Hi All, I'm thinking about putting in for a controlled bow elk hunt this year. I have 14 points saved up. I'd like to know your thoughts on some of the different units...Wenaha, Walla Walla, Mt. Emily, etc.
BTW, for what it matters, I use trad. tackle.
Thanks

With 14 points you don't really have a shot at drawing Wenaha. There were 73 people that put in for Wenaha last year with 14 points and none drew according to odfw website. However, you have a decent shot at Mt Emily and Walla Walla. I'd go for Mt Emily personally, but its really a toss up for those units. I was looking at the success rates and they basically match. However, Walla Walla alots about 1/2 the tags that are available for Mt Emily. Hope this helps you.

Filmed my friends hunt in Walla Walla.He ended up getting a great bull (368 gross).You can see the video on YouTube under Bryce purtzer.From what I heard in mt Emily you will hunt DOWN into some deep canyons.WW was not so bad and has access via 4 wheeler or motorcycles.
