Title: Mcleary Elk Herd
Post by: BowForElk on December 16, 2012, 11:26:06 PM: So I used to live there many years ago and remember seeing lots of elk off Mox-Chehalis rd and have heard lots of rumor from different people that all the elk got trapped and released in yakima for the tribes. I dont know if any of this is true or if they got released somewheres else or if they are still there! Does anybody got any info on this?

Thanks!
