Ummm... Maybe stick to one animal at a time. Copying and pasting isn't going to make a lot of people want to help immediately. Get a GMU map and/or a gazetteer type atlas that shows state land areas and walk. You're on the west side, there's tons of everything out here, you just won't find it while you're looking for it.
im always looking for all usually to keep an open mind and stay positive and i have a gmu map, but it doesnt talk back and isnt very friendly like people are...ill take it more in depth and seperate when i get my tags soon or whenever...
sorry if this post made u mad.... :dunno:

Grow a thick skin, laugh at those that attack you, learn from those that offer advice...
You did not specify weapon, but I hunt archery, during Archery season you have the opportunity to take deer, bear and Elk during the same hunt (though one at a time is hard enough, at least it gives you a better chance of filling at least one tag during your hunt. :twocents:
Roe Hunter resources, Elknut outdoors products will help with learning basic Elk hunting strategies, (calling and locating) and hooking up with seasoned hunters will be a tremendous asset...

Dont take it personal, we always pick on newbies.

thanks boss, ya i dont worry about people picking on me, ive been hunting before and always am in the woods and studying things, i also work at dicks sporting in the lodge and talk to hunters all day, i wouldnt consider myself a newbie but i just say i am because i know people here know more or have more experience which making me in there eyes a newbie....oh well ha
i want to do archery muzzleloader and modern and learn all types, but as of now i have shotguns and rifles so it would be modern firearm, its a savage axis .308, only big game rifle as of now besides 22lr so not much variety as of now....

Here is what I WOULD DO !!! Elk love being way back in off the roads .and they love being in the deepest nastiest holes known to man So find a good trail and remember elk stink So be sure to blow your nose and clear your sinuses because you will have to sniff your way towards them ... move very slow while stiffing the air also be alert for bears & cougars because they like elk to and they may be sniffing you down and do not forget your compass because you may get lost :chuckle::yeah:

damn....this post went really down hill. ALL I WAS ASKING WAS FOR ADVICE, not hunny holes etc. i hate being around people in the woods etc and would not want to even go to your hunny holes because its a possibility youll be there??? im not sure why u guys are mad that i posted this its not like its what was keeping u up? plus i only posted this in all animals forums because not EVERYONE hunts EVERY animal. and i didnt remove any posts and never will, just edited them.
i will try to notice the smell so whoever mentioned that i will and thank you. i live in western washington in puyallup about 30 mins from elbe. I already have a gps and use it. I love hiking and am in very good shape through sports so hopefully that pays off. for whoever somewhat understands my intentions thank you and i appreciate your advice and your time. for who ever I am about to keep up till the wee wee hours of the night with posting this i apologize :sry: :bash:

Go hiking in the state lands near elbe. You can't walk a game trail more than 20 yards without stepping in elk poo, deer poo, cougar scat and tracks or bear sign. Just be careful. The logs hidden under the underbrush can snag an ankle in a heartbeat while you're walking around.
will do, i usually go to scott turner road and all the trails up around them and have seen deer and a coyote, plus herds of elk near by in the fields...i just got back 30 mins ago from there from shooting to and saw a big 4pt buck. oh wait....MY hunny Hooooolllleeeeeee :yike: :yike:

You are in a great area for deer and elk, I do most of my hunting out of Randle and Packwood. Anywhere from the Roy Y to hwy 12 is going to be covered in trails and sign. Just keep your eyes open, ears and nose alert to any sort of smell or sound and you are sure to stumble across something. Lots of logging out there too, look for the 3 or 4 year old reprod and you have a good feeding area. Once you find the feed area, try and find the escape route they would use, genereally going to be up hill and away from any access roads. The only other advice I could give for that area is spend all spring and summer after the birthing season to scout.

If I knew what I was doing I would always be offering to take people out. Other than that you missed the fact that this guy put up 4 identical posts with different animals in the subject line. That's why people immediately got to being harsh.
I would say you have the perfect job for scouting for deer and elk but you guys fly to high to see much. :chuckle:
