North Eastern Archery...Best Bets?

Bust,
Unless you know people who have property it will be hard. NE WA is mostly private and timber land, on the timber land you need permission and to get to the honey holes on public land you need to hike through private land.  Really hard up there. Good Luck!

I will disagree about the elk around mostly private. There is thousands and thousands of acres of state, forest and timber company land from mt Spokane to Canada to ferry county. I am into elk every year no where near private land. My buddies don't hunt private for elk, it's endless in this corner. I have yet to explore all of this corner , so much you could scout. Lots of people hunting??? Maybe rifle. I have hunted muzzy and archery here and barely see a hunter , I have one spot that I have never seen a elk hunter in 10 yrs, and u can drive right to it and hunt no packing into some honey hole LOL

I hunted there last fall . really thick. I only hunted two days in selkirk. there is elk there . You have to work for them . seems like a really good bull ratio.if your up to it look on molibdinite mountain or coyote ridge . I arrow a 6x6 from two yards . five miles in then i found the short cut also look out for grizzly I never thaught i'd have an encounter till i did . get ahold of me i'll give you some good info on it.Corey

Thanks for the replys.  I guess I got the info I was looking for from your responses...that the elk are scattered in small groups but they are out there and there isn't one area that is necessarily better than another.

Unfortunately I live in SW Washington.  I'm hoping to do a scouting trip in late July and  Google Earth will be my best fried for a night or two I suppose!

I put in for Montana every year but unfortunately didn't draw this year.   I also bowhunt eastern Oregon.

Thanks again for the responses, this site seems to be a great resource.
