Washington Elk hunters Sound off...

[NRA4LIFE]

East side rifle. Have never drawn a branched permit in 20+ years of applying, so it looks like another spike hunt.

I have a question regarding a unit for muzzy hunters on the westside . Please pm me and I give you the unit ? Not sure how else to do this with out putting the GMU on blast , not like it matters these with all the pressure.

 

[Jason277]

I guess there is not many Wa Westside guys on here. Trust me I don't blame you!

East side archery- 5 years no harvest though it seems this is the uncommon from what I hear. I do like calling a lot and should probably consider changing things up and do some more water sits, though calling is just so much fun. If someone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

 

[KNOPHISH]

East side rifle, but have Montana tags also so archery then probably a thanksgiving week hunt.

 

[crabcreekhunter]

East side muzzy here, drew a quality elk tag this year. Should be a fun hunt!!

 

[bjwiech]

How busy is the West side during elk muzzleloader season? I have family that live or there and have considered going out, but the time that would work best is around early October muzzleloader season.

 

[Jason277]

Depends on the unit .

 

[bjwiech]

Looking in OnX a lot of the private land is owned by paper mills or other errors product companies. Do they generally allow hunting? If so, where would one begin to ask?

 

[Jason277]

What unit are you looking at ?

 

[Raghornklr]

Please use PMs to answer that

Please use PMs to answer that

Yes just pm me

 

[bjwiech]

I can't. Still an FNG. I don't have any specific unit I am looking at right now though, just looking generally on the west side. I have relatives that live out in Port Angeles so loosely north or west of Olympic.

I just don't know how his much to factor in all that private forest land. Do some of those companies allow hunting and I can assume that some of the hunting pressure is on that private land, or are those opportunities limited or non-existent and I should assume that most pressure will be on the public land?

There is nothing like that in central MN, so I don't have any idea how to factor that in.

 

[Raghornklr]

Depends on the owner, some have permit access, others walk in only. A few are still wide open. Google each owners name and you should find your answers.

 

[Archer86]

Walk in only are you best option weeds out the casual hunters from what I had seen over there on the coast

 

[ridgefire]

Eastside muzzy for me. I have an archery tag in Idaho so I will be gone Sept 13th-29th.

 

[Jason277]

Westside muzzy this year , hoping for more vocal elk

 

[Hike2hunt]

wet side muzzy.

 

[Titanmoose]

West side liver and hunter, Modern for now, see If I snag a leftover multi season elk. I snag 2 weyerhauser permits for deer/elk/beer this year. however Got a good controlled elk hunt in idaho thru oct.

Might do some High Buck Deer/Bear hunt in sept, then will go to Idaho and hopefully smash a bull and If god loves me, I will draw a Mule deer buck tag for same area as my elk tag(left over) and double in idaho, then come home and get an elk..

I want my wife to have to buy 1 new giant freezer, when I call her on my drive home.
