he went out there today and got a really nice fork n horn.

Are you from Oregon originally?

Me and my son went up at 530PM after our softball game.  Saw 4, and jumped 2.   Hopefully we can see something with horns tomorrow...  First one looked like a buck, but as soon as i got out of the truck it was halfway in the woods so i didnt get a good look at it.  Then some guy came bombing down the road.  He asked if i saw anything, i said nope just looking for sign!!!

Do you guys go in on the Morton side?

[cliffordingles]

No i'm originally from Centralia.

[buckster]

So just main vail loop gate.

[cliffordingles]

buskster - didnt know you were talking to me, yes i use the vail gate. The Big Hanaford gate is rarely open anymore...

Got a medium sized 2pt with a small rack friday in my area I walk in, way away from the main line craziness and idiot hunters.

[buckster]

Ahh I see yeah just trying to find my buddy a first buck any good places to walk in? During week and I'm not sure but tomorrow might try afternoon

Do you have the map of the tree farm? When I was looking for spots I just cross checked areas between the map and Google earth satellite/topo view. If you find something that looks decent just walk in and see what you can find. Plenty of deer in the area, we saw 15 does, 4 fawns, 2 bucks and a huge 5x5 bull in a single day.

Just glassin areas but yeah sound like you have a great area. Thanks fella

Walk in behind a closed gate, not around the main line. Sorry if I don't want to share too much, hoping it will still be there when the time comes.

if he is from centralia he would not go in the vail loop road, the big hanaford side is open. i could guess where the elk was but wont theres only a few spots the elk are in vail. i was in there yesterday and watched two parties shooting at 1 spike in a huge bowl, he got away too. poor spike had to run around 400yds with a ton of lead in the air, i counted 9 shots and he was still running, probably in onalaska by now.

[crazysccrmd]

It was weird seeing elk and elk sign in the area I was at. I have never seen anything in previous years so it was quite the surprise. I was worried that the newest/youngest hunter in his first season would see antlers and shoot. Luckily that didn't happen.
