Title: 554 Yale area
Post by: shatch75 on August 29, 2016, 10:17:39 PM: I am hunting west side muzzleloader this year and have been scouting the green mountain area south of lake merwin. I saw a lot of deer tracks but no elk sign. Have any of you seen any elk up there? I'm wondering if it is worth continuing or if I should look somewhere else.

I'd look at everything that borders the Toutle, you'll likely need a Weyerhaeuser pass :hello:

Post by: shadowless_nite on September 04, 2016, 04:57:42 PM: Was out there Thursday for deer opener and happened to stumble on a lone spike out on green mountain. Out of all the years going up there and hearing rumors of elk I finally saw one. Followed it around a bit just to see if there were anymore but it was just a young and dumb one that didn't know how to stick to the private property.

Like was said.... Northside of the unit. Yale toutle boarder, rock creek, not a secret and you won't be alone.
