Most people do their homework and it says that unit has more kills and public land then any other..... "ENOUGH SAID"

People are asses every where, you just hear about it there more because there are more people from the cities that hunt there and are on the internet.

Post by: rebal69972 on September 15, 2010, 09:03:05 PM: i completely agree with doing your homework. But i was at a bit of a disadvantage with this being my first year in WA and elk hunting. i was told there where alot of elk there and i scouted it and done some bear hunting there and saw several nice bulls but we all live and learn. thank you all
