Never seen a elk in Yelm. But ive seen many near the outskirts of the city. :bdid: to talk about elk in our backyards. I dont like drawing attention to what we have.Well that's too bad! These Elk are no secret, and most evey one knows that when it's huntin season these Elk will stay on private property and no where else to be found! Secert's been out for years. We love driving around looking at the Yelm and Kapowsin Heard! Post em if you have em.

Yelm has a HERD? Never seen a HERD out here before. Seen a few singles here and there and a few small groups of cows. I would say they are migraters looking for food. I have several large pieces of property i can hunt out towards vail (which is where these elk are coming from). I should stay home, eat toutle tag soup and put a hurtin on this HERD. Keep this post going! I want to learn more about this Yelm HERD! Thanks for pointing that out CAMPMEAT. I had some fun with that.

What times are ya'll seeing these elk, I've burning up some gas and only seen one small bull cross in front of me on Rainier RD coming back from Lacey one night bout 8:30. I've been looking with the kids during the day and no luck so far, really want them to see'em.
In my opinion i dont think you are going to be very successful finding a herd to look at. Im sure if you keep it up you will find a single or a few elk hanging together. They are just so far and few in between. Ive only seen one bear out here and he was haulin #@! accross the road. Dont get me wrong... i will burn some fuel lookin for critters myself. It is nice on the backside of Yelm. Kinda pretty in the evenings. This evening should be real nice if it is anything like last night. I concentrate on Ft Lewis if i want to find critters close to home. Good luck to ya :)

I go either Roy gate or go outta Yelm and hit Mounts rd to the 5 to north fort, I ain't seen jack.
As far as Lewis, I'm still new here and ain't quite figured out the back 40 yet like I had at Ft Campbell. I'm on getting my elf an obscenely blown up map of post and one's of each huntable training area. Once I get that done and get familiar with the area, I should increase my sightings. I've recon work :drool:.

Now, you just leave those Vail Road elk alone. ;)I don't hunt elk on this side of the mountains,but i sure do enjoy seeing them in the morning on the way to work.It helps keep the spirits up while at work.
