Title: anyone know the elk in unit 101??
Post by: miah on September 04, 2009, 09:55:23 PM: I live in kettle falls and just wonder if anyone knows some good spots to check out. I have been all over the matsen crk. herd for a few years with no luck. I would really like to find out where to go around sheep creek or above orient somewhere. I have herd of them being up there but don't know any good locations. any advice would be awsome thanks.

Then it will cost you two cases of beer to get them drunk so they'll tell ya. Since its open to any tribal member I believe, that also hurts your chance.

(Not to mention the *censored* pot of grouse) and this is about as centerally located in the middle of GMU 101 as you can get as far as east and west, good luck finding them in there, it's really really hard !! Oh and it's thicker then a 2 day old crap !! ;)

It shows that the total for all weapons combined last year was 3 in ferry county and a total of 14 in Kelly hill. Not a real great return on a investment of a week. Even if a local or someone didn't report truthfully I don't think the numbers would be greater than 1 or 2 animals. for the respective unit's. Alladin,49 degrees both had a higher percentage. The Elk that were referenced to by Summit lake bounce back and forth across from Canada depending on the pressure up there and I spend a few days a year up there have never seen an elk around Summit. The elk season in BC is a 6 point or better hunt and used/or still is a permit draw

In 2007 there were 2 guys from I believe Oak Harbor show up in Kelly Hill got there late and made Coffee when it got light they wandered down the skid road and BAM shot a cow. The next year they had a small city of friends and had dismal results.
