Post by: Crunchy on November 28, 2008, 05:12:17 PM: Ya I was camped down there for 3 days. Saw elk on all three days in deep timber where they are not bothered by road hunters. Speaking of road hunters. I read on this site how bad it was in that unit (Winston), but you really have to be there to actually experience it. Never seen worse.

Post by: billythekidrock on November 29, 2008, 06:09:31 PM: No elk for us. We saw elk every day but one. We put in between 5 and 15 miles a day behind the gates. It was a mixed deal for me though. I don't care about not getting one because now I don't have to do the rest of the work. But man, hunters are slobs. Garbage, beer cans, candy wrappers and why would anyone pack a whole roll of tp out in the woods?

I did find a nice elk shed and took another pic of a porky. I will post those later.

I had just taken off my boots, walked through an Alder swamp and stepped up onto a soggy old growth Cedar. The elk were on my left at 50 yards and I happened to look to the right and at about 10 yards I saw the top two points. After the herd busted I went back to pick up my boots and swung by to grab it. When we got back to our packs we took some pics because I didn't want to pack it out, but I did anyways.

We saw this porky walking along a grade and decided to take a couple pics.

I found this small Cauliflower mushroom about two miles in and didn't want it bad enough to pack it out.

Post by: Basket Rack on November 30, 2008, 09:14:43 AM: Nice shed, that is a good bull for the Winston. I have bowhunted that area in the late season for 20+ years it is amazing the amount of archery hunters that hunt that unit now.
