I see hundreds of elk in there every year.  Have yet to see a limper.  Those your videos?

Wow, terrible. I’ve spent a few years in there. Worst part is only 6 or 8 possibly get harvested a year? There goes that herd; good job Hancock, about to lose the main reason some buy a pass.

Imagine when wolves make it to all these herds?

You have some great videos and bulls spotted, have you ever drawn the elk tag in there?

I have heard about hoof rot in there but never seen a limped in 4 years and have seen a TON of elk in there.
Also way more than 8 bulls are killed in there each uesr...they just gove out 8 to the rec pass holders. All the guys from electron power kill bulls in there every year and timber company guys.
What an amazing bull in that video!! Would love to find those sheds

I was drawn for archery back in 2016.  I had a couple opportunities on the big ones, made a couple mistakes that seemed minor in the moment but ended up being critical.  Killed a mid 330’s six point the last 10 minutes of the last day.

Wow, what a way to end it though, 330 is a huge bull.  Thanks for all those videos, enjoy the crap out of them.

Interesting rack on that first bull. Sad to see the suffering critters.

Sad to see for sure, Ive seen one bull in there with it a couple years ago.  I watched it decimate the St. Helens herd in about 5-6 years, Im afraid this herd will share the same fate.  Deepwater, Ive got a pic of a bull that is similar to the moose paddle bull, but upon closer inspection yours is much bigger.
Always enjoy your vids you get some great stuff thanks for sharing.
Are the limpers in a localized area or spread out?

They are all in relatively close proximity on the office gate side, but so are half of my cameras.  I find it interesting that all four seem to be the left rear foot, probably doesn’t mean anything but considering the theories about what causes it, I wonder why not all the hooves?

I've seen a few jumpers the last few weeks, in the Eatonville gate
