Special permits!!!!!!!!!!

Results are on the internet. Hunting alkali for deer with a bow in the late season baby.

Kris

Congrats......Nadda here.

Peaches Ridge any bull muzzleloader tag for me!

Right on ape. That's a killer tag. Good luck to you.

Kris

Drew a Dayton A anterless Whitetail tag. Nothing better than a wheat fed deer.

OK - a moron statement here. I went to the wdfw site and don't see anything for my hunt...where do i look on their site to find if we drew or not???

I was drawn for the Nov 1-18 Chiwawa mule deer rifle tag. Should be a good hunt. Anyone know the area well or have any pointers. Thanks for your help.
My son was drawn for antlerless deer in Winthrop area and a Raymond cow tag.

Glowball - thanks for the info. We and a couple of youths got drawn for the moses coulee ML hunt.

which Raymond? are you from that area? I thought about putting my wife in for one of those, but the elk area seemed to be a little tight the highway when I read the description.

I put in for Margaret, again, and now have 5 points. One of these days....

you might be waiting a while for that margret tag. i now have 9 points and still nothing! every year i think this has to be the one and nodda. i'm not a big fan of this point system. a couple of hunting buddies have been putting in for the same tags for the same amount of years and they have had there names drawn 3 times. Makes me wonder if another point really does anything??

I put in for the Quilamine buck hunt and the Naneum doe tag.... Got the doe tag, good enough I guess. At least I know I'll be filling the tag this year.

Stadle,
It is the Raymond D tag. It was my sons 4th choice so I didn't think he would get it. I have hunted there in the past and it is mostly private property but some of the farmers are friendly and they gladly let you hunt their property.

Wamu - I know the area well, I grew up there and still hunt that way. Killed my share of Elk down there. I was just curious if you were from that way. Good luck to your son. If you spend some time scouting this summer you will find plenty of Elk around on land accessible to the public for hunting in that unit.

FM - I hear ya, but then again, I got plenty of time. Why don't you put in for a group hunt with your buddies? That is how my brother and I do it. If one is drawn everyone in the group gets a tag. Points are averaged.

I drew a Rimrock any bull tag (Muzzleloader) and I also drew a Mt. Spokane B MOOSE tag (antlerless only).

I was dancing quite a while last night.

AND FOR THE RECORD: I am gratefully accepting any personal messages regarding where to hunt either of these units. The Moose tag means I'll be making some long scouting drives from Puget Sound. Anyone willing to help with info on either area would e appreciated.

YAAAAA HOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I will pm you some info on the rimrock tag. Been hunting that area for many moons.

Kris

Woohoo,
Buddy, brother, and I all got drawn for cow ML tags in Umtanum, first year of ML for all of us. And if the buddy had not screwed up we all would have gotten ML doe tags in Cowiche, but he screwed up on the drawing and only got the elk permit, dumba$$. Oh well we still have the possibility of 3 cows and 2 does, plus other legal critters.

Looking forward to the first week in Oct.

Nada for me! That's ok though, as I don't have much time off as most of it will be spent in Montana this year.

Great job Kris!!!!!

Sure rub it in Kyle.

Actually I'm pretty excited to see what you boys bring back from over there this year. I'll be putting in next year.

By the way I'm working on my buddy to get you another option to hunt over there. Friends of his have several thousand acres not far from your home away from home. He thinks they have some people coming over, but not sure when they'll be there. I'll let ya know.

Kris

Glowball,

Thanks so much for the PM. I don't mind scouting - I'm sure I'll spend every spare weekend scouting Rimrock or for my moose hunt. But, it's always nice to start with some info.

I even got some good info coming on my moose hunt from a guy who drew the same tag three years ago.

I do apprecaite it!!

my dad and uncle drew the Toutle Archery tags!! We have allready started scouting. seen over 200 elk but all were on the wrong side of the road and in the Loowit.

Kris

Nada for me too. I can't complain though, I drew cow tags the past two years and a doe tag two years ago. Horns are cool to look at but I'm purely a meat hunter.

Hey Fisherdan, how many points did you have for the moose? I've got 4 now but I think it will take probably 10 or more to get my drawing entries high enough.

Well I didn't draw one myself, but of the 8 Ryderwood cow tags issued, 2 of them went to our hunting party from Port Orchard. If we can toss in a bull or two it should be full freezers for all 6 of us!

Only pulled a naneum doe tag too. Unfortunately, like an idiot, I didn't mean to apply for that one. I did it on line and was sure I put in for a point in my attempt to get a desert tag. I only had 2 points so I really don't care. Since I have it now, and my time is limited, I might just decide to go do a meat hunt. I have never even been there, so, Curtis or anyone else, any starting points? Thanks.

shoot me an email at ctwiggs1@yahoo.com.. I'll be pulling out my maps in the next week and would be more than happy to send you in the right direction, plenty of people have done the same for me on this board

The Naneum doe tag is kinda a sure thing for me... Last year I saw at least 60-70 does on the first day. The only problem is that we saw about 60-70 deer total on the first day... meaning i cant get a buck out of that unit for the life of me.

Oh well, I may be going to another area the second weekend so I'm thinking about letting my little brother start his hunting career with a bang this year with a doe tag

Anywho, send me an email and I'll be sure to get back to you with some pretty good areas to check out.

Curtis

49 degrees N moose: nada
rimrock archery bull: zilch
umtanum sheep: nuthin' doin'
huckleberry doe tag: got it

not terribly difficult to draw one of these, but it looks like i'll be able to fill the freezer. btw: does anyone know if the clockum is open to cows for the archery gen. season??


good luck all
willy

No...it is open for Spike Only.
