Hunting Washington Forum

Having fun in Wyoming.

Indeed to move there faster.🤣

Nice bucks dvolmer.👍

Yea, me and my son and son inlaw are over here also. 
How are you guys doing?
I was a minute too late on a bull my son located yesterday.  Only seen 2 cows and heard one grunting in the brush today.

I think you talked to my buddy yesterday.
We went to a different area today and where a few minutes to late for a bull
They aren't moving much right now and not in very responsive to calls.
I keep telling him November is better lol

I went to a couple places by the house and got up in elevation from 2,600' to 3,000" - 4,000' and the deer seem to be healthy and doing well

I bet the mountain bucks are doing a little better because of the lack of “congestion” and possibly cooler temps and less bugs

Yeah they seem to be much better. Lotta creeks and moving water compared to low land deer getting stagnant ponds and seeps . I know a guy in Winchester, Idaho which is 4,000’ said they found a ton of dead deer which he said was odd for ehd outbreak.

Agreed, also sad to hear about the Winchester area. Never have hunted it but my sons buddy has put time in there(10-15 years ago) has some nice pictures of previous hunts.

My 2021 ram was plugged in the horn. I’m not sure if they changed their method but I was under the impression the horn is where it goes.

Call me crazy but I have genuinely considered bringing someone with more knowledge than myself into this area to hunt with to learn a thing or too from, at the cost of showing the location I want to get this bull that bad I’m not that desperate yet lol!
I really appreciate all the replies, and that’s a good point that the elk have already faced some immense pressure. I’m hoping the distance required and intense terrain/elevation deterred a lot of hunters from this spot, I felt like a crazy person the first time I headed in solely on hopes and dreams and thinking it looked good on OnX, but it panned out pretty well
