What do you need to know?

[Missing]

All bears and wolves, no deer, no elk and no moose...............Just say'in

[CAMPMEAT]

What do you need to know?

Just about everything. It's a disabled hunt and I've been offered by the WDFW. You have to go into Idaho, back into Washington to access it. I just wanna know if elk are there, or is it another happy dance that the WDFW makes look good.

any chance of a scouting trip before the decision has to be made?

Not sure where Buck Creek is, but I've seen Elk sign right across the river from Usk. I'd go high up this early in the season.  There are Whitetails and Moose in 113, too.  Good luck, Camp!

Well lets just put it this way, the times that I have been up there I have seen more bears than anything. I've never seen elk in that area but that doesn't mean squat. They are there but like anywhere in the northeast corner they're in small groups. Its heavy timbered and rugged so you're gonna have to put in the work thats for sure!

I've hauled many tons of wood chips into and out of Usk and into P.O. Newsprint. But I've never been over the bridge in Usk.
Been all over Sullivan Lake, but never across the bridge in Usk in 5 years of being near there. I think I'm gonna load up the ATVs
and head over there Friday and look. I do have an Idaho wolf tag that is burning a hole in my wallet.....

You guys go to the WDFW site and click on ADA access, you'll see an elk in the upper right corner, click on that and scroll down until you see the USFS hunt with #261, that's it.

I always see ELK around that area in the spring when I am turk huntin ..  So they should be around there now since they are most likely resident elk to that area...

Lol.  This is not buck creek you are talking about.  It is listed for BUTCH creek.  That should clear things up a little and get you better replies.
