E. Washington Elk

Recommended Posts

They do things differently up here- you buy a tag, you're good to go. 

Select the weapon, Eastern or Western, and pick what you're hunting in that unit and .. that's about it. Same with deer- but I'll do what I did last year and smack one from the treestand in the backyard. 

Doing Eastern this year. Kid got a Tacoma so we're taking that and the F250 and overlanding through the units we're going to hunt. Lots of boots on the ground. Never been there before.

You can run cams in Washington. I'll be setting up cell cams (My favorite hobby) and going there as much as possible. Closest unit is 200 miles from the house, so it'll be 3-4 days at a time. It's close to the Washington BDR trail and that's on my to do list anyways.

Hoping for a good thread start. At least I can post some scenery later 😃

Cell cams will be nice on that hunt.  Hopefully people respect them up there. Good luck

Cams are up. Plenty of elk in the area. Came across this gem while scouting. Looks just like my favorite mountain when it's not a circus. 

 

I'm glad the elk aren't shy. Need to find some 'true spikes' in the unit.

It's picking up it seems. Found a bedding area in the middle of nowhere. Paying off. Still not seeing 'true spikes' yet. There's a unit above this one that's 'any elk' but I really don't wanna dismiss this..

Looks like someone else stopped by. I know it's just a black bear, but it's my first on cam in Washington 😃

Looks like fun. Nice to have a tag in your pocket even if you don’t get drawn.

Finally! 2 or 3 Spikes show up for the party. Those are the only legal ones to take in the unit.
