Toutle tag holders

[Deer slayer]

I think we should start a new topic to keep it straight on who has what for toutle tags. This way maybe we can combine it into one instead of all these topics. I have a toutle rifle that I drew with three other guys. Four tags all together. I am still willing to help others out on pointers in the unit.

I drew the Toutle ML cow tag with my wife.  Normally I bow hunt and she goes muzzleloading, but this year I am going to Montana in September for deer and elk.  The Toutle should be a great hunt.  My father in law drew the archery bull tag last year and said there were tons of cows and small bulls, he settled  for a satellite 5 point that I thought was pretty nice.

Did you get to go with him to learn your way around the unit a little?  Cow tags should be golden. Good luck.

I drew archery bull, me and my hunting partner.

I used to hunt the archery season in what is now Lewis River at the boarder, it was a small GMU called something else at the time, Lewis River incorporated it a few years back.  The darn elk on the toutle side would come to the road but wouldn't cross it.  It was a 3 mile walk down to the road so 3 mile hike straight up will be a pain if we have to do it.  Hopefully the gates on the other side will be open and we can drive in a ways.  My mother in law and her husband are in the advanced hunter program and may be volunteering to man the gates during the season if that is an option.

You must be talking about the Marble up the 7400 to the 5500.  We use to be able to drive up to the 5500 and we would hike in an old spur in the Marble.  There were a couple guys I met up there in the later 90's that were pretty cool.  We killed a few elk up that way.  That is another area I will be looking at.

I have an older St Helens Tree Farm map for Weyerhaeuser.  It must be older because I bought it for $3.99.  If your around Longview you might also check Bob's.  Maybe be able to call the Toutle Store or Bob's and buy it over the phone.  I will be going through Longview next weekend and can stop and look and mail one to you Rick.

I wonder if someone could call Weyerhaeuser directly and get it from them.  I have an old number I found for their communication center.  360-425-2150.  No idea if this is still good.  If so it will be a good number to keep on you just in case there is an emergency and need something.

Quality Elk Rifle Toutle Bull. My dad, brother and I drew the tag as a group hunt. I hunted there one other time back in 2005ish and there was a lot of elk in there. My brother drew the tag in 2008 and said he had never seen so many nice bulls.

[Deer slayer]

What was killed in 2005 and 2008.  I killed a brush rack 5 in 1995 and the guy that drew with me shot a 3x4 that was standing next to my 5 point.  My dad killed a nice even 5 in 1996.  I took a friend who drew with me this year in 2004 and he killed a brush rack 3x4.  There are some bulls in there.  There is some brush in there too.

Yep that was it, Marble, I kept wanting to say Margaret.  We were up at the top in the late 90s, my father in law is the one that shot the the big cougar with his bow.   That is all we got that year but did well on elk the rest of the time.  Nate had a big camp at the end of the road we were just before him with a camper and a wall tent.
