It's loaded with all sorts of the stuff we like to argue about such as Tribal harvest, effects of road density etc. Here's a hint: Road Density had a direct impact on harvest. And the WDFW uses the politically correct term "nontrivial" to describe the effect that Tribal harvest has on the elk herd down there.
Woodchuck, Pathfinder, runamuk and 400out, I may have been silently lately but I've still got my eye on your evil organization. You may have won this round but I'll be back. The truth will be HEARD!!!!

Duh! Reduce roads and make it harder for hunters and poachers to access them then harvest will decrease. Did we really need to waste state dollars on this?
We praise the Blue Mountain elk herd and we drool over the permits to hunt those elk yet we blast the science that made that herd what it is? What should they have done, just let nature take it's course? Right....come on, man, give me a break.

Despite what the BMM likes to pretend, the effects of bigfoot are wholly felt in Kittitas County and the Colockum elk herd. As we all know by now, there are no longer any elk in the Colockum. Despite the concern about elk mortality in the Blues, at least there are some elk there that can actually die. Elk mortality in the Colockum is now 0% because there are no elk left there that can die and contribute to the statistics.
Quit pretending, runamuk. We've all seen your BMM tattoo.

NO, NO, NO - there is a VERY GOOD reason why bigfoot wasn't mentioned in the Blue Mountain report. It's because bigfoot has ALL effect in the Blue Mountains. So, WDFW might have been more crafty then we initially thought and managed to circumvent the BMM and the intense pressure put on by them and their minions. Yes, they have minions.I fixed it for you halflife ;)

unless the mafia emblem is cherries, strawberries or cupcakes (or swallow, or phoenix, or celtic knots) pretty sure I dont have that tattoo :chuckle: but I do need another one or ten :chuckle:
and colockum penned up all the elk in colockum and guards them with a black helicopter thought everyone knew that ;) :chuckle:

Cupcakes are a good option for the BMM emblem. :chuckle:

I wasn't blasting the science but rather the decision to spend money on the science. It doesn't take a PHD in biology to figure out that enhancing escapement by limiting road access and thus hunting pressure will increase the chance of bull survival. But apparently it does in this state in order to justify a good decision.

It definitely does not take a phd in biology to figure that out...but what else are they doing?

What the heck is the blue mountain mafia?
LOL this guy must be thinking "WTF, kind of weirdos are these people. I thought it was a hunting website and all they talk about are sasquatch." :chuckle:
Halflife don't worry about being on "the list" I've been on that list for a year now. As long as you stay off the roads the BMM can't touch you. They are so used to how easy the Blue "Mountain's" Mole Hills are that when they get to the steep and rugged Colockum they can't make it far from the road. You should be safe. And as runamuk stated I'll keep a watch over you with my black helicopter. :tup:

the blues are now down to 2 bulls, here's the reason why!
EPIC!
The worst part is that the one taking it doesn't seem to be putting up much of a fight. :chuckle:

I have been hunting and camping in the blues for 31 years. I have never seen any elk up there. They do not exist. Bigfoot on the other hand are a dime a dozen. They are roaming everywhere up there. So if you wanna shoot a quality bigfoot they are there, but if you are looking for elk stay away you are just wasting your time. If I were you I would head to hanford.Now you have figures it out! Pass the word to all your friend! KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!

Trust me emac I'm a marked man. If I got within 100miles of the BMM headquarters I'd be a dead man. Unless...... this may or may not actually happen one day during a BMM meating. Live in fear BMM, live in fear. :yike: :chuckle:

The key is "meating". When something like that happens it definitely goes from being a meeting to being a meating.
Not sure why it's necessary to keep reiterating it: the Blues are an elk hunter's paradise. They'll load themselves in the back of your truck before you shoot them if you ask nicely. No elk in Colockum. Too many bigfoots. Radio collared by the BMM, too.
