Title: 340 is quiet
Post by: jason stevens on September 11, 2016, 12:49:07 PM: Hunted east of watt and found zero sign of elk. Lots of deer but no elk. Know of 1 cow taken and nothin else. Crossed the highway and found water,green grass and elk. No shooters but some good bulls even had a 2x2 at ten yards . That was fun and will back in there in a couple days.good luck everybody.

It was a little better on the nile side, had some action over there. The East Side Elk Mafia has drawn blood again, one cow down Saturday so far. It will get better.

Sunday morning we had elk talking all around us but no shooters would show themselves.

Post by: JKEEN33 on September 17, 2016, 11:29:44 AM: Had this guy close Saturday and Sunday. Partner with the same tag had him at 15 yards Sunday, but could not get a shot. Dead quite after Sunday and people everywhere. Came home and eating the tag.
