Please help me decide, I will have 15 points next year, 5 for multi season elk. If i was to draw the multi tag which do you guys think would be the best tag to put in for? I'm caught between Archery dayton, wenaha east or west, or Muzzle dayton, or wenaha east or west?? I see the advantages of both but just can't seen to decide what to put first, second, third and fourth on the choice card. I know it's wayyy to early to think about draws but my stomach hurts everytime i think about that time of year. Thanks for any advise.

all are fairly equal hunts, just personnel preference.
also, I know a lot of guys that will have 13-15 pts....still tough to draw.
good luck!

They seem pretty equal, the lure of being in the woods in September is immense. Having a weapon that can shoot 150yrd in early October is pretty inticing also, i went last year with a buddy who had the muzzle wenaha west tag. We hunted pretty hard and had lots of chances at rag horns but only saw 1 big bull, prob around 360 to 370 but the wind was kicking our ass. He ended up with tag soup,I know it may still be years away before i draw but i still drives me nuts on what to put first, second etc.

I wouldnt burn my points on the Blues if I were you ;)
-
--The difference in the guys having 15 Bonus points to the guys with 13 is greater then a guy with 7 points to the guy with 0 points so the guys at the top are starting to pull away from the pack alittle! I really hope there the ones that pull the premiere tags!! Im in the same boat as you trophyhunt, but vacation wise im still one year out till I can start to apply again :bash: I hope I dont draw multi season next year!
-
Your giving me hope on those mathematical numbers...I take it when you say premiere tags you are talking about the archery one? I think next year they are going to let us partner up on the multi season tags, so maby they will also give us the option to pick ghost points also. Are you the one who has hunted in the blues before with the big bull permit w archery??

:yeah: ;)

Right......if we could only convince a few hundred others to do that. (i say hundred because i don't care about the rifle tag).
-
If I could convince a few hundred guys of that, I might be able to reduce the campers in the blues by half right now... :chuckle:

Fast forward to 7 years later and still waiting to draw. Too funny, thought when I had 15 points I was good to go!!! Lol right! Well, maybe the magic number is 21?? All these years later and I still have a hard time deciding, good luck this year guys!

Which weapon did you put in for?

So which did you choose? Good luck! 21 years is a long time to wait, hope you get your tag!

I chose muzzy, and I stuck with the blues. I'm hoping some of the typical blues hunters will apply for the clockum and improve the odds a tiny bit? Who knows, excited for the results but also realize it's very tough to draw.
-
Good luck :tup:

Good luck :tup:
thanks Tim! I need it!
-
ya good luck! my buddy was just telling me he has a good chance at drawing a deer tag this year, of course I had to ask why. he said because he finally had more than the average points it took to draw last year.didn't have the heart to tell him I have 6 more points than him.

I kinda hate you :chuckle:
I have 18 this year and we are competing! I thought I was towards the top.
Best of luck TrophyHunt.

:chuckle: I'd say you have almost the same odds as me, almost. Good luck!!!

Good luck to everyone applying down there. It's truly an OIL opportunity for elk. Super hard to beat hunting in the rut down there. I doubt I ever hunt it again in my life unless I buy the gov tag or win a raffle tag.

I remember many months ago I had max points and Drew weneha west, then the devil took it away from me due to rumors of a fire :rolleyes:
I sure hope that wasn't my last chance

Yes, I got my points back, but every time I read a post about the weneha, I cry like a grown man.

One of my biggest fears when I put in for these permits is a fire closure. You'll score it again! :tup:

This is your year I can feel it!

Even with 20 pts you're still looking at approx. 12% chance of drawing a blues archery tag. :bash:

I was hoping the clockum would draw some guys away, that would be a great tag! You will draw it, I can feel it!

Hate to spoil your party, but I'm taking one of your blues tags away this year 8).................. :chuckle:

I'll be happy for you if you draw, but happier if we both do 👍. I only have 17 points though.

You guys should know June 10. That's my prediction. I have been wrong every year.
