Going for elk in the morning, not sure where yet. Either Lincoln (501) or Skookumchuck (667.) Don't really expect to see anything though.

Going to go out and check some cams and put a few more up. I will be dragging the powder pole around just incase I see a buck.

If Eric and the boys can't find a deer tell them they can always try fishing  :dunno: After all how many deer can you guys eat in one year? :P
Good luck!!

Mark hunting over on the Raymond side of hwy 105. Hopefully a nice bull or a buck. Friend saw a nice three point tonight crossing from the bay side of 105 towards some Ranier property, but I think the Ranier property is leased out to other hunters

We have some humpy's still in the freezer:). Brandon is VERY frustrated with the blacktail...VERY!!
Are you serious..we could probably eat 4 deer a year!! lol. With Eric being laid off, that is all we have been eating. We need to shoot some grouse, it's the closest thing to chicken that I will be eating for a LONG time...unless work gets better.  :'(

I hope you get something. When you hunt hard, you appreciate any animal you see or even come close to.

It should pick up for him in about a month.  I think Shell is going to take about 50 guys the first part of the year. I understand what you guys are going through. We have a baby due Jan 12th and that's about the time the Job I'm on is going to finish up.

Hunted this past week in 501. Jumped a few bucks in the repod, seen a few driving in and out during before/after shooting hours, seen sign here and there but nothing really positive hunting up high between 1500-2000 feet.

just waiting for archery to finish up so I can fill the last cow tag.  I chose to wait until the archery folks moved on. I shall write a great story when my season finishes on the 15 of Dec or when we drop our last elk.  Man I have seen so many elk hunting in the willipa hills,  have also talked to a lot of very helpful people while camping and hunting. ;)

We went out this morning. Got up early and went to walk in...HOLY SMOKES!!!!! Change of plans for the area. We should've just yelled " Hey Deer..here we come" never mind the loud a$$ people walking up this road covered in frozen leaves! They are Not here to shoot you:)
We had to go to another spot and walk roads that weren't covered in frozen leaves!!! Didn't see any deer. But, it wasn't for lack of effort.
