We were able to locate a couple herds of elk tracks in the fresh snow. The only elk we did see were of course on private property. But sure glad we were able to get a good look at them. Five bulls.... One 5x, three 6x6's and a dandy 7x. I sure hope this early snow doesn't keep up for all us guys that have late season tags. I tried taking some pics to post, but by the time I zoom and crop, they are horrible.

Alot of it was owned by safire skys but they folded. not real hunter friendly in there. most of the elk I've seen in there are on private land .
You must not heard the recent approval of the development they are taking 300+ acres and making "north"cle elum.As far as hunting that land I wouldnt if I were you and if the snow keeps falling they will just move further into unhuntable land.

Only the back side toward the Teanaway is owned by a timber company. the front side is all private with no legal access.
He kind of knows the area

roads from the west end of town leading up on the hill. I was told its mostly private but open to hunting.
I heard they extending the city limits and by the sounds of it, I won't waste alot of time searching for
access up there. Thank you again for the heads up.

Thanks for the continued help guys! I'm heading up tomorrow without the sleds :(. We are going to just see what's going on and stay in touch with a few landowners (key I think). Plus it's just killing me having to wait till the 18th to hunt.Do you have the rifle bull tag?

If you can pm me the land owners names I can tell you the best one to hunt come the 18th.
