Title: Fort Lewis Elk
Post by: jimkrueg on February 02, 2011, 07:26:50 PM: Has anybody on here seen or heard of elk on the Ft. Lewis reservation near Rainier? There are a couple of Ft. Lewis GMUs out there that are pretty close to Vail. I'm thinking about west side archery for elk this season.

Thanks, Jim
