Late Archery Elk hunt unit
« on: April 11, 2021, 07:03:01 PM »
Hello,
 I Elk hunt in Oregon with my brothers and was looking to look for a place to hunt here in Washington in the late season. I have looked online and was wondering if anyone had any advice on units.
 I have noted two 448 and 346 and want to start scouting them, but would not mind a suggestion if those are worth it or another unit would be better.
Thanks for any advice.

I can't speak much to 346, haven't ever hunted it. All of the Yakima region units are struggling a bit the last few years. 448 is definitely not worth your time. There are elk in there, but very few, scattered, and move a lot. I spend a lot of time in 448 and have never seen one. I have come across sign here and there, but always old. Your best bet is probably 346 and hope for snow, but not too much.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I don't know anything about hunting eastern washington, but I would imagine the spike only units are tough, they are spike only for all weapon types, by late archery I would think that would be tough.

For the West side, anything that is "Any elk" generally has low elk numbers and they want to keep it that way because of conflict with farmers and civilization. If you can find a pocket of elk in those units that are huntable great, but it will take some scouting and time. Most every unit on the penninsula and south of Olympia will have good elk numbers you just need to find an accessible area and check it out. Boots on the ground will be needed as there are elk in every unit but pockets within each that the elk like to frequent and pockets that the elk never go to.
