Colockum Quality Elk tag You dog! Congratulations! I’ve hunted 328 for 12 or so years and sadly , not sadly am an Idaho resident now and don’t see a return to 328. The area I hunted holds some nice bulls that get pushed high into the timber pockets by that time frame. 328 slope of Nanuem ridge , north beyond the chair lifts. There is a particularly special timbered bench up there that ...
Teanaway bull elk Most of these draw tags in the state are what you make of them. Put the effort in, hunt hard and see what happens. Plenty of big and really big bulls in that unit. To tag the monsters alot of things have to line up just right though so don't focus on the size as the true measure of success of the hunt is my opinion.

Salt licks for elk If I remember correctly, salt doesnt count as bait, correct? I know there are bait restrictions but I don't recall that applying to salt blocks etc. For example, would a 50lb bag of that salt mineral mixture be legal? The spot I want to lay it is on top of a long hike in so I don't want to go up there all the time.
.300 BLK for elk? This may be a bit of a stretch. The 300 BLK from a 16" barrel has very similar ballistics to the 30 Herrett from a 14" handgun. The Herrett round is considered adequate for medium game at moderate ranges (150 yards and less) and less than ideal but functional on larger game a short range (under 75 yards).

Lever Action for Elk Hunting I see a few, mostly .30-30s and .45-70s. I've heard of a few .444s, .300 Sav out there for elk. The BLRs have a selection of rimless bottlenecks that would work for elk. I would think if you go with a 45 LC, you would need some of the hotter loads for the modern lever guns.
best muzzleloader for elk Depends on the hunting and conditions in my opinion. Will you be hunting long range, heavy timber, dry side/season or the late on the wetside? I think a sidelock .54 cal with 450 grain bullets under blade/buckhorn sights would be plenty fine in the coastal forests in October, but wouldn't be my choice in clear cuts in December.
