Title: GMU 621 “Olympic” Muzzleloader Elk
Post by: RidgeRunner51 on June 12, 2021, 02:10:06 PM: Good afternoon all,
This is my first special drew ever and am hoping to find some locals or guys familiar with this unit. I have read every thread and post on this topic, there are no resent posts regarding success or decent areas to look. I am just hoping for some tips on a general vicinity to start scouting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be sure to update and keep people informed as the season gets closer and if I am successful or not. Thank you all in advance

Try Mt Jupiter and up along the Hamma Hamma and Duckabush
Lots of elk on the dosewallups as well
Good luck

That sign is up by Sequim. Not Brinnon.
Up Dosewallops you might try knocking on doors for possible access. I have a place up Rocky Brook and have them in my yard occasionally.

Heck, they walk around town and in the parks all the time.

Can't tell you how many times I've seen 50 or 60 on the school playground.
