Filling a tag in the Northeast corner
« on: August 12, 2011, 04:44:12 PM »
 I am moving to the Spokane area and have a muzzy tag for eastern Elk. I am wondering if i can get pointed in the right direction to be away from huge crowds of people and in an area that has decent numbers of elk. im not worried about trophy potential right now just want to put meat in the freezer. also i am very willing to pack into an area to get away from people, units ive been looking into so far are, 111,113,108 any help is much appriciated

HuntHigh,

Welcome to the forum. Do a search on the northeast corner as those elk are not easy to find and people are not very willing to give up their areas because it took a lot of footwork to find them.

You will want to do a lot of scouting and searching yourself to try and locate some elk to hunt. the more work you put in and are Findlay with them you will get more info in the area.

Good luck,

Fulla

There are no Elk in the units you mentioned!!  All Elk went west!!! No ELK EAST!!!  You have to go to the west side to hunt elk.   ;)

The last time I saw an elk around here was after the pigs ate my brother.....So, anyhow, I'm taking up donations to fund my welfare hunt to Idaho for wolves in October.

Have you taken a look at the harvest reports? Your chances of being successful is very very slim. :twocents:

Yes I have. They haven't been hunted since 09. I think that's why they lowered the tag prices. Too many now.

these areas are tight lipped...elk hunting can be great in spots. there isnt huge crowds really anywhere in NE corner for muzzy or archery. I have hunted the area for almost 20 years and have mu honey holes that only a select few know about
