Title: No dogs found in the Colockum
Post by: fremont on January 01, 2011, 12:11:52 PM: A group of us spanned out across the Cooke Canyon/Colockum Rd area yesterday (down fairly low) and heard some dogs yipping but no tracks, scat, etc. No deer or elk either (but I assume they're over in the 329 Quilomene heading toward the peace & quiet of the reserve by the river :rolleyes:).

Beautiful cold day but disappointed we couldn't call in anything.

Cats, yes (at least Ive seen em and shot at a few), but dogs...never! I always here em during elk season...they even come by shortly after I call and laugh at me in one gully... :chuckle: :bash:

Better luck next time!

Speaking of cats, came across a cool cat trail. Fairly steep embankment with paw marks coming down. When it reached the level ground of the trail (which had 12"-15" of snow on it), you could clearly see the 4"-5" width track where the tail dragged.

Oh, yeah, speaking of snow....bring snowshoes! We weren't so smart.
