Margeret unit elk hunting / special permit

[Bluesdude]

I don't think its as easy as a lot of people think it is, but then again I've never hunted it in January. Its also not a tough hunt. I have talked to a lot of people that are frustrated they are seeing a lot of elk from their trucks dirving around, and the ones they do see don't stick around... well duh, they've been hunted hard since september. Find some sign or decent trails and you won't have a problem getting on elk.

I agree with Sirmissalot, I havent hunted it in January, and not sure what gates are open, but there should be plenty of elk off hwy 504 on the north or south side side once you get to the western boundary (crossing the bridge over the Toutle just past where Green River dumps in).  Walk up most gated roads and you will get into elk. the 3100 would be a good choice.

I just went and filled my tag on tuesday. If you willing to get out of the truck and walk around a little its a real easy hunt. I saw 20 plus cows in one day before I took mine. Just a warning if you go north there is a lot of snow right now so I hope you have a good 4x4. Otherwise have fun! Its a great place to be and enjoy!
