If you plan on hunting 633 you should change them :twocents: hope that helps. If your looking for a place to hunt elk near Shelton I would look toward the wynoochee

:yeah: 99% of the elk are west of shelton closer to 561. Basically on the border. There are a few pockets of small herds here and there between shelton and matlock, not really worth chasing IMO.

Had a broken antler and cut them off when they relocated him. The rumor was they relocated him on Green Mt or the Bremerton Watershed. Larry Stokes had a funny look on his face when I asked him. There was also a cow elk with a few others that got hit just north out of Shelton headed towards Belfair near Mason rd.

Post by: Eli346 on June 30, 2013, 05:48:54 PM: Used to see McDonalds herd out there all the time until the Indians decided to shoot them up about 8 years ago. Now they're hard to find in the fields and they pretty much stay up on Port Blakely land. I can find them but don't have the time with a 12 day hunt to get one. All walk in and it's quite a ways back in.
