How many elk have you seen in one day!

The title says it all! Let's start with scouting then during season, I will start. Scouting 109, during early archery season 68. Oh yeah,don't stretch the truth either :chuckle:

No idea for me.

Counted 97 migrating up into the mountain a month ago.

My dad told me of a story of hunting back in the day in the Yakima area where a guy pulled a cow tag and he actually shot a farmer's cow. He told me that the game department was called and everything. The farmer and the "hunter" settled to terms, I guess he just bought the farmer's cow for market price! I wonder if that "hunter" ever hunted again?

Saw 29 yesterday and a fresh roadkill this morning on the freeway.
Here's a picture of a collared elk a few weeks before she was killed on I-90... was pregnant.

I hate to hear of a pregnant cow getting killed :(  I am pretty sure I saw a pregnant cow Monday! I saw 26 Monday morning. A late morning of scouting and a flat tire later,I love time spent in the hunting grounds.

Fishing Is For Fools and I saw a heard of close to 400 in central MT while antelope hunting 2 years ago.  They were coming down from the high country to winter.Hear in WA on the eastside maybe 200 and here on the west maybe 100.  The herd in MT had many LARGE bulls in the group too.
