Toutle Muzzleloader Quality elk hunt, How good is the area??

[scottfrick]

My uncle and I went down and scouted the area for the first time today. We ended up seeing (4) 4 point bulls, 20+ cows a spike deer and doe. Wasnt a bad trip out. We spent most of our time up the 4200. Thinking if the fog wasnt so bad we probably would have seen more elk. Hoping to make another couple of trips here in september to check out more area and find more elk!!

Maybe you should focus more on finding elk then sitting here typing on your computer.  Just joking scotty.  Give me a call sometime and well talk man.

Ive got six scouting trips into the toutle so far this summer. Lots of elk! More than ive seen anywhere else. Some decent bulls as well. But from what ive seen... Im letting an arrow fly at the first bull that presents a shot for me. Holding out for a big bull will be a mistake!

ha ha funny robert. You need to try and get either a friday or a saturday off so you and I can go down there and do some more scouting!!! You were right tho, The area is awesome!! So green in the timber!! Let me know if you can work something out!!
