Title: Watershed- Bulls move in there???
Post by: get one leakin on August 25, 2011, 11:40:56 PM: Two trips to the mill creek shed this summer so far. Saw a few cows each trip and finally heard a bugle the last trip. I was i there in 07 and seemed like the elk didnt show up in there untill right before the season opens. Is that the case or is it just me? Seems like the opposite of the norm...

Post by: firecrotch on August 26, 2011, 10:44:20 PM: yeah like bluebulls said they are always in there, ive been looking into the watershed just about everyday and the heat is just keeping them in the timber.

We saw a Goat also in there when I went with getone. That was a surprise to see him.

Post by: firefighter4607 on November 03, 2011, 05:07:45 PM: It sounds like all the bulls are gone from there. Heard from my dad today and he said they haven't seen any bulls for the last 3 days. They saw 3 earlier in the season but all were at 600 yds. The ranger said that he knew of 9 Washington bulls and 8 Oregon bulls taken as of Wednesday. I hope they find one soon!

Post by: dckkllr on November 21, 2011, 08:35:59 AM: Only a cow for my brother this year. Also, a 365 class shed. Saw 3 lions, 1 chocolate phase black bear, and 3 sets of wolf tracks. Will post our story later. Oh, this was on the Oregon side.
