Toutle antlerless tag holders?

[Ghost Hunter]

Tried hard but didn't get in done in 3 point area.  Scouting didn't find much sign this weekend.  Any suggestions for public land?

[gotcha]

Good luck up rock creek. Just not the same. Lot less elk. Good luck

We spent part of the weekend in the northern part on Weyco land scouting for my son's antlerless hunt. Not much sign there either, at least not by Toutle standards.

So all the elk have disappeared in the rock crk area...yeah ok

[gotcha]

Just saying good luck. It's Def not the same as 4 yrs ago. Spend lots of time up there. We have 3 tags to fill sure we might see ya if we don't get them on private prop first.

5500.  Saw bulls and cows up there recently

[jeffitz]

Yeah i hear ya, rock crk is where i will start,but possibly not finish.5500 is excellent for sure,or7400,but i plan on gettin one without a weyco permit so...just a little personal challenge i guess

Spent Sunday morning up Rock Creek.  Maybe all the deer hunters kept the elk laying low?  Got 2 tags to fill.  Will be hitting it Friday if I get a day off.  Got 1o and 16 points tied up in our tags.  Hope to bring wild meat home.  Not used to eating store bought.  Good luck to all.

Drew a ML cow tag in the Toutle area 2 years ago. A logger told me to go the 5500 road. There are steam vents in a old clear cut up there, with a foot of snow on the ground there was still lots of green grass growing in the area of the steam vents. Drove up there, elk tracks everywhere only took around 20 minutes to locate the elk, and put a stalk on them and it was cow down. On the way out in a mile or less saw 3 different bulls. Good Luck!

I was there for my bull tag Nov. 1-12... saw one rag horn bull on day 3 that did not give me a shot... that was the only animal we saw.  No cows and no fresh sign what so ever and we covered all of the north part of the unit including the Weyco permit areas.  Local old timers said the state has been killing the ones with hoof rot off by the hundreds the last 2 years off the mud flow in the winter that may have somthing to do with lack of animals.  Good luck and be safe!

How did everyone's hunt go today. Pretty quiet.

[jeffitz]

Too busy working,probably wont hit it til saturday.oh yeah dont forget about the powerlines between Aultman Rd and the 8100 just before Cougar.powerlines parallel the hwy for a couple miles    along there and that could produce a cow or two.and anywhere uphill of that powerline but it gets steep

[gotcha]

Thanks. Shhhh. That's a well kept secret. Buddies daughters started there today.

Ya, he beat us to the gate... least I suspect it was him.  We did the cool thing and moved on though, not like the dork that followed us in last year and then took off in front of us to cut my 12 year old daughter off... boy he's lucky I had her in tow or he'd a had a new hiking buddy for the day

No fresh sign today and we covered a bunch of ground, but we'll keep at it.

Good luck!
