I'll tell you what, I work there, and these bulls are miles from the bordering ranch/farm land.  In the rising moon picture, you're looking at the White Bluffs in the background, which is on the Franklin County side of the Columbia River.  I'd venture a guess that most of these pics are within 2 miles of the Columbia.

My father in-law that lives is Moxee (about 40 miles west of hanford) said he saw a nice 6x6 on the east ridge of Union Gap grazing about 15 years ago while he was working for WSP.  I believe they do wonder off just not too reguarly... If they do your going to pay out the a$$ or be a youth to hunt them.

I agree, this particular group of elk will most likely never be off the res.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but who picks up the bulk of these sheds?  Hanford workers?  There's quite a few years now of the big boy laying somewhere........ :dunno:

thats good, Im glad they give damage tags to landowners for crop damage, instead of the *&#*# so called master hunter unit by me, were (master hunters) kill most of the problem elk.

Nice looking bulls.  How much more growth would you have scene in the racks from May to the end of July?
