Title: Westside Elk
Post by: twolabs on December 27, 2011, 06:06:48 PM: Did anyone hunt down around Mccleary. I've seen big herd between Clear Creek Casino and Mccleary.
Just wondering if there is Land available to hunt.

Click the "Map Mason Map viewer". Use the tool to zoom in. Once you get in close enough, you can click on the plots with the "Identify" button and a pop up comes up with info about the land owner. Not a whole lot of Mason County in that area but, should be enough to where you can find the timber co. land and get you close to the elk
