My  youngest  son  and  I  drew this  tag , only  took  14 points . 
Hope  we can  be  successful .

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]

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.

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 .

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]

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.   

[bench beast]

Which part of the unit have you been scouting

[TikkaT3-270Shortmag]

Just go up and kill a cow!
