YELM ELK

[Yelm hunter]

Has anyone seen any ELK in the last few weeks in Yelm?

[kenbell27]

I have not seen anything except a spike and some Cow/Calves. I have not seen the big Bulls since last Winter.

Great, my girlfriend has 20acres off of Scott Turner Rd, Maybe they will show up over there.

Hit the Fort lewis area around Tenino, and you may find some, if not they may still be up in the Vale unit by the skookumchuck river, it is a little ways out of Yelm but there are a few nice ones around that area.  You should be able to create a good article from there.

Really?? They all got poached?? I just think they moved over towards thompson creek rd SE, they usually move up in that area this time of the year, towards late season they will drop back down. Then you will be happy 

[bucklucky]

Nope really, 25 elk got poached today, they had Thompson creek rd blocked off for the investigation. Cows , calves , and a few small bulls. All blowed up and left to rot. AL the elk are dead. 1 lone survivor was an old gimpy cow. Poor girl. I gues the elk hit a mine field that was set up in the 70's. Looks like they also found a few holes with pungy sticks also  and a tunnel system that led to vietnam. Sounds like a terrible place to try and find elk as you may step on an old land mine and blow yourself up.

This just in, the old gimpy cow hit a trip wire and got blown up also. I dont know whats going on with the skookumchuck.

Now thats funny!!!!

bucklucky would not lie, all the elk dead, no fish left in the skook and it is poluuted with PCB's. All the Turkeys died of turkey STD's. For your own safety stay away.

Exactly Bofire, no way Id tell a fib. Id go to the winston as there are always elk there and no boobie traps whats so ever and you dont have to worry about stepping on a land mine. Sasquatch is all you have to deal with there, but hey, they arent that bad. A little rough and have a pretty musty smell and there breath is terrible, wipe there a55 with there hand (nop toilet paper) and the worst thing is ......... well I wont say

[kenbell27]

Actually i was down there today, we have elk on the property alot. there is about 5 acres of wetlands on the property and they love the bedding in there. I found cougar tracks along one of the roads in the mud this afternoon.

yep lots of cougars in that area for some reason. Everytime I have fished the skook I always stumble across tracks in there.

The cougar tracks were up at Scott Turner in eatonville.

[BLKBEARKLR]

O never been that way, I was totally out of place on that one. I was talking about the skookumchuck. Sorry.

Joe

[kenbell27]

I have heard there was a lot of cougars around skookumchuck, but never seen one or its sign. I bet they have seen me up there though.

[bucklucky]

Damn cougars need to get killed. Too many of them.

[DoubleJ]

Last year on my way to Doty, I was passed by a Toyota pickup on southbound I5 just north of Chehalis with a cat strapped to the roof.  Bed had a bull in it.  Good trip for that guy.

[actionshooter]

I've been out skookumchuck way a bunch lately and haven't seen sheet for elk, I'll have to make sure I'm looking out for bucklucky's non-locals traps though.

How in the HECK do turkeys get STDs?

[PolarBear]

Had 14 elk in the pasture this evening and not branched bull in the bunch.  All of the branched bulls were poached out between seasons last fall.

[bucklucky]

I have been out hiking the hills this year quite a bit , more than the past 3 years combined and have only found 1 branched bull. I dont get it . I guess that is why I dont hunt the skook anymore, waist of time.

[Antlershed]

I heard all the Elk around Tenino packed up and went to the Blues 

[bucklucky]

You must be mistaken as there are no elk in the Blues either ...... You must be thinking of the Colocum

That's right...I'm always getting those two confused

-I bet there are more lions around Skookumchuck,Tono area's then anywhere in the state! Are damn deer are going extinct and the Elk are right behind them! It aint good!

Did the branched bull you see have a messed up antler on one side?

[DoubleJ]

Where in the chuck would I go to find one of these cougars?

[Alan K]

I've seen 3 cougars in my life, and two of them were in the Skookumchuck.  The other was up around Grisdale. 

I think it's just because there is so many damn animals in there there are so many cats.

Ya broke off just above teh g-2.

[Antlershed]

I've only seen one cougar in my life and it was laying on a gravel bar in the middle of the Skook up by the Pheasant release site. Kind of a crappy feeling when you step out within 100 yards and all you have is a fishing pole 

[Elkpiss]

Hit the Fort lewis area around Tenino, and you may find some, if not they may still be up in the Vale unit by the skookumchuck river, it is a little ways out of Yelm but there are a few nice ones around that area.  You should be able to create a good article from there.

  Bull$hit, I would check out in the Michelle Unit, more towards Ording, Kapowisn.. The Skuckumchuck Indians shot most the heard up in the last several years.. I think you could write a good article about elk I think its around Eatonville, I think the place is called NorthWest Trek..

[Elkpiss]

Where in the chuck would I go to find one of these cougars?

  Right after Gobel RD, there is a big Yellow House to your left, I think there is a cougar that lives there.. Go check it out and let us know what you find!..

I kind of have a feeling my wife would not like me bringing that cougar home

[bucklucky]

I really dont think it is just the skook that has had a higher number of cougars, seems everywhere I go I am seeing more sign and hearing of more sightings.
