Title: Any Archery Guys Around Washougal Area Stuggling to Find Elk... PM Me!
Post by: BullPacs on September 13, 2015, 12:47:04 PM: Ran into a herd last week in a great spot to hunt. Close to the road with easy access. It was a small herd with at least one bull. After we bumped him, he came walking back to us... would have been a sweet archery shot. Probably no big bulls, but a great opportunity for someone that would be happy with any elk.

I'll hook the first guy up that PMs me. You can buy me a cup of coffee and I'll hand deliver a map with some ideas on how to hunt it.

Hope everybody has a great archery season out there, in spite of all the fire closure issues!!!

I've found elk, but they're hanging out on a private ranch. Is a great area, but until the ranch starts thinning the herd when their clients show up, the elk just stay there. Drop a few and they head for the mountains again.

Private property of course. Was another nice bull maybe half a mile away.
