Title: Easing in!
Post by: olesmokey on June 30, 2016, 10:17:05 AM: PERMISSION TO ENTER!
New user here trying to ease on in. I am a 52 yr old elk junky. Been doing it since 1977. Obviously looking for advice as we all are at some time or another but will save that for another day.
My background is SW Washington. Willapa Hills veteran. Would love to offer any and all information i may have. Have had tags or hunted Toutlee,Margaret, Pumice Plains, Gray's river, Toledo, .....Hoping to seek some general advice for my 72 yr old mentor/father.
Thanks for welcoming me in...

Sorry I have no advice to give. I've been hunting the ever over-crowded colockum area with my partner. It is an easy walk in for us both.

Someday, I hope to get a few weeks off for a high hunt or go hunt Idaho/Montana or Colorado.

Is there a general area you are looking for advice in? Or other type of advice?

I have hunted some of the same units as you so you may already know more than me.
But a lot of people know more than me :chuckle:

Low and behold he drew a Goose Prairie modern late bull tag. We know what it takes, have several trips planned and have horses. Just kinda looking for confirmation on what we are thinking. Thanks for the offer bobbyG..
