Drew the mashel unit for deer and elk. As this is my first post and I don't plan on contributing after I get what I want, any advice would be gladly accepted  :tung:

well ill tell ya what ill give you one of my honey holes! go down that dig road until you hit those two roads on the left, take a right there follow that for about 16 miles then  take a right go straight for about 50 ft then take three lefts back to back then follow that for about 169 cm take a right then stop at the end of the gravel road, now there will be 7 different trails in front of you, the three on the left will take you to elk country and the one all the way to the right has some good heavy bodied black tail on it but the others just lead to wal-mart. good luck  :tup: :tup:

Seriously though. I live right outside of JBLM and aside from the range itself, statistically for westside it looks like one of our best options. Anyone got any advice I'll take it. I'll be my first year hunting so I've buddied up with a Utah Elk hunter and a New Mexico deer hunter so I'm pretty sure we're all lost!

You could try the elkspur horse trails.  About 6-7 miles end to end.

Wormfood - I didn't draw any tags. It was a joke because of all the guys that join just for free advice on their special tags. I was making light of the situation is all. Mashel from what I've heard is an overhunted location not far from where I live.

If you have a hancock permit you can hunt deer in the rut up untill the day before the rifle elk season starts. I will put in for that tag when the rifle elk season start the latest in the cycle, I think the latest rifle has started is around the 11 of nov. That's give you a great tag for rutting blackies on private property.

Speaking of big cats, I seen one off the mainline around the 5.5 mile mark just before bridge camp yesterday. It looked like a pretty healthy tom that hadnt missed any meals.

i grew up in elbe hills, it was the only place my family ever hunted, yes there is still a few nice bucks up there but the cats and poachers comin in from elbe town side, right off of bochers and a couple of other farms have hurt those hills bad, if you do have a mashel tag your best bet is to spend the first 2 weeks of nov in hancock you will pretty much have it to yourself, i know a kid thast drew that tag last year and cracked a stud up in hancock....

Were you in a black Chevy pickup on Sunday?  I passed one other guy right before seeing the cat.

I haven't been through there in a while. Scott Turner Rd tried to throw me off the side of a hill and I haven't been back since.  :chuckle:

 A few years back I shot a 5 point Black tail in the clearcut just past the ORV camp there...however that area has grown up quite a bit since then.

No, he said "Mashel"!

Just follow the tweakers, when they double back to break into your rig, go right at the ATV torn up creek bed, then left at the gravel pit shooting range. Talk to those intelligent people, shooting the ARs and high powered rifles a crossed the road, at beer bottles sitting on boulders and re-purposed refrigerators,
 "where all the big bucks at"?
Show some courtesy and wait until all twenty change over the 30 round mags before disturbing them.
They will give you all kinds of advise, then tell you to go back to your vehicle with the newly added "tweaker ventilation" and head down the main line and out the ORV area back onto HWY 7.
Keep travelling back and forth along HWY 7 between the park and Elbe, along with the other couple hundred hunters, until the buck or your dreams steps out to eat grass along the on the shoulder  hwy 7.
