crossing the crest

I was wondering with the east side general season being a week earlyer than the west, Do elk get pushed across the crest trail from the little naches (346) into the white river to escape the sea of orange I have heard so much about.

maybe a few that range right near the crest but I doubt they would travell to far to do that unless they winter on the west side .

I have seen them cross the PCT but they stay within 1/2 mile from what I've experienced. Mainly they stay on the eastside of the trail tho.

I'm sure it's a possibility.

Most the elk are already in the white river side plugger, once you see how open the little naches side is you'll see why. This is just in the area I talked to you about, I have no experience in any other area of little naches.

What part of 346 are you in sirmissalot? The areas that I have hunted in 346 are pretty thick steep and nasty.

The weather looks good so I will be up there sat where you suggested. Just trying to get a little insight on there behavior up there. I'm used to chasing swamp elk in the dickey. This high altitude stuff is new to me. Thank you everyone for the info.
