Hi Guys,
I'm planning out my first ever elk hunt. My wife's parents live in Washington state, so were going to make the trip from Indiana to visit in November...And I'm going to get out for a few days on an elk hunt. This will be for the "modern firearm" season which starts Nov.3.
So far, I've researched a good bit and I'm very close to being settled on GMU 654. It's just west of Mount Rainier. This will be an over-the-counter tag, and I'll be limited to public ground. Does anyone have any experience hunting elk or any other deer types in Washington or nearby? Any elk hunters out there with any tips?
Gear: Browning X-Bolt in .270 Win, Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14, Hornady Precision Hunter 145 grain. The rest of my gear is typical of most midwestern whitetail bow-hunters...binos, camo, boots, etc.
Any tips and advice is helpful,
Thanks
