Title: Late Archery Roll Call
Post by: Naches Sportsman on November 19, 2017, 06:48:13 PM
Good luck to all the archery hunters. I don't own a bow, but will be tagging along with folks 7 out of the first 8 days of late elk.

I'll be out near Willapa hills, good luck everyone. Don't forget your rain gear. Looks like Friday the sun might come out to play a little. If that doesn't change between now and then.

I will b in 278 starting Monday through the 8th with my recurve in hopes of getting a mule deer. I see a fire burned a bit of desert below upper goose lk which tends to concentrate us hunters an the deer which stinks. If u see a guy in his late 40s with a recurve, its me. Im friendly, and cooperative if you want to work together.

Scouted some at crab crk, but the deer r fewer an the walking more.

Hope to camp a bit at either Long lk or Susan lk during m.y hunt. :)

Gonna try to get our for a few days on the W side but I'm taking Mrs. Wapiti in for a MED procedure tomorrow morning early and need to take care of her for a bit till she's up, moving, and her normal ornery self.  If she's doing well in a handful of days, she'll force me to "get out", literally  :chuckle:

I’ll be the guy chopping down a Christmas tree.  They usually are big enough for a tree stand.   I hope no one is in it.

Not a lot of choices near Vancouver for weekend hunting, Ryderwood, Willapa Hills. Will probably ride around smoking cigars and drinking coffee, like the hardcore hunter I am!

Good luck to you and your friends!  This MV hunter won’t be in your spot this year, Tagged-out with the multi-season tag. And my other buddy filled his in September.

Ya I had this issue also. So I have the wife the owners manual to the DODGE and ask her to read it and if she ever seen the words Peterbilt or Kenworth to let me know. She's been rather quiet the last few years.

Just got back from late archery, spent a week up in the 346 and it was pretty dismal. We saw elk the first couple days and then it went very quiet.  had a great time with friends and family playing poker at night and laughing our butts off, great guys to hang with.  Can't wait till next year.  The guys I were with have been hunting that area for 30 years, they said this year was the worst late and early season ever!  Not sure whats going on but I hope the herd comes back.

I went out Thanksgiving weekend near naselle. I saw to two groups last light friday. In the morning I Got in the tracks of one of the groups, bumped them three times, then finally clover leafed in front when I had an idea of the trail they would use.  100 yds into the trail we run into each other :bash:. They made more progress then I appreciated. Called a cow in at the bottom of a finger but got antsy, and ran right into her. Lesson learned.... Again! I'll be hitting it again 7 days from tomorrow!!

I messed up, completely forgot to get a hold of you and plat.  Wanted to at least sit down for a beer and talk.  I have a cousin that may still be over there, he's in a red full size ford truck with his trailer at squaw rock camp ground, camped next to the road.  If your in the area maybe stop by, his name is bill.  He hasn't been seeing anything as well.

I'm looking for hunting partner in GMU 407. I'm hunting for deer and elk this year but I usually get the big game package with elk, deer, bear and cougar tags. I've only been hunting in Washington for about 4 years but have done a lot of hunting growing up in the Midwest. I put my time in every year but I am not used to hunting in this part of the country and am starting to get frustrated with my lack of success. Any guidance would be appreciated but more or less I would just like someone to hunt with even if we have to learn together! I live near Bellingham and have private land to hunt as well as I have been scouting on public land.

Hi Ben, I am in a similar boat but with less bow experience. I have access to some good lands for 2018 and a boat, if that is of interest.
PM sent, I would love to get in touch and plan for some hunts in the last few days of 2017.
thank you
