Cannot hunt kapowsin even with the incentive tag, you can hunt mashel, but not anything that lies in the kapowsin boundaries. I'd say white river you'll have to put time into which is good if your ok hiking deep, maybe check out south rainier etc. Down there.
Well thats sucks. I used to live a mile from Kapwsion 16 years ago and saw monster bulls quite a bit behind the gates.

Everyone is going to think there area would be the best because that's where they spend the most time....the truth is they all have big bulls
Definite top picks in no particular order
Hunting along the border either in the white river or south rainier on down to mt adams area
The coast hunts,Quinault/clear water/park border stuff
The stuff between...west white river, mt st hellens area
I would do my best to look into all of them to find something I liked

I ran into a couple people a few years ago who were drawn for Mashel antlerless muzzleloader permits that fell outside of the general elk seasons when Hancock closes for their elk permits. Hancock allowed them to hunt and harvest because it wasn't during the general elk seasons. I would say it would be worth asking Hancock to make sure since there are still permits available.
If they by chance said yes it is a no brainer where to go.

There are not any elk there, it is too thick, too steep, and no place to camp...

The largest bulls that i have ever seen while actually out hunting in this state are in a fairly no named unit in the south west, but it pays to know your backyard.
When i look for a place to hunt good bulls, i usually look for places with low elk numbers low elk numbers = low people numbers, low people numbers= better age class of bulls.

Hancock allows the late muzzy hunt for cows to happen in the main gate... I can bet money that they will say no to even a incentive tag, only bulls that get hunted are by there drawings in there which sucks for this sort of case, can't hurt to ask but iv herd thru the grape vine from plenty that they will say no

As said before.... Lewis River, South Rainier for a Cascade Roosie or Quinalt or Clearwater for a real Roosie.
Oh now you started it!
"Cascade Rosie"
Wouldn't that be a "Columbia Coastal Cascade" or is that a "Bench leg Rosie"

The West side of the Olympic peninsula is horrible hunting, especially in the Quinault and Queets watersheds. I thought I saw a bull once, but it turned out to be a naked hippy walking down the logging road. I'd stay east of I-5.
Ya, those 2 areas have been pretty shot out................................ NOT :yike:

Seriously. All kinds of treaty tribes up the coast. The elk are dead. If there were any left in the park, they were out competed by mountain goats.

I'd say if you pick an OP GMU, hit it early. Even set up your camp way early before the other bowhunters start moving in. And don't be too surprised if the tribal hunters are hitting it hard right before each season opens.

I had a rifle rut tag in one of those units just a few years ago and I can assure you there were plenty of Bulls to be had. I was warned about the tribal hunters. Hunted hard for 8 days. Never saw another hunter in the woods period :yike: Nuff said.
Post by: Bigshooter on June 25, 2016, 12:54:52 AM
Westside tag offers a lot of options, depends on what your looking for and what kind of hunting you like. I prefer the 513 and 516 areas and not only because im permitted for those areas but at least you can get away from all the brush and people. The bulls we take out of those units average 320+ but we have taking a few 350+bulls out of there also.If you have any questions dont hesitate to look us up information is free.lol
Good luck on all your hunting adventures

:yeah:
If I had the west side incentive tag I wouldn't hunt anywhere else if you want a big bull. If you want to do a back pack hunt. Hunt the goat rocks wilderness area. Hunt it early and don't shoot anything smaller than 320.

Wasn't that like 8 years ago? :chuckle: Ok, ok, ok. It's decent hunting, but things have changed a little since the timber companies have limited the access. Lot more pressure on public land.

Ok you got me :chuckle: The master hunter requirement keeps this area decent quality. It's a small area with some good honey holes, but you got to work it. My brother hunted with the incentive tag holder last year in that unit. All I can say is I really need to draw this tag before I lose interest in big Rosie bulls :drool:
