Second location was in GMU 340, not exactly what I was hoping for. I haven't been in the area for a few years and the results were not what I was hoping for. It did yield in a couple of Does, 1 Cow Elk, 1 Mountain Goat and 1 torn up tree from a bear! I went in and all around the are looking for Elk and I am just a little discourage at my finding. Noticed a lot of sign but nothing fresh what so ever!
I may need a little help with the early season and a little rain might help out as well, Any suggestions?

I've been up this year a couple weeks ago and there were elk everywhere.

Where did you go up in 340?I went up Manastash road to Buck Meadows looked all around in the trees and drainages, backed out and went up Taneum Road down through 3330 to Gnat Flats and went all through the trees and drainages as well. The only ell that I saw was on the way out down low.

that tree looks tore up by pecker heads they can do some serious damage I've watched them fling hunks of stumps not just punch holes :yike:I was wondering about that tree! I'm not sold on that being a bear as I saw no other sign of bear on the ground or around the area. In the first unit I was in I know it was bear tearing up the stumps.

So the road must be fixed.
We went in thru Taneum and all the way up to Quartz.

If this fire jumps I90... this thread will be meaningless.... that whole area (in the words of cheech and chong) will "go up in smoke" :bdid: :bash:
Do you know a good website to check this out?

If that happens I'm gonna see if I can just turn in my tag for a refund and give that money directly to a displaced family...

The fire came close to crossing the why at sunlight waters. But it isn't going to go any further the fire in that area is out. There was someone who set a few fires the same day as the taylor bridge fire. Up off of westside rd. they were put out pretty quick. I have a muzzy cow tag for the taneum I was hoping it wasn't going to jump 90.Same here on the fire! I now will be going the last 3 days of he early season, no other time off since being off work for 5 month do to my issues/surgery.
