Drew 1 of 2 Quality archery tags for the Nooksack this year with 3 points, yes that is only 3 points for you Tenino guys starting rumors that I was turning in poachers and had "poacher" points , and If you dont beleive me come to my house and I will show you my draw results online that show the "points used" and it states 3 , just pure luck of the draw is all it was and I am most humbled by the opportunity to spend time in that unit hunting some nice bulls. Now its time to get seriouse and have been spending alot more time hiking with my pack and a bag of 40 pound pellets inside. Mountain biked 10 miles today looking for critters . I am looking forward to this hunt as I feel this is more of an oil hunt than just another elk tag for me. Absolutely stoaked at the opportunity. Thanks to the people that have offered to help, it is more than appreciated , its not to often a guy in washington gets an opportunity to hunt 2 quality bull tags in 3 yeras let alone 1. Nevertheless, this is just another chapter in Bucklucky's Hunting adventures as I set out to try and notch my tag on a fine bull in september!
-
:tup: kill a giant!
-
Right on Charlie :tup:
Good Luck :archery_smiley:
-
Congrats Charlie!
A friend of mine in Rainier, his wife drew a Nutsack rifle bull tag.
-
Congratulations!! You may want to buy at least one raffle ticket too! :tup:
-
Congrats Chaz!! Must be sumpthin in the water out there. I've never seen guys accuse others of bustin locks, then turn around a week later ,and retrive their animals with quad in the same said area??? Jealousy is a b%tch, I got faith in ya brother, you'll do that tag justice. You still make me sick though... grin.....
-
And for the record, you don't have too show anybody your points, phuck em!!
-
Congrats again Charlie! It's going to be one hell of a hunt, and it's awesome there are some great guys on here to locate the big boys for you! Can't wait until September to read the story and see some pictures!
-
Ya I have no idea who started it but sounds like it got around to the whole fricken town that Im a nark and turning people in for poacher points :chuckle: Its no different than a freind of mine shooting a dandy bull and then having some guy accusing him of killing it on the mine , which absolutely wasnt the case. That kind of crap is just dumb and inconsiderate of others.
Thanks Alan, Im really looking forward to it!!
-
Don't know anything about the drama down there, and I'm really not trying to get this thread off topic, but if a guy is in the wrong and gets turned in, good! People should give guys who turn in poachers a pat on the back. :dunno:
-
You already the best guide for that unit. BH45 knows the elk better than anyone out there. Good luck and congrats.
-
Charlie, don't pay any attention to those local punks, they are jealous and not worth your time worrying about it. By the way, my friend's wife drew her Nutsack rifle bull tag on her first try. It must be rigged!
-
:yike: This draw system is RIGGED!!! I hate you! ;)
-
Man... I can't decide if this is right or not... Happy for you and hating you at the same time!
-
Kill a Monster Charlie. Finally let the cat out of the bag. I know if anyone will do this tag justice you will.
-
My good friend drew the other archery tag and he is pretty stoked about it, he has been waiting quite a few years for the opportunity to hunt big bulls. I'm planning on spending a week of his hunt with him, so maybe we will run up to you up there Charlie, glad to hear that he will be sharing the woods with such a good guy, congrats to you on the tag. :chuckle:
-
You took my tag! :chuckle: Thatz Awesome man Gud showing for sure. Hope one of those knarly beasts end up n ur shop.
-
Why cant people just be happy for one another? Somethin in the water in Tenino that makes people jealous or what?!? I would be ashamed! Dont listen to the haters. Its small town BS! Congrats on the draw.
-
congrats
-
Great tag to draw! Good luck on your hunt!!
-
You already the best guide for that unit. BH45 knows the elk better than anyone out there. Good luck and congrats.
WWWWWWO... hey now please DO NOT say Bowhunter45 knows anything .... I have taken my share of bulls from my back yard BUT we do not like sharing our hunting grounds with anyone ... And I am sure not on here to tell everyone my favorite hunting spots .....As far as Buckly goes I wish him all the luck in the world on getting the biggest and badest bull he can come with .....Chances are so slim on gettin this tag that I cant believe anyone would want to even put in for it... so do not use my name without asking me 1st about it !!!!!!!!! :yike: :bdid:
-
It was meant only as a compliment
-

yeah this is Bullsheet ... the guys that usually whin about things like this are the ones who do not kill sheet ... pure jealousy ....everything I have on my walls came from this unit ..elk deer bear and one big a$$ cougar ..not from whinning about it but GETTIN AFTER IT ...SO those who want to dream get off your a$$ and get after it...everyone has a chance to produce but some just like sitting on the porch !!! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :rolleyes:
-
Man, you must be the best!
Congrats Charlie. Stick a toad! :tup:
-
Holy cow John, tell us how you really feel :chuckle:
And my rant about the Tenino guys and rumors wasnt intended for forum members from Teninoand surrounding areas but the lurkers that like watching this site that dont contribute :tup:
And thanks guys I appreciate it! Hopefully I have enough luck and elk sence to get it done this year! I cant beleive its less than 2 months away!!
-
i think its bs you got that tag ;) jk grats again lucky dog
-
Congrats Charlie! Wow, cool tag to have, Hope you kill a monster!
-
Charlie looks like you got guys that are both sides of the fence following this one. Glad you got drawn and my hopes are that you get a whopper. This is one hunt that will be fun to follow.
-
Charlie tell me who those local boys are (I probably know some of them) and I'll smack those b!tches around!
-
congrats on a great tag.

