Post by: countywarrior on December 27, 2011, 10:10:43 PM: im gonna have to do some more research on the boundaries but does anyone have any input? i have been in alaska since july and missed all the hunts...sure would like to go out and at least have a chance at one this year. just not sure if it would be worth the haul out of yakima. what do you think?

Post by: bloodhound on December 27, 2011, 10:27:34 PM: i just went in and talked to pops about it, if there is some area to get into with animals ide love to not eat tag soup 13 years in a row! if we get some good answers and dad decides he wants to do the drive ( his gas money) maybe we can hook up and help each other out with what we are seeing. cover more ground that way.

Post by: bloodhound on December 28, 2011, 01:19:19 PM: i think he meant 1010
Title: Re: elk area 1011 worth the time?
Post by: Tony on December 28, 2011, 01:30:58 PM: The only place i see it listed is under a antlerless elk special draw and under the elk area map

2210 Marengo-Dayton C EF Oct. 29 ‑ Nov. 6 Antlerless GMU 163 & Elk Area 1011 40 309 / 4
Title: Re: elk area 1011 worth the time?
Post by: DoubleJ on December 28, 2011, 02:15:38 PM: OK, I see it now. 1010 and GMU 163 are open for archery antlerless Dec. 9 - Jan 20. Damn, I have a Westside tag
Title: Re: elk area 1011 worth the time?
Post by: DoubleJ on December 28, 2011, 02:16:44 PM: Huntwashingtonstate.com has GMU 163 listed as no public access though
Title: Re: elk area 1011 worth the time?
Post by: DoubleJ on December 28, 2011, 02:22:29 PM: I am confused though. Elk Area 1010 has no real area but arrows pointing to both Elk Areas 1011 and 1012. Does that mean 1010 is the combination of both areas?

3911 is the farmers fields in the colokum that bigfoot has chased all of the elk to.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on December 29, 2011, 12:02:41 PM: Watch out for Bfoot. They have eaten all the elk and deer, and they are starting to prey on whatever other mammals they can find. I saw one eating a pack of wolves the other day... :dunno:

Post by: BLUEBULLS on December 29, 2011, 12:38:50 PM: A quick answer to the subject question is "No"

not much huntable land and the elk get kicked off of it pretty quickly.

I guess it would be better than sitting on the couch though.
