Pend Oreille County Elk?

[Clinton]

Any tips on where to find elk in Pend Oreille County?  I spent three days scouting and three days hunting and did not see or hear anything.  I was west of Usk part of the time and above Bead Lake north of Newport also.  Thanks.

Glad to see you put your time in!! Had a cousin who worked for the PUD and was in the woods everyday and it took him about 10 years to figure them out.

I did find some sign but did not hear anything bugle.  That was the whole reason I did muzzle loader this year was to get close to the rut and find them by hearing them.  It is funny that elk are so hard to find in P.O. County, but easy to find across the border in Idaho.

It's darn tough up here, and there's not much you can do to make them bugle if they're not in the mood.

You might hear banjoes playing in that neck of the woods.

wolves = quiet elk. Good luck to you this weekend though.

Bead lake is a good area, I have gotten into elk close to there, they don't hang out there all season though, you gotta catch them when they come through.  One year they are there the next there not.  Keep trying.

Clinton, are you doing any calling? They are much easier to find when you can call and get them to respond. Muzzy season is right in the elk rut but they just don't run around screeming like you see on TV  You need to understand how they work and what makes them bugle. Even know that is tough in NE WA as there is lot of country and they are spread all over the place.

If you are not use to calling, try Elknuts web site and this forum for calling tips...

Good luck,
Fulla

No Elk in Pend Oreille County   They are all west! Just kidding!  If you serious about hunting one I would book with Sherman Creek Outfitter, he owns property up there and knows where the Elk are

I have been hunting up there for roughly 8 years, and it took me 3 before I found elk, and I still have yet to kill one.  35 yards last year during archery with no shot, and 60 yards this year was my closest with no shot.  It is a long difficult road to finding elk in the NE.
