Pe Ell South

[SCRUBS]

We had the Pe Ell South permit 4 years ago. We were in there a lot, mostly through the Rock Creek gate.  The entire deer and elk season we saw one buck and it was a spike that my daughter refused to shoot.  We did see a bunch of elk but all had hoof rot so badly that we wouldn't shoot.  I had my daughter on 5 bulls on opening day of muzzleloader and each one was so sick and spindly that she passed.  She said "I'm not eating a sick bull no matter what's on it's head!".

I must say PolarBear, you are doing a fine job raising that girl.

Thank you!!  She shows an incredible amount of restraint and determination.

         I live close by and the hoof rot is very bad! it has taken a huge toll on the animals in the past years. So bad i have been looking else where to hunt elk. The deer numbers are at a all time low also.
