I was driving home from duck hunting in the Columbia basin last weekend and right below the windfarm as I was climbing up the hill out of Vantage going westbound there was a herd of 50-100 elk about 150 yards from the freeway. It was a pretty cool sight but the crazy part was that I had a good 5-10 seconds to see them as I drove and couldn't put a set of horns on a single elk. Not one!

I started to think that they might have dropped their horns already but then realized it is only January so that wasn't the case...

This time of the year bulls are by themselves or with other bulls, and cows with cows, so don't be discouraged only seeing cows.

May dad saw a nice bull last weekend just north of I-90 by Ryegrass (he saw it from I-90).

I agree and thought about that and have my fingers crossed that the big boys are off on their own but that is a whole other topic in itself.

There hasn't been a bull with that group all winter the bull are in a little honey hole

Saw the same herd last week. There was a raghorn bull and a spike with them then, but only those two. Like was said earlier, the bulls will be all bachelored up together somewhere.
I also drove through Hanford the same day and saw that herd. Had to be over 1,000 elk. Only saw about 7 bulls. All small raghorns and spikes. Most of the raghorns were busted up too.

colockumelk · « **Reply #6 on:** January 21, 2011, 06:17:17 PM »

No there were not any bulls because there are no bulls in the Colockum. Usually around August any bulls in the Colockum tend to migrate to the Blues. See Pathfinder you have finally seen the truth for yourself. You can trust me, I'm an officer and therefore would never lie.

They couldn't migrate to the Blues, because Bigfoot would eat them. Bigfoot has eaten ALL of the elk in the Blues, bulls, cows, calves....

...don't make me show the pictures...

colockumelk · « **Reply #8 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:05:14 AM »

Yeah and because you Walls Walla pukes did such a poor job with controlling your big foot population they spread to the Colockum and ate all our elk.

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:24:50 AM »

OK Mr. Expert, YOU try coming down here and "controlling" the Bfoot population.

This is a picture of the last researcher that tried that... Poor *censored* stopped to take a grumpy in front of one of my trail cams. Never saw it coming....

Honestly, not only is in unproductive to come down here and try to hunt elk, it is now so dangerous that you shouldn't even get out of your truck....

I'd travel that far too to avoid Sasquatch. The blue mountain boys coulda stopped the spread of Sasquatch but they're a bunch of sissies and just road hunted for them. Sasquatch doesn't Ned much to have a population explosion. They breed like rabbits.

@pathfinder. That's all I have. I submit to your superior smack talking abilities. You have truly gone above and beyond.

It's impossible now days for them to migrate back to the Blues.
The wolves in the Desert unit would eat all of them.

We will prevail on this one. I hope you know that

I am sure Pathfinder would agree with me here.

I think I heard the desert wolves lastnight howling. They must be after the migrating bulls. I too am an officer, there is iron in my words.

halflife65 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 01, 2011, 03:39:58 PM »

Whatever. I saw Pathfinder with a bigfoot tied up in the back of his Datsun 210 drive into the Colockum in the middle of the night. I saw him drive out with no bigfoot on a donut tire. I don't know if he had a bad experience releasing it and it ate the tire off of his sweet ride but I know he came out with no bigfoot.

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:17:51 AM »

Wow, this thread took off again while I was out of town going thru the retirement process...

OK, so that was not me in the Datsun with the Bfoot strapped to the hood. That was ColockumElk with a decoy. He is setting them up in the Colockum to keep people out of the area, it's as simple as that. I have contacts in the area that can probably come up with some pictures if need be...
As someone who has had several hand-to-hand-combat experiences with Bfoot, I can tell you that there is no way to take one alive, particularly for a commissioned officer (not to mention a pilot).
At some point, I am sure that Bfoot will migrate to the Colockum (especially now that his primary food source in the Blues is gone), but for now it is still the best place in Washington state to draw a big bull elk tag, is a Bfoot-free-zone (except for the decoys that Colockumelk is dragging out there in his Datsun), and literally is teeming with 400"+ bulls, and is an easy tag to draw.
Good luck in the drawings boys...

colockumelk · « **Reply #26 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:29:01 AM »

I would love to see the pictures of me doing setting up decoys. As far as capturing big foot alive. I'm not dumb enough to try and capture big foot alive. Us commissioned pilots are smart enough to find them with our Kiowas and shoot them out our door with an M4.

As far as Pathfinder's "stories" of hand to hand combat with bigfoot. I think he's just having flashbacks of his days as a bachelor chasing girls at the local bars.

Woodchuck · « **Reply #27 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:31:45 AM »

Now you are busted, an m-4 would never take a Bfoot even a non-com knows that

colockumelk · « **Reply #28 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:01:31 AM »

Sheesh I didnt' think I'd have to explain my tactics. I figured it would be an implied task. The M4 is just to slow bigfoot down, Then you swoop up and dive down on him and use either the .50 cal mounted on the left or the 7 shot 2.75" rocket pod mounted on the right. I think flechettes would probably work the best.

C-Money · « **Reply #29 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:07:00 AM »

Run bigfoot out in the open and swoop down and hit the afterburner and toast him. The jet wash and the heat should take him out! The Airforce cant stress enough to stay away from the engines on their aircraft cause they will kill you!

I have nothing to add to this SORRY! after pathfinders pics I have gave up hunting my life is worth to much to me!
But you guys feel free to keep at it I love seeing the pics and hearing the plans you all have

Hypothetically speaking if I was to go back out into the woods I would have to go around the colockum area it appears to be safe in that area ( no better proof than pics

)

colockumelk · « **Reply #31 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:56:28 AM »

If you need pictures for evidence 400out. I just found some interesting infor about Pathfinder that I posted on another thread in the elk forum. Very incriminating indeed.

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 02, 2011, 05:18:56 PM »

Ok, I called one of my contacts in the Colockum (I have several contacts there, since it is without doubt the best elk hunting in the state, and I don't have the time to get over there to scout it-though it really doesn't matter, as there are 400" bulls behind nearly every tree there). He sent me this picture. Now, I can't say for sure that it is Colockumelk, but I was told that the person in the picture carrying the Bfoot decoy was singing the Marine Corps Hymn, and was stopping every couple of hundred yards and making the Bfoot decoy salute him...

For the record, you can tell that it isn't a real Bfoot if you know what to look for. Look at the eyes: there is not enough hate in them for it to be a real Bfoot...

colockumelk · « **Reply #35 on:** February 02, 2011, 07:17:59 PM »

Okay I'll admit to it. That's me in the picture. Yes I have a bigfoot decoy. I can't deny it. You have all seen that picture. That's definately me. But let me tell you why I have a bigfoot decoy. You see as I've said before in another thread Pathfinder has been training and feeding bigfoot for quite sometime. And I knew that he had a plan to plant them in the Colockum to destroy the Bighorn sheep population. Because despite what Pathfinder says there are no elk in the Colockum for bigfoot to eat.

So I made a decoy in hopes that I could lure a bigfoot out and I could tranquilize him and bring him in as evidence so I could take down Pathfinder and the BMM once and for all. To really expose them. But because of my efforts my good name is now being smeared all over the place.

Plus think about this. Why exactly does Pathfinder have his "contacts" aka Blue Mountain Mafia spying on me.
