Late Elk in the Nile
« on: December 05, 2011, 09:29:06 AM »
Spent the last weekend in the Nile with a fellow bowhunter. I saw all my elk in the Randle/Packwood area from Hwy 12 coming and going. About 100 head I'd guess.
My partner saw elk and deer both days in the Nile. I did have a nice 4x4 muley walk up to within 3' of me. Kinda neat. Very tough snow conditions but otherwise a beautiful weekend in the woods. Probably got a good 5 miles of still hunting in both days. Great to be out there.
Anyone else hunt the Nile late? Success? Stories?

I was up there this weekend drivng the Barbie Jeep  :tup:

Seen elk everyday last weekend but one elk this weekend. The elk and hunbters have moved out of the area, thats for sure.

Did see a 2 point and 4 point Sat. morning. Dont have a deer tag but tried to help the next giuy that came down the road get him but it disapeard on us, I seen a deer cross over to the next finger ridge down the raving but I did not know if it was the  2 or 4 point buck, so we did not push it  :dunno:

Did  not see a single thing Sun. after sitting, watching a bench, and a hill side for a few hours before I headed home.

Talked to a few guys that were there all week and they didn't see ant elk sence Wed.
