Yes, that's the way I described. When you get into Toutle turn right at the gas station. If you've got a Weyerhaeuser map that should show you the way. The gas station usually has maps. Or take a look at the "Go Hunt" map on the WDFW site.
That would take him through Castle Rock up to Toutle. Its quicker to go through Toledo on 505 to the cutoff. Take a right at the stop sign at the end of 505.(13 miles). Take a left at Drews store. About 5 miles.

The only way 505 could be faster is if you drive well over the speed limit. I do drive back that way sometimes just for a change in scenery, but it takes about 20 minutes more than going through Castle Rock.

Don't forget the state land on the south side of the unit as you head towards Cougar. That holds some elk. Sorry it's way past the deadline but if you draw you can look there too.oh ya... where I that at?
is there a map I can get for state land for that unit?

My daughter drew the youth cow elk over thanksgiving. I haven't been in the unit since my father had the archery tag. Is the state land the best bet for us? Can I buy a Weyerhaeuser permit to hunt the rest of the unit? Anyone who has spent time in the unit during late November, I would appreciate being sent in the right direction. She will be stoked when I tell her.
I would buy the Weyerhaeuser access permit. It will give you a whole lot more area to hunt, and especially more area that is clear cut. The state land is mostly timber.

Thanks for the info. I drew the muzzy Bull tag. The I'll check out the state land for a place to camp & set up my wall tent. Shoot me an email & I'll let you know how my hunt went. :tup:

My son drew the youth tag as well. I guess I will bite the bullet and by the weyco permit. I have never set foot in the unit so I guess we have lots of scouting and learning to do.
The only hard part about that hunt will be trying to find an elk without hoof rot. Sorry to say.

It's an easy unit to learn fast. As said above hoof rot is bad in there.

Permits are $160 each and are valid from August 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016 (except during periods of extreme weather). Permit sales will start June 10th at 6:00 PM and end July 31st at 7:00 PM, or when the 5,000 permits offered sell out.
Should be plenty of time to scout.
