520 Winston late bow elk
« on: November 08, 2010, 12:27:59 PM »
Have heard that the 520 Winston unit is a good area for late elk bow. Any one knows which area of this unit would be best.  I was thinking the NE area as there are less roads but haven't made it up there to see if it is all private land.  Thanks

Winston is going to one full unit. Every wet sider i talked to is headig to the Winston Unit for the late archery hunt.

Sounds liek it is going to be as crowded as Vail is for the opener  :yike:

You could almost change that to " Every wet sider is headig to the Winston Unit for the late archery hunt."

:yeah:
You might want to rethink Winston for late season.   :twocents:  I went once and won't ever go back again even though we got into elk they acted like they had been chased for monthsl We got tired of being over run by people.

Once you get to know it you'll find the holes that not many people go into and youll get into elk.

I agree with bucklucky.  Lots of people but lots of elk.  Me and a few buddies had a patch of timber that we would get into them in everyday all day long.  That is until they logged it.

It is the archery roadhunters capitol of washington! Park your truck and hit some timber. There are plenty of elk in the unit. Most guys just cruise til they catch elk jumping the roads then plan a stalk. Give it a try, there is lots of country to cover and few hunters using their boots. Good luck!

I am going to be all over that unit.  Driving every road many times.  Oh I can not forget to have my new stereo running at 90%.   You know it will be me and my bump, bump, bump woofer hitting the RAP songs while I am driving down all the driveable roads.  Oh yes, I will be hunting then!!!    :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I thought that most of the gates will be locked? or is that only going to be for rifle?

Deerslyr, I'm not 100% positive on this year's closings, but the weekdays are generally locked up, the weekends get opened up for vehicle traffic.
