What are elk eating now

[Tbob]

So I’ve got a hunt planned next week in the high cascades. I’m just curious is there a certain food source to concentrate on for elk up in the cascades this time of year? Thanks!

Sounds good. Appreciate all the great advice. I’ll walk the woods looking for p😀ssy then since no one can enlighten me on a food source. Good luck everyone

I would say grass. That's pretty much what they always prefer to eat, if it's available.

 After years and years bowhunting elk in the Gifford Pinchot old growth, I would say vine maple, devils club leaves, liquorice root,
mushrooms, grass and lichens when they can get them.
Pretty much anything green growing on the forest floor but in old growth vine maple and elk are inseparable.

Depends on the area the elk are in, lower elevation grass areas, timber the stuff bunny thumper said.

Not a horrible pursuit! If porcini/king boletes are up, they walk along and eat the tops, regardless of how rotten or wormy. They actually stay away from the smaller, firm, choice boletes. In those areas, their scat is very loose/watery.

Also chanterelles.  At our place it’s always a race to find the chanterelles before the local elk gobble them up.

If they haven't already stripped them, elk LOVE elderberry leaves...most likely a bit earlier than now though
