Toutle Cow Down!

[SilkOnTheDrySide]

My buddy got her yesterday at 1030 or so.  How'd the rest the Toutle guys do?  I only heard one other shot...which was strange to me.

Ya we didn't get to spend to much time seeing the unit. But if I had to pick an area, I'd hang around the 245-249 roads...if you can still get to them. Just a hunch :-)

my family had 2, my dad took 4 days to fill his and my sis got hers yesterday. it took me two days to find elk, once we did they had plenty of chances and both tags are now filled. not nearly the same tag it used to be, but still good. i think a guy now needs to do a little homework or atleast scouting a day or two to be successful. used to be no scouting required, just drive a few hours and youd have plenty of chances, but just doesnt seem to be as good any more. not sure if its lack of elk or just because they have 5 times as many permits as they used too

Nice animal, congrats.

well done that's awesome!!
I blew it Thanksgiving morning.
Missed friday...went today and it felt like a springer report on the Columbia.  Shoulda been here yesterday.  Gut piles all over the place.
The search continues.  I wont get worried until tommorow.

I have the archery tag Dec 1-15. After you all fill your tags, and feel in the giving mood shoot me a P.M. I need to close the deal on my tag in five days with any luck.

I think there's plenty of elk, but in all the time I spent during my bull hunt and now this cow hunt it's pretty obvious to me that they hang out in the reprod.  Get high and glass into it.  It's crazy how well they can hide in there.  We'd be glassing a hill side, think we'd seen everything, then wham, a herd "appears" out of thin air.  Sneaky *censored*s for being upwards of 700 pounds
