Title: Moose in the Entiat
Post by: highside74 on November 05, 2015, 12:26:32 PM: A friend was in the Entiat last week and picked up a moose shed and while looking for the other side they ran into a bull moose feeding. Do you think the wolves are causing moose to work west seeking refuge?

From what I've heard, there is moose everywhere. They been spotted around chelan, swimming the Columbia just up river from the dam. Heck I've seen tracks in the Mad river drainage before (more towards the headwaters though)
They also been spotted I believe around lake cle elum as well

Agreed, it's not always the wolves.
