My dad put in for watershed the last 16 years, this year put in elsewhere. 17 points and still no draw. Guy I talked to last year said a lot of guys shot small branch bull. If you do get drawn hike way down in there!I was in the watershed last year with a buddy that drew (8points). Very demanding ground, but beautiful elk country. Sounds like your dad has the same luck as me, I shouldn't be but I'm surprised he didn't draw with that many points and tags given out. That sucks. I think guys shoot smaller bulls because of the terrain, after two days hiking in there they just want to get there bull and go home. I bet half of the guys don't even hunt it after the first weekend. We ended up with a nice bull, but we did see bigger ones.

Since that is open to mf, ml and archery at the same time can you exchange your tag for a modern tag? I wouldn't wanna hunt in there with a bow with rifle hunters running around.

I don't think you can. I stopped applying for the Shed when I started hunting archery for that reason. You are right, that's gonna be a tough hunt with a bow. Competeing with 44 other guys, all carrying rifles...not during the rut...can't spend the night in the unit...

Wrong section but a guy at work put in for the Dayton modern tag (general) on the suggestion of his cousin and drew it with 9pts. He has never even heard of the blues! He plans on hunting the first 4 days and then packing up and heading home so he can make it to elk camp in yakima!!!!!! :bash: :bash: :bash: I think the bulls will be safe! :chuckle::yike: :yike: :yike: WTF!

I drew the Wenaha buck tag. I have been working on getting my horse in shape since may 1st. should be a fun hunt. Horses and guns= good times.
Most guys struggle with that tag. I hope you do well! :tup:

If you have time time and the horses, you should be able to find a decent buck. I deer hunted in there a few years ago on foot. Didn't see a single deer. But then again, that was general season, plus my butt was so kicked after the first two days of hiking, I am not sure how effective we were by day 3. Horses would have helped a lot. I would try to locate my buck next month if I were you.

I talked with Jeremy last night about your tag. We need to take a trip up and do a little scouting. I had the tag in 2010. I can help you out.

Two of my friends drew the east wenaha muzzy bull tag as partners. They are stoked. They are both familiar with the area so they should do good. I am wishing them the best of luck.Do you mean the east muzzy quality tag?

Good luck and nice old narly bull. Congrats to your boy. Ran into a guy and his 12 year old son last weekend while scouting and his boy had drawn the Dayton bull tag. Gonna check with them on Saturday and see how they are coming along.

Maybe we'll see you down there. Heading down around 4pm today. I'll be in one of two vehicles, either a grey F-350 crew cab or a silver Jeep wrangler. No fires and low's in the upper 20's, gonna be a cold one.

I will answer for him as I was there......We found him. It was a great bull that he got. I am not going to guess at the score but it is a great bull. Here is a link to his story.

That's a great bull, but I don't think it's the one I heard about. The one I heard about was a non-typical.
