Elk Hunting in Ferry, Stevens, or Pend Oreille Counties

[wapiti22]

I've seen a few cows in the hills around Sullivan Lake near Ione

Elk are few and far between. You have a better chance at seeing moose in that area.

I'd venture to guess that it's not even shared with family in some cases. 

I'd venture you're right!

Well thanks to everyone and what they have to offer to this discussion post! I am moving there in the summer and plan on really putting in some effort! I love backpacking and going places no others like to go, so should be a great adventure! If anyone over there wants to get together to hunt and animals hit me up on Instagram or Facebook.

Would love to connect with some people and do some filming and adventures while hunting His great Creation!

Well I will tell you that elk hunting in the NE part of the state is a hush hush topic kind of like the high hunt

[AJ Howard]

What do you mean about the high hunt? The high hunt over there or in general? Feel like the high hunt is pretty well known about. So I am wondering what you mean?

[Skyvalhunter]

No in general the high hunt areas are tight lipped and the elk areas in NE WA are extremely tight lipped by the people that hunt them.

My buddy and I sent 40 or so head running when I buzzed them a 50' in his Cessna 170 earlier this month in Stevens county.  They definitely are there.

Incredibly stupid thing to do this time of year IMO.

Would you prefer we land on them?  You've got to clear the runway somehow, hitting an elk with an airplane would be incredibly stupid anytime of year.

Well that's an important tidbit of information, changes things considerably

  Wait for it....

I've seen Elk all the time over the years behind my property and locked gates along with a lot of moose and mule deer. 2017 was a different story. It was a friggin ghost town. No fresh game trails, no scat etc. Once the weather hit with snow and muddy logging roads I saw numerous wolf tracks. The lower elevation whitetails remained the same. I'm sure the 2016 winter didn't help matters much either.

Context is key.  That's a lot different than what I was referring to.

I didn't want to give up too much info, now everyone is going to be looking up landing strips to find some elk!
