Help me! In Wilson Trask unit

[Slayer]

I have been hunting in the wilson trask unit for the last three days without seeing 1 elk. I am at approximately mile marker 30-31, hwy 26 around salmonberry road. Any words of wisdom [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] ? I usually get, or at least see an elk. Not this year :whazzup: Any helpful words to sucess would be helpful, we really need this elk this year. Thanks

we haven't seen any up there either, not even real fresh sign. must be cougars, or the lack of clearcuts. We probably won't hunt it next year.

I hunted the upper trask drainage after crossing over Kansas Creek on Sunday morning. From Kansas Creek to the Trask river road I counted 9 cars. Once we got near where I wanted to hunt, I walked the road until I could drop down towards the river to hunt. In the 10 minutes I was on the road, I was passed by 6 cars, 2 with California plates...

Once all the rigs start moving around, I think the elk go for the thickest areas they could fine. I kicked out what I expect was lone bull about 100 yards in front of me and I was slow stalking. Tough when you don't even get to see them.

Regarding the new sign, we walked about 6 miles on Saturday in a private area. Went back yesterday and the rain had washed all our prints away. They are out there, but a lot of the sign is getting washed away....

Find the deepest darkest area around and get walking, that is where they are hiding.
