Late Mashel Muzzle Cow Tags.
« on: January 01, 2009, 12:41:37 PM »
Got woke up this morning! So I am laying there in bed sound asleep, that really good kind of sleep. Life is good, then BOOM!.............BOOM!...............WHAT THE HECK!..............I forgot about the late Muzzleloader Cow tags out here. All in all I heard 6 shots this morning. I got woke up more than once. Somebody is having an exciting day Elk Hunting. I think this next year the wife is going to be getting a Muzzleloader and I will put her in for this late tag.

My dad drew it 3 years ago and got his first Elk ever.

Is that mainly a private land hunt?

For the most part. I believe there are some public areas that could be productive though.

The Hancock Kapowsin and Eatonville treefarms are closed to any access, even with a Hancock permit if you were not hunting during any open Elk season.....just the rules they have.............Les

The reason it is closed they have special permit drawings for their members.The lucky ones that get drawn have the property all to themselves

I believe the Hancock tree farm is open for the late cow hunt on the south side of the puyallup river. It was last year and I know it is for the 2010 late hunt as well.

My understanding on the late cow hunt in the Mashel unit is that if you are drawn (25 permits 2009) and you have a Hancock access permit you can harvest your cow on the timber land. The only other elk hunting on this land is the special permits given out be Hancock timber company.

You couldn't  hunt the hancock with a late cow tag.  A guy I used to work with drew it and also had the hancock permit.  He was told by the hancock security that they were not letting special permit holders to hunt this year.   He said they hunted it last year, but weren't allowed this season.  He had to bang on some doors last minute to gain access.  Found out the week before.  He said he was up scouting for the cow tag and ran into the security guard.  Didn't have a clue up to that point.

Some of the locals close to wapitihunter have to let you hunt their land because they were payed by the state.  So find out who those guys are and you have access.

bullcanyon,
    Thanks for that information as I was still believing that it has never changed? I also have a friend that was drawn a cow tag a couple years ago and he harvested his cow from the timber lands.
  I ran into the security guard a few weeks ago and I have his card. I will give him a call later today and see whats up.

--Update---

   I just spoke with the security guard(timber patrol) and he told me that people with permits in the timber company are allowed to hunt the cows as long as the timber company lands fall within the legal game description boundaries. He said the main reason for that late hunt is to prevent damage in the lowland farms, and the boundaries may have changed within the new regs coming out.   
   So i guess with all that being said, if anyone gets lucky and draws a cow permit make sure you carefully read the boundary description.

I hope this helps :dunno:

So does that mean the locals by wapitihunter have to let you hunt their land during general season or just during the late cow tag?

deerslyr,

 If your hunting on anyones property, you better have permission. Otherwise you are trespassing, punishable by fines and a bad hunter image. :DOH:
