Title: Elk area 6014
Post by: Todd6117 on June 16, 2020, 06:57:41 AM: I got drawn for the late Puyallup cow elk tag. Way late: Feb. 11-28. I meant to only put in for the Green river cow elk tag and erase the Puyallup tag, but I forgot. Of course, I get drawn for it. If anyone has any info on private land access I would appreciate it. I am willing to pay a fee for access.

Good luck.

Agreed.

A cow killed in October is likely already pregnant, just not as obvious.

It's not noticeable unless you go looking.
