Title: Only 1 Colockum bull tag
Post by: KNOPHISH on June 15, 2011, 07:19:00 AM
For the early Sept. rifle hunt & my brother got it. Is this a good tag?  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: Any pointers?

First off if he doesn't know that this is a good tag then why did he put in for it. But guessing he already knew this was a great tag. Only 1 tag given out to a rifle hunter during the rut time, so yeah its a good tag. But shed crazy is right the clockum herd has taken a hit by the indians. But there are some quality bulls in that unit. Will just need to find em, but shouldn't be too hard during the rut. I will be in the vicinity of that hunt looking for my cow that I got drawn for  :IBCOOL: Good luck and congrats to your brother

Have your brother scout it and then get ahold of me if he isn't seeing what he wants.  I have been drooling for that tag. It's the Golden Ticket!  I guess I could give my knowledge to one other. Only if he keeps it to himself.  I live near the Naneum Ridege State Forest and spend A LOT of time in it. I know where the Royals hang. Two different locations for sure. He must be in GREAT shape, and have a lot of patience. I am fortunate though. I did get drawn for a Desert Deer tag. Another Golden Ticket.  :)

He should have fun. Awesome tag. Here is a Colockum bull he can dream about tell the  hunt starts.

Spend time scouting and get away from the roads. The Indians rarely travel far from their trucks to shoot. Look at the remote steep and nasty areas.

Be prepared for a long packout

That is a great tag

Congrats

You guys are idiots"for the most part" because you talk so much and publicize the few good tags in this state we get guys who don't even know what there putting in for drawing these tags. This state is going to get completely ruined by people talking so damn much.

Wish I had that tag.  I'd probably have to take vacation from July to October.

There are no Hug Monsters in the Colockum.  Those are just decoys that the local guys from Ellensburg put out to scare the hunters that travel there to hunt their elk.   Those locals are very protective of "their" elk...  :twocents:

I just got a report from the DFW that all elk, and by that I mean every single one in the Colockum is gone!  They made a mass migration to the Hanford area.  They are planning to eat the radioactive grass down there and become the most productive herd of elk in the continental U.S.   :sry:  Sorry you might as well give me your brothers tag.
