Only hunted the alsea unit, sorry. My father owned property on the alsea river and we deer hunted it a lot. The elk there traveled in big herds, you would never see any resident elk. The elk would come in to his property, feed two weeks in his meadows until all the browse was gone & then move on never to be seen again. Kind of weird. I wouldn't mind going down but it coinsides with washington season to close.Good luck. Mike
