Title: GMU 460 Elk?
Post by: ValleyHunter on October 23, 2011, 12:00:46 AM: Anyone had any luck pulling a Bull or a Cow out of 460 recently? I'm having trouble locating the mysterious herd around Hancock/Snoqualmie Tree farm. Looking for some Jedi master tips. Thanks.

That kind of info usually means putting your boots on the ground and spending lots of time looking.

Good luck.

However

By the time elk hunting seasons rolls around they are all down off the tree farm and on private lands (houses). Only a couple will still mingle around on the tree farm.

Or back towards the j-line in the tree farm, I seen decent sigh in August. But again most of the elk in the farm will be heading down into private land

I've spent my whole life hunting that tree farm up till hancock started charging 200 dollars per person. And I've watched that elk herd multiply over the last 10 years. I could only imagine how good it will be in 10 years
