Another member drew it but said he's hunting on his bull draw tag instead.
What other tag did he draw? He should use the Watershed tag! I am surprised just as much as you are cook. I haven't seen much talk about it.

Maybe the majority didn't realize what it looks like and the restrictions, saw it from the top, and said forget that!! :chuckle:
It amazes me how every year there are a few that never even step foot into a unit they applied for.

I drew it. I've contacted a few members of the forum and have gotten a lot of help. Hoping to make my first trip to the glassing points around the edges in a few weeks. I'm serious about this tag and plan to scout and hunt it very hard. If anybody has any tips or insight pm me and I'll call you.

all new to this online thing, however, my mother in law got a watershed big bull tag and i am looking for any info with regardess to access to the unit, i understand that you can not get into the unit before season. any info would be greatly appreciated
A few access points to get into the unit. They closed the area where we used a couple years ago. Best advise is to drive up and look for access from Table Rock (thanks for correcting my phone toyman. Poor guy would be lost with my directions. LOL I see you are from the Tri-Cities, she has seen the shed. It is some steep country that you better be ready to tackle.

Its Table Rock, it is a fire look out about 30 miles or so outside of Dayton. If the pics work here are 3 from Table Rock, they are about 5 days old.

Opps stupid auto correct. Yeah Table Rock. Or even come from the Oregon side. Just follow Skyline Road I believe it will take you all the way around into Oregon.

He got a very big 6x6. After they got it out of the hole, he told his brother he was
never going down in there again. Well guess what? My friend drew the tag this
year.

I'm staffing Table Rock LO this summer. I've met a few hunters who drew the watershed tag and have come out on weekends to do some glassing into the area. There are some good spots along the Skyline road and near the lookout to set up a scope. Best to be there at sunrise and just before sunset if you want to see bulls. I've seen a few. I don't know about access from the west side. This would be a good hunt to have some mules. I'll be here thru September. Stop at the lookout and say hello if you are in the area for some scouting.
I was just up there like 2 weeks ago in my white cj with my beagle. Had i known i would of said hi.

This may have been the case most years but not last year. I was in there and there were lots of guys hunting it hard every day all the way to the end. In 07 we were by ourselves basically by the 3rd day, not the case last year. Drew some real hunters...

so my other question is how hard does one really get after it in the shed when u cant go in with a full pack and get in deep? U can only walk so far in the dark and hunt all day and have to walk out and be back to the truck an dup and it again.
When I was there it was it was spot and stock. I bedded a couple bulls and was going to go to that same spot in the morning but on my way in we rode passed my elk.

my dad pulled a dayton tag and ran into some guys who were hoping for a watershed tag (wa side). I have heard guys talking about the unit and the rules. There was a take off point from Dayton into the watershed and outside of the rules, I thought that tag sounded unreal :tup:
Watershed tag is a great tag but it doesnt come close to your Dayton tag.

U can only walk so far in the dark and hunt all day and have to walk out and be back to the truck an dup and it again.This is why most guys quit after just a couple days, it's a very rugged and physical hunt. Your best bet is to camp off the trail up higher and start from there, and take a good strong buddy with you for packing. You can have 1 guy with you during the hunt and if you kill something you can take 4 guys (total) to retrieve the animal.
