Title: Looking for some elk to photograph thursday and Friday.
Post by: hunterrcc on December 14, 2011, 08:44:16 AM: I have some family over from holland thought I would drive them by to look at elk but I know that alot of areas are closed to foot/vechicles this time of year. Looking between yAkima and Ellensburg west of 82. As we will be driving that way to visit some friends. Pm me if u know of some places we can drive still

LoL...no not looking for honey holes cuz the elk aren't in the same areas now as hunting season... Plus I have got my holes but alot of it is closed to humans now or the gates are closed making it a super long walk to get into the areas. Anyways I think we are going to head up the wenas area to start hopefully I will have some pics for u soon.

Post by: Dslayer on December 15, 2011, 04:47:13 AM: The gates lock going into the Wenas Dec. 5. Great place to go for a walk and see some elk not standing on hay bales during the winter, lots of ground to cover and lots of wildlife.
