Title: jkthomps 2016 Elk Hunt
Post by: jkthomps on September 08, 2016, 01:29:24 PM
Good luck to everyone that will be out chasing elk this next week! There are so many good elk hunting threads this year that I can’t wait to read the stories and see photos!!! I am more excited about other hunts planned out on here than my own and I really hope everyone is successful! There are stories this year that give me goosebumps and truly make my eyes water and motivate me to be and do better all around. Seeing the friendships, new and old, come together through the forum and how “we” as a hunting community come together when it is most needed makes me feel like this group, even if we have never met or never see eye to eye, is truly a group I can take pride in and know that, in one way or another, things will be okay. Whether it be a life challenge, a sickness, death, new job, loss of job, or whatever might be going on, I truly feel that there are good people on this forum and in the hunting community that help people get through life. A big Thank You and Good Luck to everyone that is heading out!

Due to a crazy past couple of weeks and months, some unfortunate and fortunate events (deaths and births), I will be running solo this elk season. I will be hooking the trailer up tonight, loading it up, and heading out tomorrow afternoon. Being solo and with influence from my wife, I decided to kind of cheat this year and reserved a camp spot at Camp Kalama. My wife said she would feel better knowing I was in a RV Campground, and given the unfortunate deaths we have had in my family the past few weeks, I won’t argue with her this year. Besides, full hookups = warm showers, hot meals, dryness, and elk hunting at its finest hahaha. I will definitely have to go back to the backcountry next year to make up for this year, maybe lol. Heck, I might even be able to hunt hard in the mornings and fish for salmon in the afternoons! We will see!

I am just glad that my wife encouraged me to still head out. I was so close to just bagging my plans, but with time spent with @DaveMonti and @Bow_mon hanging out, tuning my bows and spending money on new gear, and with my wife encouraging me to stay on track, I am glad I did not bag my trip. Sure, I feel bad that she will be home with our two little ones and new puppy, but she said she knows how much I need this time right now and bagging my trip was not an option. She also reminded me that she has to deal with me on a daily basis, so the puppy and kids will be a cake walk; wait, maybe she is trying to tell me something there lol. I am pretty lucky, even though she doesn’t hunt and wouldn’t hurt a living thing, she is pretty amazing and I count my blessings every day I see her smile back at me. Not to mention our kids get their looks from her, so she has that going too.

I should be able to update this, my first official Hunt-Washington Elk Hunting thread, nightly. That is if I get back to camp and have internet. I am packing my cameras and tripods as well, so hopefully I will be able to share my experience with everyone. I am not as good as others at taking photos and videos, so you might see a lot of blurry bigfoot photos, but it will be fun for sure. Who knows, maybe I will surprise you guys.

If anyone is hunting in or around the Weyerhaeuser Longview – St. Helens permit area and needs a hand or wants to try and meet up, feel free to send me a PM. I will be up there the 10th - 17th. I have the motorized vehicle pass for down there and don’t mind helping out where I can. I know the area pretty well. If you happen to see me on the roads or in the campsite, stop by and say hi! Silver F150 – Coug Plates.

Good Luck!
Jim

I didn't post about the deaths, only a couple guys on here knew and they were awesome at keeping me upright. It has just been crazy lately. I keep my sanity because of this forum :) They say that things happen in threes, so I should be good after these past few weeks. Knock on wood.

Yeah I have a feeling there will be more than a few elk out there. I was just thinking, I have my deer, bear, and cougar tags too and the season is open for all of them... wouldn't it be something if I tagged all four in the same area!

Thanks! It is muddy and got lots of branch love aka scratches today, it'll buff out, I hope lol. No blood, yet. Saw 4 bulls - two that I won't pass up if I get in range and 6 cows with a smaller one. Cows were super close and it was tough not to let an arrow fly. Got within 90 yards of the smallest of the bulls but another hunter spooked them out. We chatted for a bit. Turns out he never saw the bulls until they boltrd. His first year hunting elk and archery and he was just trying to find his way out of the mess. Took him to the road and sent him on his way. Good guy, no complaints here.

In the elk past couple of days. Weak cell service, so photos are not loading up. Day by day stories to follow when I can. My eyes are on a stud bull I ran into yesterday, but I wouldn't pass on a cow either :)

Sorry photos suck. For some reason I forget all about photos when I am in pursuit haha.

Got in them again today. Quiet morning compare to the last two days. 80 degrees will do that I guess. I am still working the big boy. He is smart and won't give me a shot. Yesterday and today he would sit in the timber and have an hour conversation with me, but he won't give me a shot. I have a game plan for him tomorrow. If he is in the same routine as the last two days. I  had a raghorn about run me over but I was not ready for him at all. Couple cows are looking really temping right now but figured I would give it as much as I can the next couple days since I have the time off.

Better photos for yoy ;)

Nap time on a stump.

Well my season was cut short. My one year old daughter was running a fever and my wife took her to the dr. She had a double ear infection, so they gave her antibiotics. She then had a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotics, and my wife had to take her to the ER last night, so I packed up and will call it good for now. Was a great few days and I will take it back up during late season. Will "settle" for a cow then lol. All in all, it was a great hunt and I will be back out there soon.

My daughter is good. The doctors just gave her benadryl and changed her antibiotics for her ear infections. She is in pain from the rashes all over her body, but she will be ok.

Congrats to everyone who got out and tore it up!

I came home to watch my daughters first high school volleyball game, she made varsity, played every minute, they won and my buddy tagged out this morning.  That gives me next weekend to spend at the cabin chasing cows and true spikes.

I hope you daughter keeps improving.

It was a great hunt for sure. There is one specific bull that has my number and he kept me busy, and made me work hard even to get close enough to "chat" with him. It was fun! I have photos and videos I will post up when I get time. I can't believe the heat the past few days, it was crazy.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We had to take my daughter to the dr again this morning. She had a rash come back last night and this morning she woke up in a ton of pain and it looked like she had measles or start leprosy, poor thing (my wife didn't like my descriptions lol)... Dr said another drug allergy. Could be the old antibiotics flaring up or the new round of antibiotics. But an allergic reaction.  Nothing to do but wait it out and call if it gets worse. Benadryl if it seems to itch and Ibprofin for her being uncomfortable and make sure she drinks a lot of water.

On a plus side, the good news is her ear infection is gone.

Thanks again for keeping us in your thoughts. She will be okay as soon as this crap gets out of her system.

Yeah, it sucks seeing kids suffering, but she is good to go now. Had a doctor appointment this morning and she got the all clear. Just some minor spots left that will clear with time. Will shoot a pm over to you in the morning so we can get together soon. I will toss some info I have on a good place I know for westside muzzle elk... never know, it might help out.

It's tough when the little ones get sick! They can't tell you what's wrong or what hurts.

I'm glad she is doing better!

She is all better! What a pain

Yeah exactly! Wish there was a way to take all the pain away for the kiddos.

I will be back on this thread in Nov. Might still be able to get a bull if I can dig up some info on other units besides 520 for late season.

Thanks again for the well wishes for my daughter. She is about back to 100%. Our first experience with an allergic reaction. Glad it is over for now.

Think I missed it but what was she allergic too? and is it long term allergic reaction? Meaning what ever it is she has to avoid from now on?

It was the amoxicillan that they gave her for her ear infection. She might grow out of it, she might not. We will do an allergy test in a couple of months.
