Post by: PlateauNDN on September 08, 2017, 03:48:21 PM: Likely ytc. Tank range is n.e. corner of ytc, other side of ridge just south of kittitas.

Post by: Pegasus on September 08, 2017, 07:40:52 PM: The booming sounds you hear are bull elk. I remember hearing the same noise in 1981. When I went to investigate the sound I found a huge 10 point elk slamming his antlers into the large trees preparing for the rut. Every hit would send off a large boom that would echo for many miles. A little further down the ridge was an 11 point elk doing the same thing. He must have weighed as much as a large moose. Unfortunately the season was not open until the following day, and needless to say, I went home empty handed that year. Someone in the Colockum area will hopefully take home a record monster elk this year. Follow the booms.

Post by: predatorG on September 09, 2017, 04:37:29 AM: I seem to remember something about and endless hole near eburg with spacemen regularly using it as a landing spot. We need to acknowledge the fact that this is not war games or drilling, but in fact a clingon invasion. Perhaps they have collaborated with the lovely people in Olympia and are using it as a transplant point for wolves and hunters whose sole tool is a hoochie mama and an inability to avoid other people. No friends, this is not Japan, but something far, far more serious >:(

Some of the guys I know would claim to have seen this happen back in the 80's when all the elk would congregate in one area forming really large herds.

Post by: dirty24d on September 16, 2017, 12:46:50 PM: I heard it too for a few days , sounded like artillery.

Post by: coastalyeti on September 27, 2017, 02:26:38 PM: Locals usually call it: "Squatch-Gas..."
Happens when the Bigfeet stumble into unwashed camp dishes with chili still in them.
Then they experience Gassoprofundo, that can shake the ground when expelled by a large specimen. Commonly called: "BigFart."

Glued the lock? What kind of person does that? Are they jealous of the access a disabled hunter gets?
