[Yelm hunter]

LET'S SEE WHAT PICTURES YOU GOT OF ELK IN YELM/ROY OR RAINIER.... I know there are some nice BULLS out in these areas cause I have seen them. Especially off Vail Road ( Yelm Side )  at a Friends House and in Rainier on Wearhauser property!!

I think there was a big bull in the garden dept working its way towards the pet food at Walmart

I scored a 300" bull from this area a couple years ago...huge and chunky, just how I like them.

Hunted that area all week (except saturday)....NOTHING!!!....I'm not even worried about a bull, I just meat in the freezer....where's the COWS!!??

There just aren't all that many elk in the area.  If you can find the cows this time of the year you'll find the bulls.  That's why there are some nice bulls.  Pretty thick and swampy in general, and few elk.

Hey bow4elk, are you talking about elk or women?

Is that the field over by 304? If it is i leave maybe a mile from there. I see them there all the time and every now and then they will be in the trees next door. Alot of times you can hear them bugle at night.

YELM and RAINIER are in Thurston County down By Olympia (20 miles away) And ROY is in Pierce County (20 miles) from Olympia. NOT up there Part of it is in Area 666 and 667

There are no elk here in Rainier, that cougar has chased them all away.  Nothing to see here, move on.  Actually the big 5x5 that was hanging around near my place mysteriously disappeared a couple of weeks ago.  We stopped seeing him right after my wife heard rifle shots at 11:30 pm across the street bordering Weyco land and a certain ranch named after a car brand.  Unfortunately there is a lot of poaching in this area and the herds are getting thin and very spooky.

Was gonna say...I've seen that 5x5 on the pipeline just out of Rainier a few weeks ago.......wierd thing I haven't seen very much sign this past week.

Yelm hunter....From Roy you can be in Rainier in less than 20 minutes...it's not that far....all of rainier is in 666 isn't it??  gotta get on the other side of the skook for 667?

[PolarBear]

507 is the dividing line for 667-666.  Everything North of 507 is 666, South is 667.  It pays to read the regs because I know of a couple of guys who were busted for taking spikes near Vail.  (3 pt+)

[robmill70]

I don't remember what 667 is (3pt min or antlerless??), but 666 is any elk.  Puyallup (652??) is any elk... At this point, not wanting to drive far, I'm just looking to take a cow, want some elk steaks!!....better eating anyway.

That first 6x6is a bad ass looking bull! To bad they always get poached before season around here
