I Drew East Weneha Muzzleloader Quality Elk
« on: June 13, 2019, 01:48:13 PM »
I have never hunted down here in 1009.  I would really like to chat with someone who knows 1009 for muzzleloader quality elk.

Is there anyone here who has had this tag before?

Thank you

A tag holder last year had a very detailed account of his hunt . Look it up and get in shape . Elk are on ridge tops right at sunrise but quickly hit the bottoms and hell holes once sun is up. Spike camp in to a bottom and hunt it for a couple days and move on is my advice .

Oh true that was mountain view?  it's the same type of hunt. Just change the trail names Haha.  I've hunted Dayton and west Weneha for years so I understand the terrain.

I do know of 2 spots on the mt view border that have had some very big bulls and were very close to the road. Always nice having options for a easy hunt in that country

Not sure where you live or what your expectations of the unit to be but my advise is to drive down to the Blues and go to one of the Misery Trailheads (named that for a reason) and take a look at what you are in for.. This will help you decide how to hunt it yourself or hire an outfitter with horses. Its intimidating country for most and horses are almost a must for getting a bull out of that country. Its not what it used to be but the bulls are there just how you personally can hunt it and actually enjoy your time is what you will have to figure out. Being in great shape is a must.. Congrats on the tag by the way..

Hunted with a buddy on this hunt last year. Very disappointing. Good luck.

Well he better bring someone to guard his goats while he's hunting so the wolves, cougars and bears that have dessimated that elk herd don't eat his goats. And hunt the west side of the unit so those goats don't mix in with the bighorn sheep in there...

Had the east wenaha archery tag last year. Gave a lot of info to the muzzleloader guys after my season was over and i would gladly share it with you also. This is a great tag. I saw several bulls in the 350 range and one that would go 370+. Focus on the positive feedback and ignore the negative stuff. Being in the best shape you can be in is great advice. Happy for you to have an opportunity at a difficult but also very rewarding tag!

Steep and deep but some nice bulls in there. If your willing to put in the miles in some of the roughest country in the state you will have a crack at a decent bull

Put in the effort and you will be rewarded. In my opinion get and packer and enjoy the hunt. It will be worth it.

Get MtnCook lined up to pack your bull out. It’s well worth the $$.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Pack it out yourself! Way more rewarding to do it on your own. Packed many a bull out of that unit.  It has taken many days on some hunts, but a great feeling that you accomplished it on your own.
