That tag will be a fun one!! Get high up by the timberline of Mt Adams should be able to get a very respectable elk (300-320 class) Good luck have fun and enjoy it!!

I could be mistaken but I don't thing any of Mt. Adams is in the Lewis river unit.  Now I know that Mt. St. Helens is and yes timber line is good.  Make sure you know the boundary though because it is against the law to hunt above timber line on Mt. St Helens.

I'm totally for sharing info with other members, that's what this site is about. But maybe we shouldn't be posting as much specifics on the forum. I think PM is better so the whole world can't see it. Some of us hunt that unit in the regular season and don't want everyone to find out the good areas we worked hard for.


On a separate note to the OP, I'm doing a scouting trip up there tomorrow and depending on what I see I will shoot you a pm.

Big unit. Get out and scout. With  that tag should be able to find a decent bull.

On a serious note.. that unit is so huge, get up in the alpines and hunt slow and glass... I have seen monsters in there during the rut.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Then you obviously don't know the unit.

As I said before I may be wrong.  No need to be azz hats. Good luck getting any good info on here with all the happy folks chiming in.  If you want any info on the west side of the unit shot me a pm.
