Mountain goat here in Washington. Doubt I’ll ever draw a tag in this state but one can hope.

Actually, I do.

But, this is going to be a calling hunt rather than a roost shooting one. Not calling like here. But they use a FoxPro or similar e-caller and dekes to call the toms. It's not a traditional turkey hunt. But Ocellated aren't traditional turkeys.

I've been trying...........with basically zero luck.........to find Ocellated hen videos or recordings. I thought maybe I could build some sort of call.......... But I just am not finding much of anything.[/quote]

I know of several that went out with those intentions and ended up doing it the other way rather than go home empty handed.
I need the Ocellated to complete my world slam, but just can’t get motivated to kill a turkey that doesn’t gobble and looks like a peacock. The only thing they have that are impressive are their spurs! They have some daggers for sure.
Wish you success and can’t wait to read about the trip! And take plenty of pics!

Pa Bull Elk

I've been fortunate to take many of North America's big game, and a few species in Far Eastern Russia. Before I got too old and decrepit, my dream hunt was in Afganistan chasing Himalayan snowcock. I knew that was a no-go, so next on my list was the Ruby Mountains of Northern Nevada, where they have a season for Himalayan snowcock. I love Dall sheep hunting, and I love chukar hunting. Combine the two, and you got Himalayan Snowcock hunting. Nothing could be finer, in my warped opinion.

Grandad has been dead 40 years now. I wish i could go to elk camp with him one more time. Camp by the salt house above Cochetopa Creek

Mtn lion. Prefer to call one in but I'd settle to trap one

A whale. Seriously would love to stick a harpoon into a big old sperm whale and then finish it off. Never gonna happen though

One of these and a Costal Brown bear

Pennsylvania has done a great job of putting elk back on the landscape!!
If these pics don't get the elk hunter in us cranked up nothing ever will!

Turkey grand slam..

I've killed a bull elk, 2 black bears, and numerous whitetails. Another elk or bear does not interest me, but a big whitetail turns =me on

I never really thought I'd be doing this, either. But my cousin.................who's actually only hunted turkeys 2 days in his life...........convinced me we need to do this. He was with me on the two days I completed my pair of Royal Slams. He's an adventure seeker to the max............. When he heard about Ocellateds, he said "LET'S DO IT !!!!" So, here I am. Going whith my cousin and hunting with my buddy who is the preeminent Gould's and Ocellated outfitter .

Good luck Strut10!! Can’t wait to see pics and hear the stories. I’ll just keep hitting different Western States for a while. I love our Eastern’s, but something about those “yodeling” Merriam’s has a hold on me.

Western archery bull elk, Michigan elk cow or bull, mulie, blacktail on Kodiak, Caribou, mountain goat, Michigan Red Oak unit black bear, Alaskan moose and maybe a sheep.

Headed to Colorado with a mulie, elk and bear tag this fall so hopefully get at least one knocked off the list. Kodiak is booked for next year for blacktail and maybe a Caribou if we can luck into a few. Hopefully I can pull a Michigan elk tag before I die.
