Toutle Bull Tag

[fish-on37]

I drew the Toutle bull tag for the archery season this year. I am wondering what to expect as far as the caliber of bulls that are in there. I dont have a lot of time to scout this year because of work schedual so any info would be great.  Maby send a picture of your bull that you have taken in there. Thanks

I hunted the toutle last year calling for my cousin who drew a bull tag on his second year. There are a lot of 220" to 230" bulls in that unit, with a few 280" to 300" bulls and a lot of rags. We ended up only hunting about 2 1/2 days due to vehicle problems and the overcrowding due to the number of cow tags given in the area. The area we ended up hunting was void of all other hunters and my cousin missed a 290" to 300" bull, then shot the 4th bull I called in that day at 6yds. He passed the 2nd and 3rd bulls, he ended up shooting a good five, but probably only cause I told him to and it was a gimme on his second year archery hunting, however his first year he shot a bigger bull. I would post pictures but I am not sure how, anyway if you have any questions feel free to send me a pm.

My father has drawn the archery bull tag, also.  I have not hunted this area, but if it is anything like the Margaret I will likely need a lot of information just to start.  My dad is 63 and shoots a recurve.  Looking for possible place to put a trailer where we can hike or short drive to hunt.  We don't mind putting a few miles on the foot to hunt.  I have read the old threads and still have some questions.  I would love to talk with anyone willing to share some info so we can at least scout.  I am researching the maps to try and get a good lay of the land.  Not sure what roads we will use to access the area.

i know a buddy of mine that went in on a few hunts in there, im not sure what season your hunting but if you can call i know you can call up some bulls out of the loo-wit if you set up on the border of the gmu's. my buddy called up a couple nice ones right across the road that makes the border

now i see the season   i should pay more attention when im reading. that should be a great tag

YEah. Me thinks any elks tag is a good tag. You got a chance at a possible trophy and you're in the woods.

I drew that tag a few years back.. Ya its not the blues, but for a good southwest washington hunt, its fun.. Lots of action, mutiple bulls everyday you can call in.. it does kind of suck that they put cow permits in their at the same time, thats actually bull chit.. If your patient and be ready to pass on some rag bulls cause they come screamin in, you can get a respectable 5 to 6 point.. I personally am all about the quality of the hunt and action, thats what gives me a bowner  !!  Nothing like a bull at 10 yrd screamin.. PM me and i can send you some good info..

I drew a archery tag in there this year with 6 points. I was up there last weekend and saw a few elk and lots of bear sign.Trying to find a good map that shows all the public land in the unit just in case of fire danger. Praying for rain

[MagKarl]

No doubt, I've got this tag too and the woods are already getting dry.  I hope we get to hunt.

I drew it 3 yrs ago and the first 4 days were closed due to fire danger than it rained like crazy.. so thank god..
