Washington Elk hunters Sound off...

[Jason277]

Hello fellow Washington elk hunters. As the summer begins and the fall quickly approaches I just wanted to see what other guys are doing this year. Are you an archery guy, muzzy, modern firearm? Do you hunt the Wet side or the Dry side? Do you call or roll in silent ? A western guy here. I've got one elk under my belt and hoping for more in the future...... Thanks, Jason

Moved away from WA to WY this year after living there for 7 years. Never hunted a day in WA in all those years and will just let my points go. Total waste of time, literally. Too many better options to spend any days hunting there.

Dry side for me. I try not to hunt it though. It’s only if I don’t draw in another state. I have struck out so far this year so…

I always hunt deer on the dry side, because I’m lucky to have links to productive private land.

Some of other days fawn protection work.

Dry side - modern here. Thinking about switching to muzzle loader to get away from some of the pumpkin patch.

Wishful thinking it’s been a zoo the last couple years and now with 1x scope I’m betting it gets worse.

I work at one of the wildlife areas. Yes there are more muzzle hunters than there used to be but modern is still worse, by far. An hour before shooting light the green dot roads look like a freeway with all the headlights.
I'm changing areas this year. Don't know if it will make a difference or not but what I've been doing the last few years hasn't worked so it's worth a try.

I pulled a colockum quality archery tag this year! I’ll be run and gunning, happy to call or happy to stalk if I need to. I’m going to be looking for a big mature bull that gets me excited. I’ve taken a number of elk in western Wa over the years with my bow both bulls and cows, first east side tag for me. I moved to Idaho 3 years ago so I’ve been hunting over over here and in Wyoming last year. Good luck all

Easy with that talk… you’re going to turn the attention of the hoards of non residents to start migrating that way

First time giving elk hunting a try in WA -- wet side firearm. Likely Olympic Peninsula -- maybe a tad less busy than Seattle side of the sound?

 

[StuckoYota99]

Is archery hunting elk on the west side doable? The information is pretty limited especially up in 407.

 

[Invisiblecreek]

East side muzzy for me as I will be in idaho chasing bulls with stick and string during the wa archery hunts! Will be calling and racking in bugling bulls In October! Can’t beat it

Can’t wait for the fall! Good luck to everyone
