Not because quality of the animals, because there are a few nice ones haunting the area, but because the conditions. The first couple of days might be quality, but it is in an area that is hunted during modern elk (Nov 3-14). The proximity to PA and Forks, along with a ton of ungated roads makes the area kind of popular.

As for the area, I was still finding a few deer in that area last elk season. The worst part was nearly every set of tracks (like the next day) would have cat tracks on top of them. The dang cats were working OT in a few sections...would've been dead if it was for the 'spotted kitten rule'.
