More scouting. I've never been there, never put in for tags there either though. It's tough when you draw a tag in a unit you've never hunted. Good luck.

Lots of bulls everywhere in there. Try taking the crest trail south from  white pass and hunt east of it. Scout scout scout!

A buddy of mine has the muzzle load tag for rim rock and he's saying big bulls up high. Hope that helps.

was up high during archery season and the elk have moved out for the year.  find some thick nasty stuff and thats where you will find the elk up there.

Seen a big 5 or smaller 6 point step out at about 100 yards on sept 15 but no bull tag just got the cam on him as he went outa sight.  Just look around.  I would not leave there with the tag you have!!  I'd quit my job.

i will say this, it is one of the hardest units to hunt in Washington.
its very thick and pretty steep.  MY brother dad and all had bull tags in there about 4 years ago and ate all three of them.
The weather has to be right and like everyone said scout scout scout.
i think it should be a rule that if you draw a big bull tag that your work has to give you three weeks off from work paid.
LOL

I am leaving for this unit on friday at noon.  Muzzleloader is shooting good pretty excited.  Lots of area to hunt and I think the elk will be talking.  I own the clinic that I practice in, so my boss was very very understanding when I drew Rimrock 1-10 muzzy, my wife not quite as much.  Good luck to all

muzzle loader in rimrock is almost a slam dunk. Called a nice bull in for dad two seasons ago. Id almost guarantee that you will get a shot opportunity if you try.
