Had this permit 3 different times when it was a ten day hunt. Now it is only a five day hunt and that will make it a little tougher but still an easy bull hunt.This tag has never been 10 days "AND" is in the prime of the rut. I drew the Peninsula tag the second year it was out. Great hunt that time of year. There are a couple of guids in Forks that told me with that tags they could guarantee a 370 class bull. Good chance for a bigger one I didn't have the money so I did it on my own, if you have the bucks get a local guide. Here is a picture of a Quinault bull. Her husband bow hunts that unit and hunted/scouted the archery season for his wife, she shot this one on the last evening of that season. She passed on other bulls.

ahead of time. A few years ago we had a quality tag near there, we never even saw
the other tag holder. If you don't already know I'd start figuring out which parts are
private land so you have that all squared away. Good luck, you definetly have an
Oppurtunity for a nice bull.

It was a bull tag for anybody to apply and there used to be a master hunter tag there also and it was 10 days. I used to put in for the any body elk tag. This permit hunt only started when the quality elk hunts started and always has been 5 days long.This tag has never been 10 days "AND" is in the prime of the rut.It was ten days as an Advanced Hunter hunt, and was October 1 to 10.

The "Quinault" bull permit was 10 days long for decades. It used to be 5 rifle permits for ten days during the early archery elk season. Then it was switched to the 1st of October through the tenth. Then in recent years it was shortened to 5 days and moved back to September.

Yes I know that, the statement was made that this tag was 10 days long. This tag is a different tag all together, Quality elk Prime rut in September with a gun, not a bull tag that was 10 days in OCT. Same name different tag/hunt.Had this permit 3 different times when it was a ten day hunt.

nine points as a group, it seems you can hunt the river bottom, its a short hunt, but it looks like theres a big number of elk in the unit, plus you can hope one of those big park bulls come walking over to say hi. Its gonna be a good hunt no matter what, I was just curious as to if anyone has experienced that hunt season and the amounts of people in the unit
Been on the early oct hunt 2 times. My experience was the bulls were pretty quite and when you got close they did not want to leave the herd at any cost. Hope you find a big guy in the river bottom.
That is a super area and your earlier date should be a plus.Good luck!

I helped a guy who drew that tag a couple years ago butcher his elk on a river bar. They were bugling good and they were in them every day. I don't think you will have competition from tribal members, their season opens July 1st so they will have already been hunting for a while. It should just be the permit holders. The guy got a reasonable 5 x 5 but there was supposedly a 6 x 8 in there that he could have potentially got.
I was the guy who shot the reasonable 5 x5. Thanks again for the help. There were bulls bugling every day, mostly in the late evening. There were some big bulls in the park, including a 6 x8 and a giant 7 x7. They stayed on the safe side of the boundry...
