Sounds like the elk are on private land

Here's an article to get you started: https://www.columbiavalleypioneer.co...n-past-decade/
Recently saw the winter counts on elk, and there sure aint many bulls in there, and even worse, 6pt in
the counts.
Are there Elk in the EK, yes.
Some areas traditionally hold more elk than other, but it will hold more hunters as well.
And those "pockets" of elk exist, but most locals know that also, and its a competition every morning to
see who gets in first each day.
If you do know people with private property, your chances go up for sure.
And if people have a good spot that is still holding elk for them, they wont tell you.
But there is a reason why other parts of the province has become over crowded as well now with
elk hunters, and it because things are bad in the EK.
If you are a local, then it's not a big deal to run out the door and hit your favorite spots.
If you have to plan a trip and long drive there, well many have changed their plans.

Hunting soothes the Soul!
Elk numbers are way down to the point of frustration in the EK... no such thing as a slam dunk area. Bad manahement of seasons.. blame wolves.. not true

Come on guys...these comments aren't helping him find a great hunting spot. How's he going to find the good spots if nobody tells him?

Somebody hit an elk on the highway in Squamish last week. Friggin' totalled the car, never did see the elk though.
Is Justin Competent, or just incompetent?

Ratherbefishin has been around for a long time, this isn't the usual “ hey its my first post, where can I pump an elk, I am not looking for anyones honeyhole....” kind of request. My answer was honest, I am very surprised he did not already know this, its been going down hill for quite some time now lots of info on it too. Sorry man.
