Well drew a antlerless winston tag, and now time to start doing my homework, and get some meat in the freezer. Never hunted that area so any help be greatly appreciated.

Shouldn't be a problem whatsoever.

Overall the GMU has a high density of elk, and you shouldn't have an issue filling the tag. That being said its a big gmu, there are large areas within the gmu that have a low density of elk. One of the higher density areas is in the corridor near the Toutle River east of highway 505 and north of highway 504. There is a Weyco mainline entrance just west of Kid Valley on 504. Start there, stay low near the river you'll do fine.

I drew a antlerless muzzy tag for winston creek.  It should be pretty easy to kill a cow in this unit no matter what season.

Thanks for the info  (haus)   Never shot any elk yet, maybe this year will be the first, will start with cows and work my way up 

[Bearhide]

Ill probably start hiking it taking a look at that area in a couple weeks.  Just so when i get there i know exactly where to go.   Good luck to everyone.

How busy does this gmu get? Winston 520?  Is it hunter on top of hunter there? 

[bobcat]

I'm not sure there's a busier GMU during elk season than the Winston.

[Bearhide]

Well ill start scouting that area either way, need to see what that area looks like.

Hit the 1900 line and you will find elk.

[Bearhide]

Ok ill try that, thank you. Ill start my scouting soon. Ill take my camera and hopefully add some pics to the thread.

Bear hide you better pull a number, and be prepared for combat elk hunting it was pretty discusting last year with the few shut downs that weyco did during during the week had everybody bunched into about a 1/6 of the area discussed above.

Hate bringing it up, but beware of limpers in there... You may have to be a bit more selective about which elk you shoot...
