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

You must be mistaken as there are no elk in the Blues either ...... You must be thinking of the Colocum  :tup:
That's right...I'm always getting those two confused  8)

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.
-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!

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.


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

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.

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  :bdid:

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.. :tup:
Their going down!!!

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.
