Margaret B tag need help??

[arrowflinger]

I drew a Margaret B. I haven't hunted down there, I am most of the time over hunting with a bow on the eastside. I kind of know the area, only from visiting the area to see the mountain. I would love any help that you could offer. time to fill the freezer...........thanks in advance.

Just pick me up when you leave on the 2nd of Nov and we will go find one.

I would double check with Weyerhauser, but the last couple of years, they haven't had very many gates open. We had to drive across from the 1900 to get to where we wanted to hunt, which was all the way up by the other boundary (I can't think of the road number off the top of my head). It makes for a long drive in on Saturday morning, since it is open weekends only.

[HntnFsh]

Your right.The only access has been through the 1900.

From what I hear its open most weekends now thanks to a local group working with Weyco.Patrolling the area etc.Last I heard you could go up to the lakes on weekends.

I'm going up to do some scouting this weekend.Saw 8 legal bulls this afternoon.No big ones but a couple that would be hard to turn down.Also saw a bunch of cows.

I haven't been down there much. could you at least give me a PM on how to get to the 1900..............Been looking over maps, but could use a tad more help.

Thanks

[HntnFsh]

Pm sent.  Where you from?

[arrowflinger]

Thanks for the PMs, returned PM on the way..........Puyallup area.

Thanks again.

I hunt the 520 unit for elk, I have been into 524 to you may want to try the gate just north of Johnston ridge observatory it will be locked but there is incredible #s of elk right there. good luck

[arrowflinger]

Johnston Ridge?? that is out of the unit............want an elk not a ticket.

[callthewild]

i think he is stating the other side of the freeway

[arrowflinger]

The Unit ends at Coldwater lake.............

[WDFW-SUX]

There are so many elk up there all you have to do is walk around and you will fill your tag. It doesn't really matter where you go you will find elk galore.

[callthewild]

arrowflinger. i will research and get you the road number

[wannahunt]

It took me twenty minutes after shooting time when i got drawn in 2001. That was with no scouting since there was a twelve mile stay out zone around the mountain right up to the friday before the hunt. Of course that also meant that there had been no deer hunters in the unit either so that probably helped also.   

[bcrawford]

MY Bad I gave you bad info, the coldwater ridge visitor area. try the 3500 or 3550 sorry for the F-up

[arrowflinger]

Its all good.............
