Title: Elbe hills
Post by: Norman89 on January 03, 2021, 12:01:46 PM: Took these pics this morning in fresh snow of last night. Iv only seen a hand full of moose tracks before on the east side but I can't see these tracks being left by anything but a moose. Iv never seen an elk track this size before. My hand is near 9" long for comparison. Thoughts anybody

Sometimes animals have big feet. Lol

This is a picture of a Blacktail buck track we found this year. Biggest I've ever seen. My friend later in the season saw the buck that made this track. Giant 3x wide and tall in the Kitsap area.

Most the elk are up in copper creek that washed out last spring. Hike in access only due to the road and it's a nasty hike
