Westside Elk Bestwishes

To all come daylight this Saturday. Best of luck, hunt smart and be safe. And above all else, respect your fellow hunter and the ever elusive elk.

I'll be out there this w/e. My first time hunting elk on the west side, I hope to do better and see fewer people than on the other side. Not that I don't enjoy all of you fine peeps company, I'm just sayin, I'm hoping for better luck outside the pumpkin patch! :chuckle: And if lucks not on my side then I still have my Coweeman cow tag to hunt in January. Anyone out there ever draw/ hunt that tag? If you would please let me know what to expect. Good luck to all.    Mark

Ripper, my wife and my son had the January Coweeman tag these last 2 years. It was a great hunt for each of them and they each got their first elk. Lots of encounters. If I had the tag, I would use a handgun to add to the fun. We made some pretty close sneaks that would have been great for a short range weapon.

I took my motorhome out to the westend on Monday and noticed alot of gated roads from forks to the upper hoh road are closed. the red white and blue signs all over stating no trespassing. In the past the signs said walk in only. now its nothing at all. Not sure why. Everyone be safe and have fun.  :dunno:

I'll take a guess,

trespassers going around signs (quads)
trash dumpers
poachers
vandalism
theft
More and more locked gates every year, shouldn't be hard to figure out why!
