Weird, I talked a biologist a few months back and she said that the ONLY collared elk in the area were done by the Muckleshoot tribe.

That would be a bit of a track from the muckleshoot Rez.  But not unheard of for elk

The Puyallup Tribe has been tracking collared elk in the Packwood area since the early 2000's. Google puyallup tribe collared elk and a lot pops up, for example

During Muzzle season in the Bumping about 10 years ago I found a dead cow that had a collar and ear tags. She was HUGH!!!!

I recorded the collar and ear tag numbers, the GPS coordinates and after the Black powder season ended I called the F&G folks. I eventually spoke with a Biologist who was very nice and friendly. He told me that particular cow was involved in a Re-productivity study. She was caught each year at Oak Creek feeding station and her uterus was ultra sounded. She was 17 years old and had never calved as her uterus was mis-shapened.

Crazy!!

Very interesting.  Didn't realize an elk could live that long.  Who knows, maybe it was a bull they were doing an ultrasound on but his antlers were so regressed they thought it was a cow. :chuckle:

I shot a collared bull elk back in Sept. 1984. Shot during the archery season  above Rimrock Lake ( Minnie Meadows). I turned in the collar to the WDFW and found out the bull was collared above White Swan on the Yakima Indian rez. in March the year before.

Elk were collared in the St. Helens herd between 2011 and 2014. They're tracking hoof disease-related movements and mortality.
