Last year was my first year hunting elk in Western Washington and even though I came home empty handed I learned a ton. We saw lots of elk the last twodays but I couldn't find a 3 point min. I hunted with my .300 mag, mostly in a tree stand. This is my last year here in Washington state and I decided to go with my bow this year. When I talk to the locals they tell me that tree stands are an "East Coast thing". I guess I am too used to whitetail hunting in Maine and to think that you are going to sneak up on or even ambush a whitetail is hilarious. Is this the same case with elk? Or can I actually sneak up to forty or so yards to a bull and put an arrow in his heart? I think I will go with my gut feeling and use my climber, but what I was wondering is: with it still being "green" in September, should I order a leafy suit in the new "green camo" or just go with a mossy oak break up?
