Sounds like elk hunting to me. Nice operation... Your hunting party does not share their meat with the whole party?

Congrats on your elk! Here in ID that would be an illegal spike because it forks! I assume WA doesn't recognize that?

I too have hunted with the orange army during rifle season south of where you are hunting in Cle Elum WA in Taneum district for many years.. we've taken all cows and spikes.. the best eating by far! Far too many hunters and a lot of hunters that shouldn't be in the woods. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people empty their semi-autos in quick succession.. IMHO if you can't hit it with the first shot, go home.
I've since moved over to bow hunting and man is that a nice change a pace.. a lot fewer hunters, better weather.. not as easy to kill an elk but then that is not my number one priority.
Nice spike, that guy is going to be a good eater!

Yeah the elk hunting by the reserve in clockum is too chaotic for me. Thats why I hunt on the otherside down below less elk but also less hunters. I did drive by the reserve onec during this past season and saw a spike stand ing on the reserve about 75 yards off the road so I shot him with my camera. I also saw a spike where I was hunting but he was to far away to take an ethical shot but there were ppl down delow me on the road leaning over the hood of their truck taking thousand yard shots which really pissed me off. Its getting hectic everywhere elk hunting. I did draw a cow tag last year though and got one in december with the malaga tag.
