2013 Elk Season Naselle help!

[iRem]

I've hunted Hwy 101 from Raymond on down to Naselle a couple of times found elk but no shot. Looking for some new locations down in that area for next year and looking for some better opportunities next season. I've hunted to sloughs found sign but no elk, went down into the Naselle area found sign and elk but wasn't able pull back on one. Hunted some DNR land and perhaps some one else have some ideas on what I should do and go! Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the willapa

Have you tried the willapa

No, I haven't been in Willapa! Maybe it's time to learn a new area, the only problem with that is I've been all over do to inconsistency of my hunting partners and I would like to stop traveling and stick with the areas I some-what know to get to know it better for a higher percentage for harvest!

IRem, maybe this is the year to move away from the hoof rot which is taking hold in many of the SW units? Try something completely new?

There are a lot of elk between raymond and naselle and lots of gates, It's all good hunting have not seen any sign of hoof rot till you get around pe ell.

I've hunted the Naselle area for the last two years in the Bear River unit (late season) and have seen a fair amount of sign and some small and medium groups of cows but I'm yet to get into any bulls. Almost made it happen on the cows twice this year.

Remember to cover lots of ground and the elk return to the same areas repeatedly

Grundy you are right saw a 5x5 with it and a cow on the forks creek c line. I have not seen any south of raymond till you get down by the town of grays river saw some in a field there.
