Post by: bobcat on December 04, 2009, 06:06:52 PM: Going for elk in the morning, not sure where yet. Either Lincoln (501) or Skookumchuck (667.) Don't really expect to see anything though.

Post by: fishcrazy on December 04, 2009, 08:20:11 PM: Going to go out and check some cams and put a few more up. I will be dragging the powder pole around just incase I see a buck.

If Eric and the boys can't find a deer tell them they can always try fishing :dunno: After all how many deer can you guys eat in one year? :P
Good luck!!

Mark hunting over on the Raymond side of hwy 105. Hopefully a nice bull or a buck. Friend saw a nice three point tonight crossing from the bay side of 105 towards some Ranier property, but I think the Ranier property is leased out to other hunters

We have some humpy's still in the freezer:). Brandon is VERY frustrated with the blacktail...VERY!!
Are you serious..we could probably eat 4 deer a year!! lol. With Eric being laid off, that is all we have been eating. We need to shoot some grouse, it's the closest thing to chicken that I will be eating for a LONG time...unless work gets better. :'(

Post by: Forrestrover on December 04, 2009, 10:25:01 PM: Wish I had more time! I'll be heading out for elk soon, but probably for just a day hunt. :(
Title: Re: Anyone still hunting ??
Post by: Schmalzfam on December 04, 2009, 10:32:38 PM: I hope you get something. When you hunt hard, you appreciate any animal you see or even come close to.

It should pick up for him in about a month. I think Shell is going to take about 50 guys the first part of the year. I understand what you guys are going through. We have a baby due Jan 12th and that's about the time the Job I'm on is going to finish up.

Post by: DBake on December 05, 2009, 07:52:26 PM: Hunted this past week in 501. Jumped a few bucks in the repod, seen a few driving in and out during before/after shooting hours, seen sign here and there but nothing really positive hunting up high between 1500-2000 feet.

Post by: medic6 on December 06, 2009, 12:40:46 PM: just waiting for archery to finish up so I can fill the last cow tag. I chose to wait until the archery folks moved on. I shall write a great story when my season finishes on the 15 of Dec or when we drop our last elk. Man I have seen so many elk hunting in the willipa hills, have also talked to a lot of very helpful people while camping and hunting. ;)
Title: Re: Anyone still hunting ??
Post by: Schmalzfam on December 06, 2009, 02:22:46 PM: We went out this morning. Got up early and went to walk in...HOLY SMOKES!!!!! Change of plans for the area. We should've just yelled " Hey Deer..here we come" never mind the loud a$$ people walking up this road covered in frozen leaves! They are Not here to shoot you:)
We had to go to another spot and walk roads that weren't covered in frozen leaves!!! Didn't see any deer. But, it wasn't for lack of effort.
Title: Re: Anyone still hunting ??
Post by: washelkhntr on December 06, 2009, 02:26:12 PM: I went and sat in my secret spot freezing my butt off..... I called it quits at noon. And again, not one single deer. :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
