Title: cowiche bull tag
Post by: Bwana Bob on July 18, 2022, 03:00:55 PM: I drew a Cowiche bull tag. I had this tag 10 years ago but haven't hunted that area since then. I don't know what a realistic expectation is now. I'd like to get some feed back on what type of bulls might be there now.
There are only 5 bull tags this year and I would love to hold out for a 300 inch plus bull. This will probably be my last bull tag in WA as I'll be 72 yrs old this July. Will do some scouting trips in late Aug and early Sept.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Good time to have a Rimrock or Cowiche tag? I hope so :)

I had the archery tag last year, shoot me a message if you want any pointers. Overall it’s a great unit, roads are good, lots of camping available
