Edge Report post Posted September 7, 2014 There's a woodlands variety of Caribou living in north central WA I was hoping to get a glimpse of when I was there. Last I checked their numbers were pretty low. Did bag me a few nice Columbian Blacktails though and encountered a lynx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
