Title: 3 kinds of WA elk
Post by: mtman on October 20, 2016, 08:44:08 PM: I have been wanting to try the coastal elk hunt for a few years now. If I could get one I would have a Rocky, Cascade and Roosevelt from Wa. I like to hunt in different ways so I gave the mountain bike hunting a try and it worked out. Now my goal is to try and get a 5x5 or bigger Roosevelt to mount. pics Rocky,Cascade and 2016 Roosevelt.

I think they are classified as cascade Roosevelt elk if they are taken between i5 and the pacific crest trail. It is a Boone and Crocket scoring category I think.

Pretty sure he's referring to the Roosevelt/Rocky Mountain elk mixes that reside E of I5 and W of the Cascades range. We've gotta call em something, right? ;)

It's actually a NW Big Game Records scoring category. There is no category for Cascade Roosevelt elk in B&C or P&Y. Those are Rocky's according to B&C.

Congrats by the way...that's a great achievement.

Post by: mtman on October 21, 2016, 08:06:03 PM: Thanks for all the kind words. I just really enjoy the fact that in our state we have way more options to hunt different sub species of both deer and elk then most other states have.I have also been working on a deer slam the last few years .Washington state is a good state to be in when you only have to travel to Alaska for a Sitka blacktail and down south for a Coues Whitetail. The other three B.C. recognizes are right here.
