Coweeman Jan. cow tag

[deerhunterdes13]

My dad is taking me down to hunt the coweeman for my January rifle cow permit, he has only hunted the Green Mt. area. So, I was looking for a little advice on maybe which roads we should concentrate on, or maybe some tips on where you have seen elk during the earlier seasons. I only have 2 weekends to hunt because of school & fastpitch. I am really looking forward to getting my first elk. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

We are taking my younger cousin down to the coweeman for her january tag and she only has two weekends to hunt because of school and fastpitch as well  we are going on a scouting trip in a few weeks to figure out where to go!  goodluck!

There are elk all over the unit. I would try all roads. 1700 1600 6100. Look for one above the road.

I live right next to the unit.  If you get snow look low and where there is a grassy area.
Get up and glass.  You will have no problem finding elk.  If you run into a problem
let me know and i will be able to help.  Good luck and bring your binos.  Should
have no problem.  Can get into the unit off headquarter road or Kalama river.

You can be anywhere in that unit and get into Elk, shouldn't be a problem.  Snow will help but not needed, the pressure may have them still tucked in holes but you'll catch them slip up during the mornings, and evenings.  Lots of Elk in the Mulholland Creek area, glass the patchy jackfurs.  They also like it down in that lowland behind the dump, 1300 country.  Good luck.

I drew that tag last year. elk were hanging out in nearly every clearcut. If you want it easy wait till you see one on the road. I hunted the 1700 road It only took about 15 min to fill my tag. Right now during the muzzleloader season all the elk are hiding, hard scout unless your pushing the thick stuff. Once they close the gates again they will be every were.

It appears ill be going on this hunt also, my buddy drew the tag and ill be going with him, maybe I'll see you all in there.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! Does anyone know if there is any snow down there yet? I have a choice of shooting a 30-06 or 7mm mag. I shoot both well, which one do you think will get the job done without making to much damage? My dad isn't much help, he shoots a bow n arrow. I'm soo excited, only two more nights of no sleep!!! THANKS AGAIN!

[Arteman]

No snow, but you guys should have no problem.  Been getting a bunch rain though the last couple days, Sunday is suppose to be sunny but pack raingear just in case.  Maybe the nice weather will have the Elk out and about.  Good luck, but I wouldn't think you need it.

good luck with that 1st elk ... you got my vote...my son also has a tag but I think I am going to wait until the 10th or so .....good luck

do they open the gates up for the permit holders in the coweeman?

[BOWHUNTER45]

got combos to the locks  now if I can find one on the up side of the road ...I am a lazy hunter now days

My buddy's daughter has that tag.  We might be taking her and another boy who also has the tag down there on Monday.
