For some reason I was thinking the 4200 rd had the access to the state land.I'll have to do some checking. |

It won't get you on the other side of the South Fork. The roads that do cross the river are gated and I don't believe those gates are ever open. |

Thanks for all your help! I was able to get a weyerhauser tree farm map.It shows the gate's and there is alot of them. I guess the problem is when the gate is open there was a sign saying no motorized public access. We are not opposed to biking in and have done it however, I would like to get atleast with in 8 miles of good hunting. I'am going to check out there website and see if I can find any info there. Again thanks for the help! |

The toutle and margret areas can be very difficult to access in early archery season. They usually won't allow any public access, walk in or drive in. There is a little bit of state land on top of the toutle, and it usually holds elk, but getting there can be tough. I have had 3 friends in the last 5 years that have drawn a rifle bull tag, it's by no means a guarantee. My advice is to not pass up a decent bull, because you might not have another chance. |

Hello Funster. I had the Toutle elk rifle tag last year. Difficult unit to get around in when the gate's are closed. When they (Weyco) opened the gate's ,for the weekend, they opened all of them. I had hoped some would remain closed so that I could walk in for some more privacy. Outside the unit there were very few place's to camp. I did get a 4-point and am happy with it. I did learn a bit about the unit. In the next day of two when I get my map's and note's out I'll give you some more specific information. |
