2012 Toutle Archery Bull Tag.. Need some help

[sirmissalot]

Pray for rain

Was down there Fri night & Sat. saw a few, too much snow still on the 3000...trying to relearn the area, had the tag 9 years ago. I possibly will be on this hunt alone. I can call good if anyone else has the tag and might want to trade off trying to call in bulls for each other, or anyone who doesnt archery hunt wants to call for me..  Any info on the area would be greatly appreciated, please PM. Thanks! Sean

...maybe even get to see a 300 if your lucky(yes there is 300 inchers in the toutle)

Yeah , 1 out of 500 bulls maybee 

[Opportunist]

Yeah maybe. Always ask for pictures of all the 300" bulls KILLED in the toutle.        Every year.

Toutle is a fun archery hunt, ton of bulls. Hopefully Weyco will allow walk-in this year even if the woods do close up for fire danger. But at least a guy can hunt the late season if you get closed out for fire danger in the early and in the late the gates will be open so you can hunt the whole unit.

[Dr. Death]

Yeah, I know that there might be only 1- 300" bull in the whole unit, so I'd just like to get a nice bull and have a good hunt. Big thing is staying away from everyone else. Id rather hunt 1 bull by myself then hunt 10 bulls with 20 others doing the same thing.

I was down there on sat and seen two really nice bulls. I dont think they will ever get to thhe 300 mark but good shooter bulls for sure. We ended up seeing a total of 9 branched antler bulls. A little advice we would have seen 0 if we stayed in the truck.

ive hunted that unit im very familiar with that unit. lots of elk in there. fire danger is usually a problem with that tag. if you put some miles on your boots you should not have a problem filling that tag. i live about 20 minutes from there. good luck make sure and post pictures

throttlejocky20 , you didnt happen to have black Toyota/Nissan with a bunch of tool boxes in the back did you? 

[wackum]

I drew the cow tag, and will be down there scouting through out the summer.I would be glad to share info or team up.

Grey Nissan Titan.

I was up tueseday for first time. Wow lots a elk!  We saw dozen bulls 2 were spikes and about 40 cows total.  Roads a little confusing with weyco land mixed in there and gates.  Still learning.  Wish snow was melted!

If you want a reference for what an above average good Bull for Toutle looks like; look for the Toutle thread from last year and see Coweemanslayers bull he killed (I believe that was his name) anyways that was a good Toutle Bull, typically you'll run into a bunch of 5's though.  Regardless of size, I think you'll have a fun hunt full of action.   

[TheHunt]

You will have a lot of fun...  I helped a buddy down there last year on his muzzleloader cow tag. He hunted one day and was done.  Hint:  Get our of your truck.

The unit is in my back yard, all I can say scout but when the season starts you need to be in the timber. The one thing that is going to work is calling, BUT DON'T OVER CALL. you are going to have lots of hunters in the woods at that time, all the cow and bull tags. the deeper you go the better you are going to be.If you need a place to camp I am right off the 4100 road and am offering camping this year.

How much money you want to camp. And is the shower in the house part of the deal!
