Modern, dry side. It doesn’t do much good to scout them with too much faith in an area since opening day is the day after 2 weeks of modern deer hunters pushing the elk to who knows where.
I usually just hike and hike and hike general areas I know they like to frequent until I bump into them or fresh enough sign for me to really slow down or come back and hunt the next day. Glassing isn’t too effective seeings how thick it is in the NE corner, unless they’re in a logged unit they’re pretty tough to glass up. And seeing’s how they don’t decommission any of the logging roads anymore, every jackass with a side by side is cruising every possible road all day long.

West Side Archery for me. Spend most of my time in a 3Pt. Min unit.

Hello fellow Washington elk hunters. As the summer begins and the fall quickly approaches I just wanted to see what other guys are doing this year. Are you an archery guy, muzzy, modern firearm? Do you hunt the Wet side or the Dry side? Do you call or roll in silent ? A western guy here. I've got one elk under my belt and hoping for more in the future...... Thanks, Jason

Any luck yet?

Went out 1 day, going out all weekend coming up! Hopefully this veteran can find a legal bull on Veterans Day weekend!

Any westside modern luck or muzzle luck ? Anyone got any insight to share with someone looking to bag the first ever elusive 3pt bull. Rosie’s are tricky to find
