Title: Any info on Mashel???
Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on May 15, 2007, 08:49:43 PM: Looking at new ML opportunities.
Don't need honey holes, but would like any info on the unit. It is a long drive for a scouting session. Big bulls come from the unit so i have heard.

Vancouver to there is a few hours and alot of fuel.
I see that only about 100-150 hunters in there during ML, and it looks inviting. Are the bulls hard to find? Why is it any elk??? That says to me that you will have a hard time finding elk???
Just wondering.

Unlike HatesMe, Mashel is relatively close to me and was going to look into it until I seen only 6 elk that came out of there last year (I think). Scouting the Mashel and Skook area around Alder Lake would be very convenient for me.
