Anyone else seeing dead elk all over St. Helens tree farm?

From what I am told the Abernathy is bordered by private timber lands on both sides?
Never been there.
He also said the rot exists in young calves and several where killed by the dept. for testing.

Abernathy is not a GMU. (nor is it gum, that I know of)   

Just FYIh

Is that a bullet hole in that elk?

 Yeah I don't think he died of hoof rot.

That looks like a healthy bull that was poached for his horns. Too bad that d bag didnt get caught. With the herd in danger of the hoof rot they need all the healthy animals they can get. Dosent make any sense when that animal would have dropped the horns anyway. Just disgusting!

Bet if no one bought hunting licenses next year they'd solve the problem pics from today seen several others over the past few weeks. None seem to have the worse hoof rot I've seen but none the less they died

Saw five dead ones three days ago. No hoof rot on any. Said to see. Need the green to start growing for them. Saw two herds and they looked skinny.

We have hoof rot all over here in the Willipa Hills unit. It is really bad here in Wahkiakum County. Game department has no answers so far. Knowing them all the elk will be dead and gone before they find a solution.
