Anyone interested for 2006? I'd perfer rifle but I also have a bow.
Been talking with Kanabal about elk during the black posder season and we are trying to get it all together for this year.
Do you think it worth while to pick up a deer tag at the same time? We will be hunting on the Penninsula some where.
In 2005, the general muzzleloader elk and deer seasons were the same dates so it would make sense to buy the deer tag 'just in case'. The dates for 2006 have yet to be published, as far as I can tell. These dates are due out by May15th, 2006 though.
Do you have any ideas where on the peninsula yet?
Thanks
Elk is the week of 1-7 Oct, I wll have to check but I think deer is the same.
That is the early season and deer is exactly the same. The late seasons match also. I have the 2005 rule book here on my desk.

Updated for 2007. Didn't get one last year but it was not for a lack of trying.

Want to keep in touch. I will not be a realistic prospect this year. We are currently going though a merger so I am pretty strapped for time for hunting in 2007. I have been trying to get out to Washington for the last 3 years or so and have not given up yet. I will start planning now for 2008 so kind of plan on some company next year. There will be 2-4 hunters in the group depencing on how we can get it set up. You up for that?
Thats cool, I am not planning on going anywhere soon.
I just went thru a merger from December to June. And now I gots a new job. They employed the chainsaw management method to profitablitily. Its a hot job market now so no big deal.
LOOKS LIKE I WILL STAY HERE AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM.
I move our stuff around the rest of the world I was a solo act, the company we are merging with is fleet size probably twice of our size and they had two guys. I really do not see it getting any smaller than that and get it done. My average week runs 50 hours on the easy side and 70 on the tougher side.
Exterran if you want to google them up.
I worked for a company that made mortgage software, the down turn in the housing martket sealed their fate. Not too many companies buy software in a declining market. Now I work for an online travel company whose commercials end with a singing harmony of "Dot Com", not the silly little knome. (Though I think the knome commercials are funny).
Well the hunt is on. Rayonier opened up some gates to their private land out on the west end. Saw a couple of cow elk but nothing on a buck yet.
Good luck on the hunt.
Are you restricted to boys only? To me it would not make a difference with a little lean toward a cow first.

If you don't put in for some kind of drawing, you get only boy tags (I am talking about modern rifle only, I'd have to look up the regs on the others). Most of the other western states have a 'weighted lottery' system too and WA just adopted something similar.
Rayonier say they are keeping the gates open thru the end of elk (rifle) season. I may have to buy a tag.

The end of the rainbow. No pot-o-gold and appearantly no deer either.
This is on Rayonier private land looking out over the Hoko River towards Neah Bay.
Shameless 3rd year bump.
Including west end elk this year........

Seems we are the only talking about this. Still trying to stay in touch but will not make it to Washington this year either. I have a Colorado deal working that may pan, who knows for sure right now.
We hunted Texas whitetail with a vengence last year but did not do any good in the freezer. Local laws for us were very restrictive.
You never know when someone might stubble through here.
I may get a little more time this year to go after elk. I did see couple of cows last year during deer season but only because they steped out in the road in front of me just after dark. (Nothing like a little excitement).
Is your Colorado deal with friends, an outfitter/guide or ? I've looked into a guided out of state trip (it'd be great to get Dad to go along) but they are big bucks.

With a friend. He just landed the property for his exclusive use. Should be interesting.
I will ask if he is interested in paying guests and the cost. No promisses but you never know. Would your and your dad be it or maybe a few more?
Would love to but it's a bit far and expensive, heck the travel is way ot of reach of my pocket in the foreseeable future. Good luck to you both.
I got a buck hanging out in my yard....mmuuuuhhhhaaaaahhhh!
Epic 4th year bump.
You have to give me credit for persistance.
:MOGRIN:
Please don't be discouraged----you know that good things happen for those that wait.
If I was easily discouraged, I'd have given up hunting long ago ;)
5th year bump!
I will not let this thread die!

I got one last year. There was a big doe with a couple of yearling fawns that took up residence in and around my yard, it helped that I was feeding them grain too. She'd let me get within 10 yards of her too, its hard to miss with a bow at that range.
My 2 young girls got watch the whole thing including gutting and butchering, they thought it was very cool and deer butt on the barbie is now a favorite.
Contrary to current rumor, the world did not stop and I did not fall off. However, if anyone is still interested in hunting out here, let me know :)
Glad to see you, unknown_one!
Never say die!

Glad you are still here. Still trying to get to Colorado and Washington. Big changes in disposable income really kink the deal. Now working for school district as a security guard.
Good to see ya got one though. Pictures
Aint dead yet, despite the rumors.
Deer, elk, birds, fish, I don't mind, I'm always up for anything. I now have deer in my yard so they're easy. I'd trade an easy deer for ducks and other flying meat chunks.
EPIC 11 year thread!
Good to hear you "ain't dead yet"! Wish I had something to offer. I have to travel thousands of miles to hunt.
Paul
Still aint dead yet.
