I'm waiting for the late hunt as it is my favorite time to hunt. For some reason I think hunting in the snow feels more like I'm in tune with my surroundings. I went out for 2.5 weeks on the early hunt for deer and elk but nothing I wanted to shoot got in range.

still have mine, my nephew was killed and I missed most of the season for elk. went out on the last day and didn't see or hear anything. went out before going to my sister's and walked into a herd and was actually at full draw on a spike bull when the lead cow barked at me and took them out of range.

Still have mine.  Gmu 410.  Hunting private and public land on whidbey island.  Passed on some smaller bucks.  Had a nice 4x4 about 15 yards away but he saw me before I saw him.  I'm going to meet back up with him in November...HOPEFULLY.

Did not get out like I wanted in September.  I'll be out for late hunts 121, 124, and 127 primarily depending on how much time off I can get.
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: rosscrazyelk on September 27, 2009, 08:23:53 AM
I still got mine, I have gotten out a couple times but not as much as I would like. I like the late season better anyway.
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: Jeffrey on September 27, 2009, 06:02:46 PM
I do the late archery...leaving to set up on Nov. 7th and hunt thru the 21st. Hoping for a bit of rut action.

Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: dreamingbig on September 28, 2009, 07:22:30 AM
I still have my deer tag (multi-season tag included) but filled my archery elk tag on a nice fat cow.

Post by: Stomper on September 28, 2009, 07:45:22 AM
Filled my deer tag 4 days into the season.I got me a nice young forked horn.I probally would have passed him up if I wasn't going to hunt Montana in Nov.Two bear tags and a cougar tag left. :IBCOOL:
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: Todd_ID on September 28, 2009, 08:08:00 AM
I haven't been out in WA, yet, so I still have my tags left: 2 deer, elk, bear, cougar, turkey.  And unfortunately still have Idaho Panhandle A Elk tag left, too.

Still have all mine.

Late swakane (have multiseason deer)
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: DWP on September 28, 2009, 08:52:59 PM
All tags unfilled as of now(elk, deer, bear, cougar). I too really enjoy deer hunting later in the year, but elk in the rut is unbeatable(if you are holding a big bull permit).

Good luck in that late Swakane.......not like it used to be, there are to many damn people crammed into the unit for my liking, wich happens to be in my back yard!!  Hope for snow, as some of the guys wash out because they can't handle driving in that country without pooping their pants in fear of sliding off into god knows what, which is fine by me!!! :chuckle:

I've hunted there about 20 yrs.  Yes it was way crouded the last few years.  Hope loosing the "open for does" will improve the hunt.  I have seen some monster bucks if it has snow up high.  I LOVE hunting in snow.  Biggest deer I have harvested is ony a 3X3, but I keep trying!

Still have an elk tag - deer is done.

I spent too much time trying to shoot a "true" spike...

i gave up early WA for MT so i hope to get it done late
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: funkster on September 29, 2009, 08:35:08 AM
I still have all of mine. After 12 days of hard elk hunting ,I still have a tag. I Called in a solid 5x6 for my dad to 30 yards but he didn't have a shot.We got video of it and a few other close call ins. Learned a lot more about elk this year and can't wait to get back out there.  Saw lots of elk and passed on more than a few deer(didn't want to waste elk hunting to pack out a deer). This gives me an excuse to get back out in Nov anyways!

My buddy has the multi elk tag and I am going to try to get the newbie on some bulls(he is kind of a lazy hunter). It will be his first muzzy hunt. By the looks of the last day I spent hunting,I am saying that the rut should still be in full swing.

BTW,the question was asked about who See's cougars? My dad got to see one dart across the road at about 40 yards from him this year while on the mtn bike so they are out there!

Still got my deer and elk. Had no luck in the Nile but did have 3 hunters walk past me without seeing me. Didn't have the right tag though.  :chuckle:

I would love to get some suggestions on places to hunt late season otherwise I will be back in the Nile.

I still have all my tags deer, elk, bear and cat.  I hunt late season for my deer and hope something is going to happen with my Klickitat Meadows Spike or antlerless permit.  I still have all my hopes too :)

I still have my deer, bear and cougar tag.  I filled my archery elk tag in the first 10 minutes of the season with a nice cow! :IBCOOL:

I will be hunting 5 - 7 days in the late season to try and fill my deer tag with a nice buck!

I still got mine :'(. Going to try and get something out of either 460 or 407. I don't have any time to take off work so it will just be quick weekend hunts near the house

Post by: jimkrueg on October 19, 2009, 03:26:05 PM
I still have both of mine. Would it be worth driving to the Northeast from Tacoma to hunt deer and elk? I'm thinking about the week after Thanksgiving.

Post by: Watz_Hunt on October 20, 2009, 08:05:10 AM
I got back into the county 2 weeks ago and could only apply for the late archery season. I have no idea where to go but im looking at going over to the olympics somewheres.
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: upriver on October 20, 2009, 08:26:19 AM
I got both of mine. I'll hunt the 437 and 410. Might try to get out for westside elk if time permits.
Title: Re: Who still has there archery tag
Post by: Watz_Hunt on October 20, 2009, 09:34:28 AM

Watz Hunt-

It's not looking like I'll get out for elk other than maybe the damage hunt in Skagit. I used too much vaction early. Sorry for the delay in response- been on graveyards and not on computer much. I'm ready for the deer hunt in upper Skagit.

I still do, haven't seen a 160 plus whitetail yet within 60 yards or during the daylight. I saw a 170 about a week ago but it was at 6:05 pm, not even close to light out, sad part was he was less than 30 yards away  :bash: Give it time I will shoot something good. 5x minimum, I have confidence.  :chuckle:

I still have mine. Drew a late season archery deer permit this year for GMU 578 (1 of 100) :drool:. Season opens Nov. 20 and runs through Nov. 30, 3pt. min. I have talked to some land owners and they are seeing some legal bucks with swollen necks. The anticipation is killing me! :bash:

Still have both a deer and elk tags, looks like Bowkid and I should have Winston all to ourselves :chuckle:. Probably spend some time in Ryderwood and Willapa hills as well. Good luck to all :brew:
