Title: Watt Canyon Feed Station
Post by: CJ1962 on December 23, 2018, 07:33:41 AM: Want to take the grandkids for a road trip and see some Elk. Has anyone been to the Watt Canyon feed station near Thorp recently? Any Elk?

TIA

if your wanting to see some elk suncadia feeds a small herd at the Nelson dairy. There’s no BIG bulls but several spikes and some rag horns. Mostly cows. Around 50 head.

Elk herds of 20-30 spread along that area every day of the week.

Also cross the river at Concrete and go towards Darington. Elk around the Ovenell Cattle Ranch.

I drive the Raymond highway 4 times a week and the elk have been scarce. ..there has been a herd heading towards Menlo in a farmers field for about 3 weeks now..they were there this afternoon
