I have actually seen elk on the middle fork road during modern season two years ago. 10 minutes after shooting light plus it was just cows and spikes and right where the road splits and the houses begin.
I've hunted up the Taylor River trail and saw lots of fresh sign. Have even crossed the river and seen fresh sign but nothing other than elk ghosts!!!
I always thought the N. Fork area looked more promising but a WDFW guy said there wasn't anything up the N. Fork road. I read later where a guy hit a 7x7 on the N. Fork road and killed it!!
A guy would need to be a relentless tracker, get real lucky or have access to private land along the river to get one down. I would like to get a bull out of the 460 before I die though.
