Hey folks well been takin the Hawkins for some nice walks lately but just can't seem to get to pull the trigger.
For those that want to know here's a little story so far this year.
Reg for Washington State in the unit I hunt. 1st off you have to pick your weapon (bow, modern or muzzy) and you can only hunt in that season. For muzzy it opened last Saturday and runs till tomorrow the 6th. Bucks only either Whitetail or Muley but it must have atleast 3 points on oneside. Any elk opened today and runs till Friday (muzzy only) they are out there seen them and have pics but they are few and far between with around 40,000 ac of sage to hide in.
In my 40+ years of muzzleloading I've gotten Whitetail and elk but never a Muley so I guess you can say it's on my Bucket List. Turned 68 this year and the walkin out here ain't to bad but I always keep in the back of my mind the fact that I'll be packing anything out on my back, most of my old hunting buds have moved on oneway or another so I hunt alone most of the time.
The 1st day started out looking like it could be good got the first snow fall, not much but some but it melted off pretty quick. A quick look across the grass and sage brush towards the mountains.
I've been seeing game just can't find one with that 3 pt min.
