I have spent a lot of time in that unit over the years, mostly on public tho, but have never seen an elk.  40 acres isn't a lot of dirt to work with, even in elk-rich areas, imho.  You pulled a sweet tag, but I wouldn't spend it sitting on your pard's patch hoping for an elk to swing though.
Hunt them where they is, not where they ain't.

I would hunt ANY of the NE WA units before I hunted this unit for elk

Same here.

Everybodys right not alot of elk up there ,but if i was going to that unit i woulnd go to boulder crk. Road its kinda smaller pass to curlew closer to canada,there is some national forest land roads at the top try to get to some gated or closed land u can walk.sherman pass u wont see much elk to many people up there.make sure u take your grouse gun and good luck

There are several herds in 101, but you need to know exactly where they are and unless your landowner has seen elk on their property I wouldn't expect to see elk there. But if they see elk there or there is fresh sign in the early fall it might be just the place to kill a good bull.

appreciate the heads up.... like I said It butts right up on the National forest they told me they walk on there land an then theres a sign saying welcome to Colville Nat Forest..... I may scope it.. i am happy to get that tag... trying to get a good bull with my bow during prime time figure i would exhaust my options on lands

I have hunted 101 for 30 years and the only elk (about 10 total) that I have seen were practically standing on the rez line.

Getting fewer all the time.  8 wolf killed deer were found this winter on a short survey hike of Brown and Quartz Mts.

There are wolves in some of the elk areas now too. I haven't spent enough time looking at the elk over the last couple years to know if they are impacting the elk herds? I do think the wolves have been impacting the moose as I have seen fewer moose since the wolves showed up in those areas, so it's possible they are impacting the elk too.

I've heard they don't talk much up there anymore because of the wolves. It's a dinner bell for wolves.

elk still screaming in ID where i hunt full of wolves

[buglebrush]

IME Wolf packs move into a drainage, things get quiet.  However, the elk will still be screaming just a ridge away!    Have witnessed this many times.

I was scouting in 204 Acouple summers ago and had a huge 6pt bull run right in front of me up Cumberland Mtn. That's not too terribly far from 101.

I've never seen, heard or smelled an elk around here. I know families that have lived in the 101 all their lives and have never seen an elk. These guys are ranchers, who ride and gather their cattle in the worst ares too....nada. This is the Curlew, Boulder Pass, Kettle Crest Trail areas I'm talking about. I know one rancher who saw a Lynx years ago....on Boulder.

And the fact that last years harvest report was mostly about archery in 101.
I suspect there are a few honey holes where one or two elk a year are killed.
Not that many elk are fording the Kettle river to go west.
Maybe some are coming down from Canada.
