Was at grizzly archery in Yakima today and two others that were in their got drawn for the same area, was told they gave out 97 tags in that area this year... not feeling so lucky anymore
-
Rim Rock is a huge unit, no worries, just do your homework :tup:
-
They give out a pretty good amount of tags like that every year. It's a big unit and if you hunt hard you have a solid chance at getting a bull. Also hope the weather cools off for the hunt :yike: I have been in there when it was hot and the hunt is not as good.
-
Yeah but atleast you could shoot a cow, spike, or branched bull. :tup: your odds increased of harvesting a elk. :tup:
-
That's for sure! I ended up punching a cow and ate my bull tag :'( Way to hot of year when I had it last.
One of these years I am going to kill a elk with horns on it's head :chuckle:

Like the way you think MLBowhunting its food in the freezer!
-
I got cams set up there and plan on making a trip next week to check them and put out some bait, I will let you know if there is any thing on the cams :tup:
-
The area is super steep but a blast to hunt. I got that tag as well. just start scouting you'll be fine. tons of elk there. good luck. I drive a black 06 gmc duramax if you see it say hi.
-
A good bugle helps....tons of people as open for cow as well.
Elk talk at night...get it?

And the "king" (bull with a crown on each side) has a son. There is a pic of a single beam elk with a crown on each side, that's it. no eye guard, no fork, main beam and 3 point crown on either side :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike:

great looking bulls !! !

I ended up Shooting a cow :) .. Only had 4 days to hunt.. it wasnt cold enough to get bulls talking, but we called in a cow
-
Sorry you couldn't hunt longer, and the weather wasn't better for hunting. Congrats. on getting the cow. Hope you had fun on the hunt.
-
You see any bulls Terry?
-
No but we called one in reight at dark... too dark to see him.. the next day I want to the same spot my buddy started calling (about 100 yrds down wind from me) around 7 pm had a cow run out around 7:15 she ran past all my shooting lanes so i had to stand up and move about 20 ft, let out a cow call and she stopped dead in her tracks... well untill i shot she ran about 50 more yards.. took us a bit to find her but i circled her a few times lol
