Post by: Angus on August 14, 2013, 10:50:25 PM: Found a couple in the Lewis River unit that will probably be long gone by 9/3, 1 of my co-workers had a herd of 23 elk in her backyard in Woodland this morning that included 1 legal bull, she doesn't think the neighbors would appreciate me setting up a tree stand in her apple trees. :chuckle:
