good luck i don't know the area and would help if i did but most people will not give you info on spots to go to. a lot of new members only ask a few questions like were to hunt and "spots" and never come on again. you might check out the intro page and post there is you have not yet and share some pics most people will give a better response when ya do that. welcome to the site

Welcome to the site
I've only wandered into the margaret through the winston(west end of margaret) Definetly alot of elk. Which tag did you draw? The early season gets locked out if its really dry so pray for rain. Good luck and have fun.

You will see more elk than youve ever seen in your life.No BS
Its hard to say what gates you will get to go through.But just buy one of the cheap Weyco maps and go up there and cruise around.Enjoy the sites,the elk and have fun.Dont worry about shooting one opening morning or you will miss out on a lot of good scenery.Its worth the drive.Its worth spending a few days up there looking around.Heck you will probably see 20 -40 legal bulls a day.Let alone the cows.

Once you think youve seen enough.Kill your elk and go home.You will be able to kill one pretty close to the road.So dont shoot one down in some hell hole.

Heck you can fill a tag pretty easy just driving up and down the hiway.If you do just get off the road before you shoot.

my brother and friend had bull tags a few years ago there are cows everywhere find a spot to glass and sit watching the 30ft nobles and you will see lots of elk, call weyco hot line and when the gates are open go check it out try upper hoffstead creek anywhere around the high lakes are good

I think some people may have some misconseptions about the Margaret Unit. I would consentrate around the Nobles or High lakes, you can get there via hiking or mountian bike from Mirrata creek ( I don't think that is spelled right) or another good one in the "run away truck ramp". If for some reason the woods are open for drive in I would go back towards Miners creek. I've seen some good bulls and herds there but by no means is it shooting fish in a barrel. Hunting is still hunting no matter what unit your in. Good luck to you and PM me if you need some clarrification or just some tid-bits.

Weyerhaeuser just sold a big block of land west of the Fawn Lake/Mirrata Creek areas, etc. in the last week or so and it will likely be closed to hunting this fall.

That property was sold over a year ago and was still huntable last year.  Where are you getting your info?

[Legacy]

The "new" sale that closed is about 5,100 acres due west of the property sold to St. Helens Properties in 2008. Source is reliable...info on sale is public record.

Asking price had been almost 8 million.

I remember that property being for sale along Shultz Creek now.  Pretty interesting to see it sold.  Wonder who bought it?
