Do elk bugle around the end of May or the First of June? At about 10:30 at night?
YES.

No, elk only bugle during the rut, in Sept/Oct. Sounds like someone may have been up there practicing. Either that or Bigfoot was there. :chuckle:
It's funny that you mention Bigfoot. There is a little more to this story. He was in the so called triangle from Mt. Rainier to Mt. Adams to Mt. St. Helens. Where the majority of Bigfoot sightings in this state have taken place. At about 10:30 at night my friend walks up to a log that was across the road and with a large 2x4 starts to smack this log a few times. This is supposed to be something that Bigfoot does. After he smacked the log is when he heard what he thought was Elk bugling. Then a couple of seconds later another bugle like sound from another direction. He or I have never heard of Elk bugling at night. So he really wasn't sure of what he had heard. :dunno:

Yes, both Bulls & Cows both can & do bugle year around, bulls are just mostly known for it!

Before Mt. St. Helens blew. That area was the hot spot for sightings. I have a book that was published in the mid 70's showing a map of high concentration of sightings around the mountain. If I remember right it had something to do with a densly grown over valley going from west to east. It has been a long time since I looked at the book.
Nothing to do with the close proximity to Seattle weekenders and the fact that in the 70's bigfoots (and tracks) were "popular" to find (from the coast, to Northport, to the Blues)... :dunno:

I dont have one with me right now, but if you look at page 33 in a Washington Atlas and Gazetter, on the north east corner of St.Helens (around Deadmans Lake (?)) you will see one, it looks like "Cousin It" with big feet !! :chuckle:

The Ape Caves on the south side of St. Helen's above the town of Cougar, was also a famous sighting/encounter location.
Not a believer myself........though I might keep some jerky handy just in case, lol

I figure somebody at the printing company snuck that thing in there without telling the boss. :)

I have the wrong Gazeteer, Page 33 is no where near Mt St Helens on mine.. WHat is the name of the lake..?I don't have my gazeteer available at the moment but someone thought is was Deadman's Lake. I thought it was next to Vanson Lake, but I can't remember for sure. Look 7-8 miles directly North of the Northwest arm of Spirit Lake. It looks like a caveman with REALLY big feet. :chuckle:
