Westside Muzzy Elk Habitat Help and Rut Help

[Molon5labe]

Its been dead quiet since Saturday. Zero elk noises. I missed a shot on a nice bull this morning tho

We hunted state land Winston and Mossyrock
4 days
Saw zero elk
Saw zero deer in the woods
Talked to a couple of locals
Apparently the Winston had a big die off a few years back
Had no idea
Minimum of fresh track
Big azz moon
Frankly it sucked

Did hear of a gal from Mossyrock that got a pretty nice 6x5 though

More ML hunters than I have ever seen on the westside. 4 days of hunting and didn't see one elk, full moon didn't help I'm sure. We usually see 20 plus elk in the same area every year.
