Hi Guys,

Well I'm going to Idaho this year to increase my chances of actually harvesting an elk.Been skunked hunting the Manashtash GMU 4yrs running. I'm a relatively new hunter and my elk hunting buddies only go there, despite all the other hunters around. I just can't believe the year over year lack of elk spotted/harvested in this area and my buddies still are going there again. I even had a cow elk tag two years ago and of course didn't see any elk during the whole season ... what luck.

Since I hate being skunked in my home state, where do you guys go to hunt Wa elk? I'm not a trophy hunter (yet), I like being outdoors and actually getting to harvest an elk once in a while too!

thanks much guys!

PS- I've just purchased a ML so that's an option too - I'm using it over in Republic during deer season ... the amount of modern firearms hunters have steadily grown over in the far eastside hence the switch to ML.
