Post by: jackelope on April 14, 2010, 03:25:35 PM: Judging by your past posts you are a disabled hunter so will that limit where you can go or what kind of country you can access?

Post by: heavy hauler on April 14, 2010, 05:20:27 PM: for sure we will need to know: what weapon type,rocky mountain or roosevelt,state record potential or solid 6x6 and how many points do you have?

Post by: benhuntin on April 14, 2010, 06:33:52 PM: unless you have a bunch of points you aint gonna draw a good tag. unless you are lucky but you can put in for disabled, and big bull and take the better tag. The new regs are out take a look at the odds good luck. I here there are some good bulls in Hanford. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: bobcat on April 14, 2010, 07:21:21 PM: Well since you can only apply for two Quality hunts, and it sounds like you don't have the maximum number of points possible, I would suggest applying for two hunts that have the highest number of permits available, that are rut hunts. Just looking at the new regulations, I would say go for Goose Prairie and Observatory bull elk archery permits. If you draw Peaches Ridge you might be disappointed this year because it is now open for the general archery elk season, which it never has been before, and it will be crowded. Goose Prairie and Observatory have relatively high numbers of permits and low numbers of applicants.

Post by: bobcat on April 14, 2010, 07:41:27 PM: They changed Bumping and Nile from antlerless and spike to spike only, and to make up for that, they have opened Little Naches (which is part of Peaches Ridge) to the general archery elk season, for both cows and spikes. A lot of people will be moving from Bumping/Nile to Little Naches.

Post by: dreamingbig on April 15, 2010, 08:33:57 PM: If you can't hike more than 3 or 4 miles from the road then I probably wouldn't put in for Bumping as access is a bit tough.
