you be entered twice in the drawing? has anyone asked them?
That would get really expensive fast!

Good for Rudy. He is a member on here ran into him a couple times up there, he is a great guy who always knows where the bigger bulls are. I can't wait to see what he can pull out of there. If you need any help rudy get ahold of me
Yeah, Rudy is a stud. He's going to kill a huge bull. Great guy too.

I went to high school with Jeffery Burgess. He is a teacher there now. That lucky SOB..
The one who drew the tag is Jeffery Burgess' dad, Jeffery Senior, but I have him as a teacher currently

Rudy tag out yet?
I don't think Rudy got his bull yet. Trav and Clint did though.
Post by: Romulus on September 23, 2016, 04:26:10 PM
He was willing to eat his tag rather than compromise on what he wanted until he really had no chance to do anything other than eat his tag or shoot the last bull he saw before dark on the last day..
Pretty satisfying I would say....No one knows more about the big boys habits out there than Rudy but sometimes things just don't quite work out..... that is why it is called hunting.
Post by: jackelope on September 23, 2016, 04:42:06 PM
Rudy killed a respectable mid 330's bull with 5 minutes left in his season.......he hunted for a couple of the true monsters in there for the entire hunt and never got a shot that he felt comfortable with.....Could have more than likely sealed the deal with a couple 350 class bulls and one mid to high 360's bull but did not want to pursue a bull smaller than the 2 largest bulls he turned up scouting until the last couple evenings and then things did not quite work out....

Anyone should be thrilled with a 330" bull on the westside, especially if the guy worked his butt off for it. Sure sounds like he did. Congrats to the hunter.

my neighbor knows Rudy and the bull he has on trail cam at the water hole is absolutely mind blowing! By far the biggest Rosie i have ever seen, just too bad he couldnt connect with himThat bull sure is something else, pretty cool to have watched him in person.
