Yes thats the green river watershed tag. You'll get plenty of info. Should be a great hunt. Plus after you tag out you can still hunt bears or cougars if the season is open.
Im super excited for this tag.

I will look through my phone and see if I can find some notes I took on my hunts in there. I drew elk in 2017 and deer in 2010 in there. I took a photo of the map at the guard station on my last day in there to get a general idea where all the animals were take from in that unit. Each person who takes an animal has to mark it on the map with a red or green sticker back at the guard/check in station. Its a fun hunt
Thats pretty cool. Do i need to call their office ahead of time to let them know my info before the hunt? Or just show up at the guard shack and show them my tag and im good to go? Im trying to figure out who i need to contact prior to entering the land during the hunt. I have some questions for them. Im going to be bringing my handicapped father for a couple days and was thinking of bringing my daughter along as well. She will be 3 by then and always asks to go hunting. Those days would be truck hunting only but thats fine by me. What should my expectations be for the green river? I know the last couple days of that hunt im going to be looking for any bull pretty much but early on would like to stick to a big 5x5 minimum.

They’ll send you the packing of info, I think you can only have 1 person w you unless you are disabled. Be first in line on opening day and hit the fields. Most people get their elk down low, it’s not a gimme by any means. My dad and I were in there for his deer hunt a couple years ago, we only saw one spike bull, but, we were up higher and looking for deer not elk. Have fun, and if you do kill something early, you can keep going in for bear or cougar. No harvesting grouse and you will see lots.
My daughter will be 3 years old when i do this hunt. She will probably only be coming along if my father or wife are. I can spot animals… but my wife.. she can spot elk like no other. I plan on talking to the guards at the sign in spot, but would you be saying most of the elk are taken closer to the river down low or the lower elevation cuts? Im going to be shooting a custom 300 wby mag and 190 gr barnes lrx and im comfortable out to 800-900 yards if need be. We practice a lot further that that but everything will really depend on conditions and if i can get a steady rest. Days that i dont have my wife or father i will have my buddy who is ex army and we will be hiking around areas that i see on onx that look good. I know its not a gimme, no hunt ever is, but i want to maximize the time i will have for sure and try to harvest a bull.

In my opinion this hunt is not great at all. I use to work in there and seen awesome bulls but it sure seems after they started Tribal hunting it really went down hill. Still nice bulls around but they won’t be near any road probably. Good luck, hope you do goodAnd now the tribe, mucks, can take elk when they want again. NO longer do they take the same number that we do, that agreement didn't last long.

I was in there 5-6 years ago with a buddy who had a deer tag, in 5 days we seen 6 elk, 1 small 4 point bull. Also talk to a security guards and they told me that any tags that the “white” people don’t fill they give them to the tribe. Places really gone downhill is all I knowIn my opinion this hunt is not great at all.

Why am I not surprised, no wonder the quality has gone down hill

Drew the permit for modern firearm green river unit elk in october. I remember reading some threads on here about having to talk to a company that owns a lot of the land. Just wanting a pointer in the direction of that companies name, if this is the case. Ive spent a decent bit of time in the white river unit chasing bears so i know the general area and i know what kind of bulls are in the white river unit… so id assume the same of the green river. Any info would be greatly appreciated, whether it be spots to scout or info about the company, though onx shows most of it is washington state land.
Did we ever see a follow up on this one?

A buddy drew the same tag. He said the access permits are sold out. His neighbor shot a nice mature 5x6 in the access area last year with this tag? Access permits ? Are u sure u know what unit he is talking about ?

Doesn't even sound like the cow tag is that good in there. Maybe I should stop trying to draw it.
That's my suggestion to you and everyone else :chuckle:
