I hope he gets a dandy! My dad had this tag under the same scenario a couple years ago at the same age. I may have to start another thread to tell that story. My most favorite memory. Good luck too your Dad and soak it all up!!

That’s great!!Thank you, and thanks for all the comments. Please post a story on your dad, we'd love to hear it! And Karl, I might be willing to switch the Pandora from John Denver to 80's rock for you!!

I helped a elderly couple fill their tag last year. They had not seen an elk until I met them on yhe side of the road! Several hours later I got the older lady on her bull..Thanks man, hopefully we can seal the deal! Appreciate the offer!

It sounds like he is set on a cross bow or will be. If he ends up needing to use one, I have high end one with a scope ready to roll.hmm, that is a great offer! Let me check w the guys, appreciate it!

Elk are real quiet this morning, did see a small 6 and nice 5 point.
Dang it! We are heading over that direction tomorrow for my son’s youth cow hunt. Hopefully things change and they get fired back up soon. Good luck to you guys!

What vehicle are you in? And what size bull is he hoping to see?
We will be over tomorrow helping a good friend with his ML bull tag, I personally have never been in the unit so tomorrow will be getting familiar with the area. If I happen across an animal to your pops standards and close for a disabled shot, I'd love to contact you and let you know where and hopefully help out.

We could be in 3 different trucks, two have the elk art on the back windows. We are surprised how many hunters and bike riders are here this weekend, hopefully it will slow down Monday. We played with 2 bulls this morning but they were not interested in playing. The elk just aren’t acting like it’s sept 29th, but we will get it done. Thanks for the help guys. Looking forward to meeting plat.
If you run out of options hit me up. I will do my best to guide you via the internet..and yes Monday it will be a ghost town. Actually sunday afternoon all the wheelers pull out.

Post by: M_ray on October 02, 2018, 06:30:56 PM
Got very close to tagging out today, damn wind got us again. Still amazingly quiet for this time of year. Pm’s Read, thank you.
Just spent 4 days in the unit and the problem is guys pulling up to every landing, slamming their doors and then bugling!!! If they don’t get an immediate response they get in slam the door and take off??? The bulls aren’t dumb, I had better luck getting off the road and calling and I found that the bulls wouldn’t respond to me until after the 2nd or 3rd bugle. Guess they were waiting to see if I was going to get in a rig and slam the door? 😂
It’s not really quiet they are just smart, don’t over call and you will get an answer

I was up there as well and it was very quiet altogether. Heard 1 bugle and he had cows so he was off and away. Hit multiple areas away from the roads and light calling. Sat around just in case a creeper bull snuck in and nothing. Hit it from sun up to sun down, unusually quiet for this time of year.

True, we can’t get far off the road unfortunately, played a bull today but had to take my dad to the hospital, something was really wrong. We are here still and good news no stroke and clear chest. He has some kind of infection and they want him to stay, not sure how this hunt will continue. Hopefully back at it soon
Prayers sent, J. Hoping everything turns out fine. Suddenly an elk tag isn’t really that important.

Health first buddy . Get ahold of wdfw they should restore his points .

I second the idea of trying to get his points back or possibly trying to talk wdfw into giving him a raincheck for the same hunt next year due to health!!
He already hunted part of the season. Will almost guarantee they wont compensate him in any way.
Praying he gets well soon. Sounds like he was still able to have fun and feel the excitement of seeing a nice bull!
