Title: Toutle help
Post by: NickH on October 08, 2013, 09:09:46 PM: I drew a muzzie Toutle cow tag and have been hitting it hard since opening day, but yet to see a cow. I called in a lone bull, and that's it.

Any archers that were up in this unit that would care to give me some pointers, it would be much appreciated. Most of the guys I have run into with tags have yet to see anything. :(

I haven't had a chance to scout the south end where you're probably at yet. We're coming down there this weekend. Keep at it and good luck.

An as far as the 4100 goes I believe there not allowing vehicle access beyond that gate right now due to logging.. I could be wrong so don't quote me but I'm pretty sure
