glowball · 07-15-2005, 03:11 PM

Results are up on the internet.

ColdSteel · 07-15-2005, 03:20 PM

Nothing for me but that's what I expected since this was my first year applying.

How'd you do glowball?

glowball · 07-15-2005, 03:24 PM

We got an archery alkali mule deer tag. I've been told there are some really big bucks in that unit. My cousin and I put in together. He's going to central so he'll be scouting it hard for us.

Can't wait

Big TULE · 07-15-2005, 04:07 PM

I am wondering what it is going to take for me to get drawn again???
Nada for ELK Now have 8 points
Nada for DEER Now have 3 points
Nada ffor MOOSE 3 points (will never draw this)
Big FAT nope for sheep. 1 point (will never draw this either)
I was drawn in high school for Cow elk but never again.

Washington Hunter · 07-15-2005, 05:03 PM

I got a Peaches Ridge any bull muzzleloader tag, it took 8 points to get it, but I think it was worth the wait!

Freighter Bait · 07-15-2005, 05:20 PM

Wow! Ya beat me to it. Been checking 3 times daily. Drew a 2-group Grayback B buck hunt with 3 points. Nov.17-20 2 point min. Hopijng for early snow! Average 6 points in group elk draw, no luck.

Freighter, what did ya put in for.
We have 10 in our party, we all put in seperate and no body goy drawn. Everybody has 4 points or greater. Our house is the house of the disgruntled hunters tonight...

Freighter Bait · 07-15-2005, 05:41 PM

Grayback B was 1st choice for deer, 2 in group, 3 points each. Successful!! I've been missing hunting in the snow, maybe this year?
3 in party for elk w/average of 6 points. Margaret - 1st choice, Toutle - 2nd. Unsuccessful. I know, we're dreaming there, but might as well go for a nice hunt that is close to home.
Goat, moose, & sheep, 6 points each - no luck.
We hit turkey last year so no luck with 1 point this year.
We did draw the spring bear hunt and hunted hard with no luck.

i need a link!!! i cannot find it online. what can i say i am a oregon transplant.

thanks in advance

HntnFsh · 07-15-2005, 07:37 PM

Didnt get mine.AGAIN!!! Pretty much expected that though. Margaret first Toutle second.

If I cant draw 1 of those I would rather hunt the local private properties that I have access to.

thanks guys drew esquatzel a muzzle nothing else. any tips?

Washington Hunter · 07-15-2005, 08:13 PM

All I know about that one is it's 99% private land. And, there's a general season at the same time for bucks only. Are you just hoping to shoot a doe?

baller25 · 07-15-2005, 08:20 PM

its either sex but i will shoot doe. i will have some opportunity on private land. but i do not know if it holds many deer. during the rut so anything is possible if the land i have the chance to hunt has deer.

Washington Hunter · 07-15-2005, 08:45 PM

baller25, sent you a PM.

Two of my buddies have drawn there in the last two years.

Both saw bigger. They herd of a 34in that came out of there last year.
Ofcorse I didn't get drawn again

Make sure you make a trip over to take the training.

Yes, but it doesn't do a lot of good when there's 4,500 people applying for only 29 permits.

My cousin called me and let me know his buddy drew bighorn sheep in the Umtanum/Selah Butte unit. Was only 3 permits! He had 2 points. I have 8 points, along with probably at least half of the people putting in for sheep.

nobrownline · 07-17-2005, 01:53 PM

big fat 0 for me.Even with 9 points for elk and less odds I don't know how I didn't draw. oh well.I know the esquatzel like the back of my hand thats where I always hunt pm me if u need help That was a buddy of mine that got a 34 out of alkai last year he also saw a bigger one!

Bull7x6 · 07-17-2005, 09:14 PM

Well, the daughter drew a blank on youth moose hunt and rifle elk for Margaret and Toutle bull...

However it seems 10 pts was enough for a Toutle bull archery tag...Think I'm still in shock.

Off to find my unit map...(this should be cool!)

bassin · 07-18-2005, 08:16 AM

Elk 1 pt, Got Margaret Last year

Moose 6 pt
Deer 5 pt.
Goat 5 pt

some do one state is never enough three or four is better. besides we have to make do with what we have.

Big TULE · 07-18-2005, 06:08 PM

i have a few ideas for ya. I didn't draw with 7 points in the muzzle loader draw, if ya need help PM me.
I know the unit well.

RoscoeP · 07-18-2005, 08:47 PM

Point taken....

nobrownline · 07-18-2005, 09:47 PM

Are you guys sure wherehauser is going to open up the toutle this year? They didn't last year and the mt still has a closed circle around it. My buddy got a tic shed hunting in there. Same with Margret

The off limits area has been decreased significantly.

Check the Gifford Pinchot site for the latest. Not sure what the private companies are doing.

Bounty Hunter · 07-19-2005, 08:58 AM

Deer: Yale A (any deer)

Sheep: 2 pts

Elk: 1 pt

Moose: 1 pt

Anyone have any pointers on good Yale deer spots (public land)?

HntnFsh · 07-19-2005, 06:16 PM

A lot of the closure last year was also due to fire danger.Thats just a gamble a guy is going to have to adjust to when the time comes.

Big TULE · 07-19-2005, 07:02 PM

I drew that tag a while back and didn't even hunt it. Remember you need to use a muzzle loader in Yale, no modern fire arms.

Big TULE · 07-19-2005, 07:03 PM

Sry, double post...

You can use a modern firearm...a shotgun. I'd take a shotgun with a rifled barrel over a muzzleloader any day.

nobrownline · 07-19-2005, 10:43 PM

My muzzle loader will out shoot a shotgun any day. no boast just fact. People that say it wont have never spent any time with a modern front loader. I know the Yale.lived in it for several yrs. send me a pm with exactly what you are looking for and I should be able to help

Washington Hunter · 07-20-2005, 07:25 AM

Well, that's debatable. But even if that's true (and I doubt it,) any good shotgun with a rifled barrel and a scope is plenty good enough in the accuracy department for shooting deer out to 150 yards. All without the hassle of having to clean it after every shot, and no worries about keeping the powder dry when it rains.

nobrownline · 07-20-2005, 03:18 PM

Now now we are talking about firearm restriction areas. You can use a sealed breach and 209 primers along with a powder that doesn't corriode the barrel , along with a scope. he doesn't have a muzzle loader tag. I know lots of public land.AS of 2 yrs ago there was a nice 4pt using 1 area.Can't road hunt it though

Big TULE · 07-20-2005, 04:57 PM

I will put my Knight 50 cal against any shot gun out to 200 yards. And i do not need to clean it after every shot. I shoot 110 grain pyrodex with a 310 grain bullet i shoot it alot anb trust my shooting.

nobrownline · 07-20-2005, 07:00 PM

I'm with TULE muzzleloaders arn't what they used to be!They reach velocities a shotgun only dreams about.

Bounty Hunter · 07-21-2005, 10:35 AM

Heh heh. Man you guys are cracking me up. I've got both a rifled barrel shotgun (no scope) and a hammer lock muzzleloader (no scope). I can't shoot as good as either one of you (lack of practice), but I do know that after about 5 shots with that shotgun I'm one sore puppy :blush:. Maybe we should have an ifish Sight-in 'tilla and you guys could settle the question once and for all!

Nobrownline - I'll definately send you a PM about your suggestions... Thanks!

My partner and I drew Grayback B with 3 points each. If any body has experience with this late buck hunt, I would enjoy hearing your stories.

nobrownline · 08-09-2005, 02:28 PM

It's a gimmie. Just about as easy as it gets
