For the early Sept. rifle hunt & my brother got it. Is this a good tag? :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: Any pointers?
-
Good luck with the indians
-
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
-
Yeah he knew it was good, just a little sarcasm. We usually put in for partner apps but can't with only 1 permit.

congrats to your bother. there are now maybe 5 total bull S/P's in that area. When I started putting in for S/P's there were over 60. Thanks DFW, Indians, Government
-
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.

Places have been talked up for years by magazines, record books etc. Nothing new. :chuckle:
-
Yep, nobody knew about the Colockum until now. In modern rifle general season you usually have it all to yourself...
Shhhh...don't let anyone know.

That looks more like a reason to NOT apply to me, if I'd never been there.

Here is a bull that was shot in 2009 with the same tag 390 in. bull . :drool: :drool:
-
:yike: AWESOME

Holy crap some of you guys are waayyyyy too jumpy.
Pretty sure when the guy put all the :chuckle: in his post he was joking around about wondering if it was a good permit.
Relax, people. For hell's bells hunting season is a long ways out and at this rate it's going to be a long summer.

Yeah I was just being sarcastic, I knew that his brother knew it was a great tag or he wouldn't have put in for it, sorry no symbol for sarcasm, :chuckle: Best of luck again!!! Post pics if he nails one!!!

You have to post some scouting pics/stories for us unlucky guys.

I saw 1 really hug monster last year that I could have stuck with an arrow and several other 5X5's that could have went down as well.
I just couldn't get close to that elusive true spike :bash:

You have to watch out for hug monsters.

especially blonde ones ;)
good luck.... awesome tag .....lucky *censored*
-
I've never seen a hug monster...but I regularly see some huge bulls in the Colockum :drool:
Wish I had that tag. I'd probably have to take vacation from July to October.
-
there are some toads in there. we see them more often than not. just spend the time that you can and some that you cant. best of luck to you. we met the old man that drew last year. was out in 4 days with a toad. again, good luck and be patient
-
He's getting pretty jacked up & can't sleep at night.
-
I have the same issue and I didn't draw any tags!
-
Wait.... There are elk in the Colockum?!?!?!
How did you guys keep it quiet this long?
But seriously, what a terrific tag for him to draw. I wish him the best....... as long as he posts pics and a story.

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 hate Hug Monsters, they are in the blues too :o
-
Sounds like innernet suicide posting pictures. :chuckle: Oh man what a dumass he shot a dink, raghorn. heh heh. Maybe some scouting pictures. yeah that's it. Actually gonna try to video it.
-

Not as scary as Bfoots, but non-the-less still intimidating when you come around a corner and one is standing there with a red rocket...wanting a hug...
Stay outta the Blues gentlemen. :twocents:
-
Dang-I wish there was spell check on this thing. LOL
On a serious note, I did happen to see a huge hug monster but it was in the Bethel unit.
-
This just in, Hudge Hug monster spotted in the Nooksack, better stay away from there too :o
-
Spell check wouldn't have saved this thread. Hug is a real word so it would not have been caught.
....and now, the thread is ruined.... :sry:
-
thread wrecker, this had real potential when the "red rocket" came out :chuckle:
-
Not ruined, its just at the top of the heap for peopel to look at :chuckle: Another bump :chuckle:
-

Well, it's all fun and games until the red rocket comes out, isn't it.... :dunno:
-
the red rocket is sometimes the only indication they are there as they are masters at camo
-
I saw no mention of a "Red Rocket" in this thread, I just went through and skimmed the whole thing??
-
My feelings are officially hurt. I am going to crawl up in the fetal position and hide in my closet for a hour.
-
You guys crack me up. :chuckle: Look what I started. Sorry.
-
Oh all hail to the red rocket!
-
Hey slinger, I think the bull picture they posted is only 320, Im talking about the supposed 390 bull :chuckle: JK

Bump for the Red Rocket. :chuckle: Now if I only knew WTF it meant. :dunno:

Good luck! I can't wait to see pics

I can predict that any thread with the words "Colockum and bull" in the title will be completely derailed by page 5 if not sooner - it's like I'm Nostradamus or something :chuckle:
-
this is a good hunt no matter how many indians are over there lol.. it was my number one choice but i got drawn for my number two bethel... i have property by clockum and there are so many elk the indians couldnt even wipe them out!
-

Page 5? Heck half the time it doesn't make it past page 2 with out big foot being mentioned. :chuckle:
-
We have progressed though that to bigfoot with a "red rocket" :chuckle:

X2 dream tag!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Tag. Last time i hunted the clockum 06 had the archery permit..1 of 8. now it is screwed up..Any way.. Good luck. Back then i saw lots a nice bulls. I was about 4 miles from the road though. Miss that area. Hunt the south side of the freeway know.
-
How the hell did I miss this thread about Big Foot and Red Rocket?? Are you serious. Not only has big foot wiped out all our elk in the Colockum and I have to worry about my safety when in the Colockum, Now I have to worry about the red rocket coming out before I'm eaten. This is too much to handle. Man the BMM is sick. SICK I SAY!!!!
-
Shot him last year... with a camera :chuckle: he is still up there, good luck and he should be a monster now!

Yep it said Lyman Tavern on it..... LOL
-
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.
