There are the local elk in the area and the migratorial elk. You will notice the cattle trails when the elk push threw
The cattle trails are there most of time.
They graise cattle up there in teh spring and all summer. I even see cattle in there durring early archery season in Sept :bash:
Nothing like sitting an area and have a herd of cows come mosieing by :bash:
Salt licks placed all over to keep the cattle close by :rolleyes:

planning on hunting around bald mtn, dont know if this is a good choice or not??
That'll be a tough one. Bald Mt is a war zone during the modern season. I've literally seen 20-25 trucks lined up on the side of the road with all of them hunting the Bald area.
The chances of success with a bow after the circus during rifle season is pretty slim IMO.
Thats if there are any elk left up there with all the snow that Chinook Pass is getting right now.

MF season is a circus up there, and the animals head out to the deep forest one the shooting starts. I have been there for both MF (years past) and early season this year.
It was not good place to hunt at all this year (early archery season).

Not sounding too promising. I hunted the rimrock unit in the early season and never seen an elk. Obviously I was in the wrong spot but There didn't appear to be much sign either. Guess I'll have to go back to the blues just a longer driveWhat area in the Blues during late archery?

Does the Nile unit have alot of elk? and is it more accessable in the late archery than the Naches unit
You will find more deer and elk in the Nile, but also a whole butt load of hunter. The biggest consetration oh hunters willl be in the Nile area. The Nile turns in to a small city durring late season :bash:
Your best bet, is to find a unit that is open for deer but closed for elk. The consentration of hunters will be a lot lower and you chance of success will be higher.
