the hood canal NO!!!!!! there are a few herds but they stay on private land....i see them just past the Little Creek Casino when heading west but the drainages to the Skok,Wynoochee, Satsop yes there a few but nothing to get excited about.I live in Shelton we have some nice blacktail but elk are pretty much a waste of time......Head to St.Helens or Mt. Rainer instead of wasting time hunting the canal for elk...
