That's a bit more creative than "not looking for any honey-holes, but..."
I was thinking the same thing!

We hiked about 4 miles past closed gates in of the 4100 rd in st. helens , We saw one lone cow on a ridgeline im sure there were more over the otherside. We also saw 3 seperated dead cow elk
They were all coming off gametrails going toward the road but dead.. I called WDFW and reported it as possible poaching. I looked at one and it seemed to have a bullet hole in the neck, but the other two were starting to stink so my wife didnt want me to take a closer look..
I plan on checking out allot of the other spots mentioned in the next few weeks. We hike every wekend.

Go out to the dump past 224th on Meridian. They are in the field across from the dump daily. A doctor owns the property and does not allow hunting. You cant miss it, as it is posted every 10 feet NO HUNTING. Save you a trip way out. Or head to Packwood/Ashford. They are in town at the local baseball field.

If you end up out on the coast you can hike around Quinault and find them. I've never hunted there but when I've been there with the fam on camping trips we've almost always seen them.

Yep, head towards Eatonville, Ashford, Randle, Packwood, any of those have elk either in a field where you can see from the road, or jump off on a forest road and stump around, you'll see something. I see more off the side off the road than in the woods.

In Buckley and Enumclaw... Over by Mount Peak in Enumclaw drive the fields over there and you will see the same 20 to 30 elk every day or drive the fields in Buckley and you will see them off the buckley straights or off 262nd, 112th, Entwhistle, or Munday Loss...
