Title: Place to hunt on the westside
Post by: SSGLuke on November 02, 2010, 09:33:00 AM: I am stationed at JBLM and recently returned from deployment. I am looking for advice on where to hunt for elk on the westside. My buddy and I could use any help that could be given to us. Thanks for your help.

Wish I Could be of more help, but if I knew a really good spot with very few other hunters, I'd be there myself. As the previous person said, you can't go wrong in the 520 GMU. Unless you want to get away from people. In that case, you'd be better off going where there are less elk. Perhaps you could try the west side of the Olympic Peninsula.
