It WAS wide open, there were so many elk back then, wede see heards of 20- 50 and all no smaller than 5x5s. Trust me , those 5x5s werent the big bulls that were there That place has gone WAY down hill since then. Its not even close to the same. Used to see 7x8, 8x8, even 9x9s up there. Now its mainly little rags eith a few descent bulls. Nicec Pics! Love looking back on one of my most favorite places to hunt.......well used to be

Love looking back on one of my most favorite places to hunt.......well used to be I always think of the westside of being wet and brushy. Was that area so wide open because of Mt. St. Helens eruption in the early 80s and since then grown back up?
We need another eruption to flatten all the trees down and grass to grow in their place.
Maybe Mt Rainier will erupt and create some great elk habitat!
