1st time hunting where is a good area on the westside for elk hunting?

[Dhoey07]

Did late season last year for buck got nothing and no bucks this year yet. Wondering where a good area for elk is on the westside.

Thanks

A male elk is called a bull, not a buck

I'm pretty sure she was referring to deer.

You can go to WDFW website and see the kill reports from previous years. Other than that I'd say find a good unit that you can get some time to scout. If you don't have time to scout then find a decent unit that is closer to you and find time to scout. Not to many guys here will just tell you where to go since everywhere is too crowded until you find your honey hole. Good luck.

There is a lot of people there because it produces the most kills and a lot of Elk. There are some ugly people in there, but some really nice people too. Go with your gut instinct on where you feel like you want to hunt and learn the area very well. I use the road hunters to my advantage.

I did late buck season last year and hunted for mule & black tail this year so buck is correct..I m new but I doi know the difference lol  Now Im hunting for Elk which in Winston area has to be min. 3pt so now Im its bull time...hopefully..

We are going to be in the Winston Unit because my husband drew a cow tag.  But it would be nice to know someone first.

Good Luck I tried for cow tag also but no luck with that either...Im taking a friend but has never hunted so it will be interesting...

Yup I was told Winston is a great place to hunt.  Hunting that area next weekend.  Plans fell through with my hunting partner and will be hunting with some guys from the site up around Stampede pass.  Good luck.
