    Washington's general rifle elk season on public land is by far one of the toughest hunts any hunter can encounter. Per unit, the average hunter success ratio is between 0% and 3% according to 2018's harvest statistics. That's a very low number relative to other states general rifle elk season success ratio. However, that does not mean that it's impossible. It's possible, just extremely hard. As they say, persistence kills. I was blessed with one opportunity this rifle season on a bull and this video shows exactly how it went down.

    Congrats Samong. Super happy for you buddy. You seem like a great guy and you’ve put in the work. You earned it bud. I remember when I took my first spike in the WA general rifle spike only season in 2011 (after hunting A LOT of years), and it is still the best feeling I’ve ever had as a hunter. I loved seeing your joy after taking your first elk, I was the exact same way. So awesome!! Taking a bull in WA in the general season is incredibly difficult. You should be proud.

  • @LostSkillsNW

    One spike out of nine of us in camp this year and cold and crunchy it was. I am so happy for you.
    You are so blessed. God bless you more brother.
