Elk Hunting & Bear Hunting on the Olympic Peninsula 

To hunt these awesome trophy Roosevelt elk with me on this peninsula and be successful, I can not push it hard enough about being in good shape especially archery and muzzle loader seasons.

The bulls are in rut and when there rutting I can bed them down at dark and if the moon is out or pressure from other bulls come around that big ol boy may take his Harlem of cows and go five or ten miles from where we seen them last so its go time.

Good boots and top of the line gear is a must I have a ninety percent success rate and you will see elk that’s a guarantee you do work and get one down and ill get it out of the woods for you.

Black bears are over abundant here, since they outlawed the use of dogs and bait in 1996 these big bruins have multiplied ten times what they were. I hunt these bears in the high country where the berries are thick, its natural bait for them.

Three day hunts are almost a give me bear, there are more bear in the country I hunt than deer. it’s a great season warm beautiful days and if you tag out early in Elk or Bear season we can always fish for some big chrome kings or silvers.
