I don't know the area real well.  I use to hunt the upper part of the Skokomish, for deer and would see Elk sign but no Elk.  I would scout around the Dosie Wallops  You can look around up by squirm but there is a lot of private land up there and The Elk hang pretty close to the Nat. Forest Boundary once they start being pressured.  See if you can get a hold of a Region 6 Biologist and see if they have any recommendation.  Region 6 HQ is Montesano.

Happy Hunting

Try visiting the ranger station up there, don't wear camoflage.  Tell them you are camping, and want to get the kids into to see some elk. Maybe they can help.

The elk are there.
