Anyone with the Pe Ell North permit having a hard time coming across elk in this area? Specifically modern firearm season.

Most of the Elk in PeEl North and south migrate out of there about a week before season opens.  I've got a farm in Centralia and they move across my back hill steady for a week or more. 
I usually delete my posts after two days.

I've never claimed to be a house painter or a mechanic...it always amazes me how many people want to claim to be a lawyer.

No not true, the elk up there don't migrate. Their up there all year long. No reason for those elk to migrate.

Hoof rot has decimated those herds.

I have hunted an adjacent unit to the PE Ell South for years and I've glassed legal bulls every year in there during rifle, they're in there.

Hoof rot is sad to watch in theses elk,   Seems like no one looks at the connection between moo cows and elk hoof rot.   cows get from to much nitrogen in the pastures  sounds like it softens up the hoof and the bacteria grows and eventually crimpling them.   I see the forest companies put down fertilizer and is this same reason the elk get hoof rot?

The elk are in there. Co worker of mine lives locally and is successful more often then not in there.

They don't migrate in the typical sense, but they certainly change high use areas and patterns throughout the year.

Hoof rot has impacted nearly every westside elk unit in the state. In 501 specifically however, I believe a much bigger factor is the amount of logging that has taken place in the last 15 years. ALOT of state land has been logged in country that historically provided much needed protective cover, couple that with an antlerless gun season and its a big impact. I know of several big clearcut shoot outs that put a whooping on them.
