Pretty Crazy. I'm from Mason County as well and my 11 year old son also drew this tag.That is crazy. 2 of the 4 tags are kids and from Shelton 😳

It's a whole different subject but very interesting how the points system works. I have been putting in for that tag for years, 14 points this year with no success. I'm guessing the kids couldn't have had to many points based on their age. I'm happy for them. It should be a great hunt. The opportunity to hunt elk in the rut with a rifle should be a great experience.

Huge congrats on an opportunity to hunt roosevelt elk in the heat of the rut. Drawing the Quinaut rut tag last season turned out to be my best elk hunt ever, and i don't think it can be topped.
Best of luck, and please keep us connected if you can. :tup:

Clearwater is definitely a good unit to focus on. There are big bulls there and lots of accessible land. If you look at the Goodman or the Dickey, a lot of the land is owned by Rayonier Timber and requires an access permit. Seems like there was a guy on here last year or the year before that had the tag and shot a great bull. You might do a search and see if you can contact him.

Should be a fun hunt either way! I have had the privilege of drawing 2 quality bull tags during the rut and it's ALWAYS a blast!
I like our point system, but it sure is weird sometimes. I swear it has a memory! I have 23 years of applying and he is 11 and has already drawn as many tags as me. Lol

What a cool experience, definitely getting my daughter and I even more excited than we already were. Glad to hear it sounds like I'm on the right track of where I'm wanting to concentrate most of my efforts. Definitely am still open to all suggestions though! It is interesting how the draws work out sometimes. I know a few people with 20+ points who have never never drawn. I'm definitely not going to complain how it worked out this year though.
