Yeah that's so awesome I'm jealous. How many points did you have? I've got 8 and really want to draw that tag since it's not to far from me.Promise you won't be mad? We had 5 points as a group! I put us in as a group thinking we were just building points! Figured there was no way of drawing 3 tags when only 5 were available!Pure luck that we drew!!

Newbie here, how does it work to draw as a group? Is someone assigned as the shooter for the group by the state?When you apply as a group if anyone's name is drawn everybody in the group gets drawn. So everyone in the group gets to be a shooter!

When you put in as a group you only have one application not one for each person. So your group of hunters is treared like one hunter with 5 pts not multiple hunters with 5pts.

My Dad drew one of the rifle tags. He's getting up there in years and has never shot an elk. We're pretty excited for this opportunity. Good luck to you and your group!That'd be pretty cool if your dad's first bull was a wall hanger :IBCOOL: I hope he gets one! Good luck!!

Unit is accessible in December but the elk are spooky as all get out with all the native hunters deer and elk hunting in their with rifles. I would do everything I could to tag out in Seltember. Congrats on the tags!Thanks on the info! I do have the whole first season off and we plan on hitting it hard! Hopefully we can get it done on the first go around!

Any updates? How did you guys do?We had a lot of close encounters and a few missed opportunities. But unfortunately we didn't come home with anything. We'll be back in December to see if we can make something happen.

The only reason there are 9x7 Bulls running around the landscape is because these Elk are on private land where the Tribes and State can't manage them.Am I misunderstanding? Forgive me. It does say 9x7 are only there because of private. I might be mistaken but I don't think that bull was killed on private land. Do they only grow big on the valley bottom? I have an idea we will manage the forest elk and the state can manage the private river bottom.

Who is we Green Broke . Who will manage the forest elk. The State tries to manage the Elk on private lands as well as the forest elk. Costing wdfw alot of money.

Who do you think foots the bill for damage elk cause to crops paying back farmers , paying for electric fences to keep elk out. Paying for elk conflict specialists, radio callers . and paying other wdfw people to constantly deal with this herd.
The state isn't paying for the fence and radio collars the tribes are.and it's the tribes putting the fences up

My statement was not about said bull that was killed, good for whoever got it.
My statement was about big Bulls in general and why they are here.
If we is referring to the tribes I would like to hear more about this management plan for forest Elk, maybe some season dates and quotas.

All I can say is congrats to the young hunter and hopefully the issues and politics of tribal/non-tribal hunting and it's inequalities keep itself from from, if, in fact it is a female juvenile. Save the opinions for adults that can defend themselves. :tup:
Agreed and well said :tup:

Tribes can hunt the valley, just not private land.The only reason there are 9x7 Bulls running around the landscape is because these Elk are on private land where the Tribes and State can't manage them.Pretty sure Tribes cannot hunt on private land. So maybe it wasn't a tribal hunter.

even with permission? Other tribes can hunt the private land tree farms.Tribes can hunt the valley, just not private land.The only reason there are 9x7 Bulls running around the landscape is because these Elk are on private land where the Tribes and State can't manage them.Pretty sure Tribes cannot hunt on private land.

Thanks for the Clarification Tbar. I knew that was the facts. Also doesn't seem likely one group could be in charge of Elk that have legs and cross the hwy all the time. Wdfw and the tribes have to try to Co manage the herd.Agreed.
