Late season can be tough, the weather can be obnoxious, seems like ours raining or the bitter cold. The elk are jumpy but generally I found they are in thicker cover in the same general area they always are in. They seem to come back to the same area every three to four weeks in the area I hunt.

West side is pretty vague.  What tag do you have?   Where do you wanna hunt (give or take 10 sq miles)

These guys are great about specific area advice,   So be specific and you will probably get someone to chime in on their favorite stomping grounds. 😎
If hunting was easy, they'd call it killing....

Never judge a man til you walk a mile in his shoes.  That way when you do judge him, you will have a mile head start and he will have no shoes.

Well I’ve got the Weyerhaeuser St. Helens drive in permit. So info on the Winston preferably.  But not opposed to trying something different. That area seem pretty bare during the early archery season.

get you a decent hand held GPS that basically shows the boundaries between weyco and private lands...hunt those boundary areas.  we've had a lot of success with elk moving from the weyco bedding areas into the private land feeding areas

Go up Winston creek road and hang a right at the access gate.  Hunt any of the clear cuts in there.  There's alot of elk!
