Toutle Quality

[duggyphresh]

Good news... Selected for Toutle Quality hunt this year.  Going out next week to do some scouting.  Anybody have any experience with this area?  Going to get a Weyerhauser map locally and check it out.  Went to forks last year I imagine the terrain in toutle is similar to the Winston area? Guess I'll know soon enough...

Thanks
heres my 2 cents
If your archery hunting
dont pass anything branched
The fire danger weather can get you shutdown and locked out fast and then your waiting for December and pressured elk

Get on getting the permit if you want the best bang for your buck. Grab the map and I can feed you some road numbers that have produced elk in the past.

I also agree with Madmax don't pass anything branched. This isn't a slam dunk anymore.

Weyerhaeuser permits are sure not selling very quickly. Still 3,715 left. I had thought they'd sell a ton of them last night since the draw results were out. Maybe they won't even sell out?

Interesting. Sure hope the Toutle tag holders pick some up. It can certainly be done without but the experience will be better with. It will also increase the pressure big in the north and south end of the until on those state pieces.

We got drawn for modern nov7-18... I didn't know the Weyerhauser permits were up.  I'll check it out.

I agree. I had it a couple years ago and saw a few bulls but only one that was over 250.

Sounds like a lot of people are heading to the Margret since this is the first year its open to everyone we saw a lot of elk in there last year.

Also interested in this thread. I drew the Toutle Muzzy Bull. I bought the St Helens permit but it isn't good until August 1st. So I guess I am limited to the State Land for scouting until then. Also hoping the woods won't be closed due to fire danger. There's 14 muzzy bull tags, 40 cow tags, plus muzzy deer hunters that may be out during my hunt.

Looking forward checking out some new turf. Good Luck on your hunt.

We are going up to check out the state land side... Anybody have any suggestions for camping areas around there?
Thinking we are heading down s. Toutle rd?  Not familiar with the area...

I would suggest getting the access permit.

Take the 4100 and bust a right on the 4250.  Plenty of spots off the 4250.
