Title: Elk herd while driving - GMU 651
Post by: solomtnhunter on September 04, 2015, 07:45:54 PM: I drive for a living and am pretty much always glassin. Not much of an elk hunter, more whitetail. But maybe someone could use this helpful tip. Anyways saw decent size herd around 2pm today out in Skookum Valley on Hwy108 & W Eich Rd. Think GMU is 651.... Don't know much about the area but figured someone might find this info useful. So in case you're feeling little down cause ya ain't seen any activity. Well here ya go, YES they are out there :tup:
