Help with the Winston

[WSU]

The elk have really learned not to stand around in clear cuts.  The ones that don't figure it out get killed with the hundreds of cow tags in there.  I have an AHE cow tag for December and plan to make a lot more of a hunt out of it than I have in years past.

It's been a while since I hunted Winston- sure wish I could get into my old areas but most gates were locked last I was there.

Most gates are unlocked now. You may be able to get in there.

For how many elk are in the Winston the first weekend you should be tagged out I bow hunt up there all year and end up taking a cow late season I know the Winston like back of my hands when on the 1100 take the 1102 and do the loop back on to 1100 but drive the side roads on 1102 all side roads are dead ends there in the 1102 just have to find them in the clear cuts or in the timber when driving 1102

I have hunted there years ago but not a lot.  Wife drew an antlerless tag.  I used to go in off longbell rd.  Is that still a viable option?

[Bow tech hunter]

I haven't hunted  longbell road for a long time I never stop there now if there's no snow on the ground the elk are up high still I have very good luck up high 1100 line is probly the best area I like and when there is snow on ground them elk are out moving the snow make a big difference in Winston first elk with my bow was in the snow opening day late bow cow was standing 40 yards in clear cut Iv never seen sooo many elk on opening day after it snowed I litterly counted in to the 100s on how many I seen there was more cows then bulls I seen
