Title: Elk hunting with grandfather
Post by: D-Rock425 on November 03, 2009, 09:48:36 AM: I'm going over elk hunting with my gradfather today he has a cow permit 342 I think. I'm going just to go I have filled my archery elk tag. I'm bringing my video gear to film him shoot one we hope. his camp has 3 cow tags this year. The guys in camp have been seeing elk everyday so far just no spikes yet. hopfully we can get it done and put a few on the ground.
I wanted to know could I carry my rifle along for bear hunting or would it cause a problem with the game warden if he checked us. I don't think it would look good from his point of view. I have no plans on shooting an elk with out a tag is there a law against having a weapon on person with out a elk tag during elk season?

The game wardens in Kittitas county are pretty laid back, or maybe that is only because I am a local! :chuckle: Just be truthful with them and you shouldn't have a problem.
