Title: How's toutle area?
Post by: Martinhunter on November 23, 2009, 01:43:06 PM: Hey everyone, I'm thinking about hunting the kid valley area near toutle for late deer and elk. Would I be wasting my time or would it be worth a shot. I never hunted it before, I did some scouting in there in the summer just before they closed it due to fire danger, and didn't see a whole lot. I have my normal spots that I can hunt but was just thinking about mixing it up a bit this late season. Any help is appreciated. To those bow hunten this late season GOOD LUCK!!

We passed on a 4 point buck at 30 yards early archery and he was snorting up a storm. I saw 3 bucks and 5 does one day, they are there. The last deer I harvested was in the winston,nice doe, came home with 57lbs of deboned butchered meat.
