I went to college in Pullman. I saw elk in dusty and around the wheatfields of pullman. There are elk in all directions from pullman in the wheatfields. They move around a lot, except for one place that I know of, and would be very difficult to hunt. I can certainly belive there are elk where reported. There are elk in pomeroy, endicott, dusty, pullman, between pullman and spokan, handford, etc. Why not in those other non-forested areas.
