Elk?

Postby BothellBikeGuy » Tue Nov 01, 2011 2:46 pm

Has anyone been out elk hunting on the east side of the cascades? I have a buddy over near Tip Top Mountain SE of Casmere and he has been hiking around since opening day and hasn't seen anything. We are hoping to swich gears and pick a new spot to finish out the week. Any suggestions?

Well, we ended up going a little higher up towards Blewett pass. We couldn't locate any sign and a prospector told us the elk moved out and that he had seen them N of Ellensburg. We went back to Mineral pass since that is where we saw the most sign during deer season before finally going N. of Ellensburg for the last 2 days of the season. It was there where we saw the freshest sign but just not enough time to catch up with them.

We did see a lot of country and a cougar (didn't have my tag) and for my first elk hunt I felt pretty successful just getting out there and getting started.

Elk hunting is so tough, especially when the weather is so darned nice. Need some snow to drive'em down. Good to get out there man and next time don't forget the cougar tag. Too many of those critters around these days tommygun