Congrats on the BIG BULL TAG!! You are gonna have a blast. Bring along a video camera. If you don't your gonna wish you would have.
-
Thanks guys!! I bought a HD canon video camera this year just for packing around during early september hunts. There has been so many times I wished I would have had a camera and didnt. Not this year!!
-
Charlie, what HD Canon did you get?
-
Its the Vixia HF 10.
-
Man, you must be the best!
Congrats Charlie. Stick a toad! :tup:
My thoughts exactly.Good luck Charlie
-
Its the Vixia HF 10.
Sweet!
-
Congrats Charlie! Not too many get once in a lifetime draws every 3 years. I do want to see if you can top that Colockum bull from 08, though.
-
Hope you get a good one. I put in for it this year and didn't draw with 2 points but my husband did get a cow tag for the Winston unit with two buddies. We are going to have a fun camp this year. A friend of ours took a 7x7 in 2010 with a bow in the Nooksack unit! Good luck!

Where is your friend from....just asking ...just want to know how many of them were from other places than this area ... :tup:
-
I think the locals are happy for you but also pissed cause they wish they could draw 2 OIL tags in 3 years, well basically OIL tags.. Im pumped for you, like i told you before dont put to much pressure on yourself with this tag, just enjoy the country up there and enjoy every minute of it cause you have already killed as big as bull as you will probably get in this state.. I would go into this hunt with expectation of having a awesome hunt with lots of action.. I wouldnt have expecations with score of a bull just shoot the one that makes you go yup theres my bull... Take lots of video of your scouting trips, i cant wait to see.. Elkpiss..
-
Id like some MASS this time :chuckle:
Thanks Elkpiss, Im just looking forward to the experiance. If I kill a bull, well that just tops it off. Its not about the kill but the whole experiance. I dont take this stuff for granted and intend on putting 110% into this hunt. I will go till my legs wont go no more and then some. I just hope it doesnt rain :chuckle:
-
If Mass is what you wanted you should have put in for the Toutle tag. :rolleyes: Not sure what your camping plans were Charlie but the rumor I hear is that there's no more free camping at "Horsecamp: Apparently ya gotta have a Discover pass now. :dunno:
-
He's from down here and he is pumped!
-
I need to get my discover pass anyway so that shouldnt be a problem, thanks for the info Jim!
-
-I havnt heard any of those rumers around but you know how it goes when you have success around here! Just wait till you get another big one down! :chuckle: Get'er on film so we can watch it over Beers! :brew:
-
Right on! Looking forward to hearing the story and seeing the pics.
You put eyes on anything during your bike rides worth chasing yet?
-
Just got back from a 10 mile bike ride this evening, nothing worth mentioning.
-
I think you need to change your name to either taglucky or drawlucky :chuckle:

-
You might find a bull or two up there. Good luck. :tup:
-
Well Charlie its called the Nark Tag!!! Thats what everyone said about me when I got it, I say Fukem I bought point for 8 years to get that tag, just like everyone else. Your just lucky you dont live in the unit because they tend to drag your name threw the mud even more then, just a lot of jealous people...... You will kill a beautiful bull no doubt!!!!
-
Ya I have no idea who started it but sounds like it got around to the whole fricken town that Im a nark and turning people in for poacher points :chuckle:
Where there's smoke, there's fire. :dunno:
:chuckle:
Seriously.....I don't know how I missed this post. Been waiting for you to make it puclic knowledge. Congrats on a great tag.
-
I was wondering how long you were gonna wait to tell. Again, congrats on drawing. You lucky sob :chuckle:
-
Oops. I meant public knowledge. :chuckle:

You might be on to something since all I've seen on my T-Cams have been a couple rag horns & a ton of Bears. :dunno:
-
Yeah seems like the bear population has exploded ...man I wonder where all these up river boys go bear huntin ? seen any big ones ? black brown or cinnamon ones ?
-

ACtually it kind of is, allot of pressure and Scott can attest to that!

Thanks Ric, I hope we do too!! Good luck on that Toutle tag!!
-
Haha... funny. Good luck and congrats on the tag.

Nice bull. What's the story behind the blacked out background?
-
Here you go.
Just took the truck out of the picture. When I did the field pics I could never get any good shots of the antlers since I was by myself with no tri-pod.

That makes WAY more sense now. I would do the same thing. I was thinking that you didn't want to show the scenery. I guess that's what you were doing. Lol
-
This is where my bull was standing when I called him in , it does not look very steep in the picture, he was pretty close to a 45 degree angle for the shot. He was actually behind that bush in the middle of the picture where the hill drops off even more, when he cleared that bush he got an arrow right in the boiler room!!

Hey Man thats great. Good for you the nooksask heard has been rising in the health department the last few years . I apllied for the tag but we cant all win . it should be a great hunt!

Should be a fun hunt for you. I've been up there 2-3 times a week the last couple weeks and I've seen a couple real heavy bulls( I know they look heavier in velvet). 110 has a couple bruisers, caught a glimpse of a REAL heavy bull further up in the big timber. Hope you kill a monster.(or a spike saw those too) Good luck
-
