Title: was the west klick slow for everybody or just me?
Post by: logger on November 28, 2010, 06:47:23 PM: Hell, a track was even hard to come by. I have a muzzy cow tag and it looks like I might be eatin the damn thing.

Plus when there's a lot of snow the guys down in West Klickitat kill a lot of elk, mostly cows. So it could just be that there aren't as many as there used to be.

West Klick was changed to a three point minimum unit now. Cut down a lot of pressure during the modern season. Although there were a handful of guys with blackpowder pushing things around today.
