late 520 cowtag

There is no reason why anyone should not be allowed to have a gun in that unit during that time.

What if you're just down there to photograph elk? Or coyote hunt? Or bobcat hunt? Just doesn't sound right. You're sure it's not just for the Weyerhaeuser land? What exactly does the placard have written on it?

Ok, that's what I thought. It's only for Weyerhaeuser land. Which of course you will probably be on, because it makes up most of the Winston unit. But there is also quite a bit of state land.

That's what I was asking the warden today... Cause my brother and my father are going with me. He said you could not carry a rifle in the 520 unit between January 1st and January 16th unless you were selected for the hunt... But you may carry a pistol for you own protection... I don't know why!! My dad and brother wanted to carry a rifle for coyote/bobcat too. But I'm going to call and get a 2nd opioion tomorrow for sure from another warden or staff just to be on the safe side.

That may be partly correct and partly incorrect. If cougar is not still open, then you should still be able to hunt coyotes and bobcats, but you'd have to use a rifle that was less than 24 caliber to be legal.

my wife drew a tag, and we didn't get a packet. i called the number and got dean's voicemail. he's on vacation from dec 20 to jan 9. thanks a lot *censored*! manage a hunt and leave during most of it. as for needed this placard to hunt, you are full of it! i can assure you that the LCSO did not tell you that, and do i need the placard to hunt on my own property in the winston? you don't know what you're talking about. 

Correct. The Access Permit is for WeyCo land only. Plenty of private and state land to hunt without it.

Well yelmhunter you told us how easy it was going to be so where's your pictures?

[bloodhound]

I got my packet in the mail today.... The elk have been running crazy since Sept.... But they have had a break since December 9th... You won't need to scout for this hunt. You may not even have to set up camp. I know I wont. Even though I'm going too. Were are you guys planning on camping at? It should be opening day and out with your cow by 12noon!! Good Luck and we'll see you around. I'll be in a Blue Chevy!

we are waiting!

Well Iceman got it done the first day. But I wonder if Yelm Hunter messed up his karma by talking about how easy it was going to be?

Hey Yelm Hunter, back on the 18th when you were saying how easy it would be I requested pictures before dark.  It is now 11pm and still nothing. I thought you would have your elk by noon? (Your words not mine)
