2025 Mt. St. Helens success?
« on: September 21, 2025, 02:28:22 PM »
Just curious if any one has had any luck harvesting any big bulls this year in Norway Pass, Mt. Whittier, or Upper Smith Creek.

I was in 560 and 516 right near Norway. Had a good year, finding the few elk that are there. Not sure what’s going on but I know hikers saw a lot of elk up Norway near bear pass or bear something lol

I know of a Norway Pass and a Mudflow archery tag holder. Neither of them tagged out.

I hiked up to Norway Pass and Mt. Margaret yesterday and saw an Elk carcass about 2.5 miles in.
After the 3 mile point I saw multiple bulls that were very hot! They were screaming mid day and it was pushing
80 Degrees. What a beautiful area. Lots of goats also.

I actually heard all 7 Mudflow tags went unfilled.

Tagging in to see how the Upper Smith Creek tag holder did. I had that tag last year and was successful. Nothing like having a whole elk area to yourself for a week.

I am not surprised.  I was up there a few times looking and didn't see any elk. I was shocked! A lot of work going on there, and a lot of logging above the flow. Seemed like a really strange year for the mudflow area.

I know of one tag that was filled in the mudflow. But I'm pretty sure it was way down stream, low in the flow.
