2022 Hanford pics?
dvolmer:
I worked at Hanford for 32 years in Radiation Protection. We surveyed the elk and there are some big ones out there. But the elk on the neighboring ranches are not near as big as the ones that live down along the river between the 100 and 200 areas of Hanford. Another big issue with the bulls on and off the reservation is the extreme high bull to cow ratio. This makes just about all of them broken up pretty bad if you are hunting anytime after or during the rut. When I say broken, I mean majorly broken. I have seen the 400 plus bulls on the site but they don't leave. The old Hanford and Whitebluffs town sites are on the river with all the feed, shelter, and cover they will ever need and no one can touch them. I think it was just a couple of months ago a Hanford worker was caught with just a shed antler and got in huge trouble and Im not sure but probably fired.

Does anyone know how many, in total, landowner elk tags the state issues to the different private property owners for unit 372?

A lot. Was down there on a fire a few years ago and talking to one of the ranch managers his particular ranch had 10 tags a year that they sold for 10k a piece. And he said he was on the low end for tag numbers

I couldn't find a link to the episode but worth a watch if you can find it. No freakish giants in it but he does take a nice bull here in Wa.
