Title: 300 units late elk ??
Post by: NOCK NOCK on November 13, 2015, 10:28:06 AM: So in years past I have attempted this hunt on 4 different years, all in 328. N, S, E, & W. areas of the unit. Usually there has been snow from 2-12". In all these attempts I have never even seen an elk. (Thinking I suck as a late hunter :chuckle:) and very very few tracks spotted.
Feel like its a waste of time to even attempt it again. Does anybody see elk (on public land) on a regular basis during the late season in 328?

What other areas would you recommend? I Have been wanting to try some of the unit(s) closer to Eburg. or Yakima but never have, and know nothing about where to even start over there. :dunno:

PS: only have a day or two too hunt, used up to much VAC. early. :(

Post by: NOCK NOCK on November 15, 2015, 07:37:15 PM: I usually try to help out others when I can. I don't often ask for help, so thought I'd try. :dunno: I have the belief that there are very very few actual "secret honey holes" out there. I enjoy helping someone get an animal almost as much as getting one myself.

Thanks again to those who offered advice, as usual, good folks on here. :hello:

I have never been in there after Halloween so I am a little concerned with your experience. I may end up on the steep side of a learning curve all over again. I am not sure if I will be up there for opening or second weekend. I PM'd you my number, if you'd like, shoot me a text and I will let you know what i am seeing or not seeing. I really only know the the one drainage so if there not there , I'll be exploring.
