New to the forum and need some elk help

Which mountain are you trying to stay close to Adams or St Helens?

st Helens and pm sent

Be prepared for a lot of people this year since Weyerhauser is closed. And depending on what area you finally choose you may have berry pickers to contend with.

Just looking for the steepest nastiest hole to get into and I'm going to backpack in and stay all season

bear grass pickers are alot more of a pain in the a@$ then berry pickers. most of the berry pickers stay pretty close to the roads. Watch out for the beargrass pickers.

ya hunted around mt adams last year and bear grass pickers were everywhere. Thats one of the reasons why i want to get way away from the roads and people.

Here is my  1st find the sign ...tracks or sheet ! Then sniff around until you actually can smell elk ...Now its time to hunt

I've got some suggestions for mt. adams, but mt. st helens is always full of hunters. We found elk up there last year however, just took a slow methodical search in the brush. Mt. Adams would be a better choice.

I've gone in blind into new areas, what's wrong with that?  When I was younger I used to go out and find new areas and walk until I found sign or relocated?  Best of luck on your hunt and don't get discouraged.
