I reconfirmed with the nac this morning and there said "If you can find them, then you can shoot them". I just moved out here last year and missed the hunting season. This year I had something lined up with a friend down in Klickitat but he got pulled away on a family emergency so that left me with no back up plan. I wanted to stay in area 666 cause I'm mainly looking for meat not horns. (Horns would be nice, though) but I already decided the 1st one I see is dinner. I don't bow hunt or have a muzzleloader but after just now looking at the dates you have I think I should invest in a muzzleloader for next year. Since this is my 1st year trying for elk I didn't want to go to the timber farms and possible mess up someones hunt since I didn't scout anything. I'm planning on trying to find a trail somewhere, putting up my treestand and praying something walks by close enough. I do know fort lewis somewhat from deer hunting and have some maps just now need to find an elk.
