Long story short is: he got drawn and the contacts his "buddy has" are... shall we say, don't exist in that GMU.
Any advice on how he should proceed would be very much appreciated.

Scott Turner rd has a few walk in only areas, dont have to go very far to get into elk. I believe thats in the mashell unit. Theres also a horse camp on the left going towards Ashford I use to work horses back in there and seen quit a few elk in there. Worth a scouting trip.:yeah:

What tag??I would guess it is the dec-jan cow tag. Lots of time to goo knock on doors between now and then. Or call Shane, I'm sure he has leases that will work.

Get a hancock pass and it will only take 10 min to fill itHancock doesn't allow elk hunting unless you win their drawing.

PS. you still have to buy the pass for the winter hunt...they might offer a day pass for it though.

If it is the late winter Cow tag then Hancock DOES allow access for it...in fact, that tag is only on Hancock property! It's not the entire Mashel GMU, just a portion of it, and is part of an agreement with WDFW when it comes to elk damage on Hancock property since Hancock does not allow GENERAL season access...they can't claim elk damage if they don't allow hunting for the elk so the cow tags help cull the herd (or more than likely allow Hancock to file for tax breaks/grants for elk damage...just a guess though).:yeah: it will be a like shooting an elk in a game farm.

The hunt is for the farmers land where the elk have damaged fences etc. Call the bio and they will give you farmers numbers to call. If you hunt Hancock you will have to buy a seasons pass.

If you get drawn for this tag you can hunt thier property. Ive done it with a couple friends that have been drawn for it.
