When you get one down call 911 and a Sheriff will call a local farmer to bring a tractor out to assist you in gutting it out and loading it whole into your truck. The Sheriff will also run down to the local donut shop and bring you hot coffee and fresh, out of the grease donuts.

Post by: skywalker253 on November 22, 2012, 09:26:32 PM: Filled my tag in 2007 down there. Take I5 south and exit off on either Head Quarters RD, which will take you into the north end of the GMU. You can also head a little farther south and take the Rose Valley Road exit. When Rose Valley Road turns to gravel, take a left. Don't go straight or you will end up in the Toutle GMU. Watch the clear cuts and jack firs. I had the late November tag, which opened the Friday after Thanks giving. I filled it within 45 minutes. My suggestion is to find a high landing, where you can see a large portion of the area. Glass, glass, glass, and go after her.

Thats where I was for the general season.
Road hunters scared them all away, I got tag soup.

That is a real spot and not a real secret, the road hunters sit on it to the point of fighting over getting to see the cows first. Good meat tag I'm jealous.......

Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on November 23, 2012, 08:51:03 PM: We were up there today... I saw the smallest legal 3 point ever today... like 12 inches tall. Maybe 12 inches wide. 2 inch fork and a 3 inch eye guard. It was in the back of a truck. Rediculously small. It was legal though.

Cow tag will be easy to fill. The hard part is not shooting a cow with a calf. We have a cow tag in our group for this late muzzy season that would be easy to fill if he could find a cow without a calf.

Pretty sure if cody shot a cow with a calf and the calf sat there while we were taking care of it he would probably never hunt again.

Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on November 23, 2012, 08:54:43 PM: And the road hunters aren't seeing much. We have been pounding the thick stuff and into animals. But they are hunkered tight in the reprod... I got home soaked to the bone and I was supposed to be completely water proof...

Post by: Huntbear on November 23, 2012, 09:33:27 PM: Find the Alder patch.... I mean the one off Headquarters that runs clear down the mountain to the river at the bottom... just watch out for the damn feral horses... :bash: :bash: :bash:

But the elk are in there, guaranteed..

Post by: WDFW Hates ME!!! on November 23, 2012, 09:47:27 PM: I don't hunt headquarters anymore... That is a road hunters paradise. No more big timber and the reprod sucks. They thinned it a few years ago and left the branches on the ground. That really sucks.
