It would be nice if you could put a couple of elk out of their misery. Will you be buying the Weyerhaeuser access permit? Only around 3,500 left.

If my memory serves me right you know or knew the unit well?

Ghost Hunter · « **Reply #3 on:** June 17, 2015, 05:07:28 AM »

Me and my boy had that tag last year. Without the access permit, we wemt hungry. Good luck.

It ain't what it used to be. I've worked the unit for 24 years and could cruise around and find several herds any given day. The wife and daughter had cow tags last year and we hunted 6 of the 9 days and never saw a cow in the unit and that included hiking miles behind closed gates where we had killed dozens of cows in the past.

Hopefully you get lucky!

My nephew has the toutle cow tag this year. I hoping we can get him a shot at one.

I was absolutely shocked at the lack of cows we were able to find last year. Hunted it several other years and they were all 1-day hunts.

Just sayin'...Hope you have better luck

My dad and his friends got a Toutle antlerless tag last year they got on elk everyday and got shots. But it's not like it was when I had the tag.

jeffitz · « **Reply #8 on:** June 17, 2015, 06:56:29 PM »

Had that tag last year and got a cow just up the FS 8100, lots of state land but its a little steep and pretty thick. The elk are usually plentiful.Was definitely easier before weyco got greedy

Thanks for all the info guys . I live about 20 minutes from the south end of the unit . I also work for the DNR and have spent plenty of time up there planting trees and clearing roads. I agree that the unit is not what it used to be . Had a Bull tag in 98 and killed a decent 5 pt. I'll spend a little time scouting but most likely I'll be fighting fire all summer .
All information is greatly appreciated . You can never have to much .

bench beast · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2015, 10:07:20 AM »

Been fighting fire all summer haven't had any time for scouting,. Anybody been up looking around? Hope things start to settle down a little.

TheHunt · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2015, 10:10:25 AM »

I have been up there and it will be a little challenging. I am thinking I will have my brother drive from point A to B and I hike/hunt with junior until he gets tired.

Which part of the unit have you been scouting

Hope some of you that have spent recent time in this unit can send him in the right direction!

It's been a rough fire season for me had 4 days off in July . Got 2 days off in August . September isn't looking great either working this weekend . I've pretty much given up archery hunting . I was hoping to get out and help my brother in law and nephew . The only reason I put in for this tag is my son is going into the navy. We were just burning points . I had 14 he had 6

Depressing to hear that the unit's not very good anymore, it's a place I've been excited to put in for for archery cow tags... Did you see many elk?

goosegunner · « **Reply #27 on:** November 24, 2015, 06:26:31 PM »

My son got his cow on the opening day afternoon. She was all by herself. In the southern part of the unit.
