i would say if you have an eastside tag you can narrow it to 3 if you have a westside well isn't white river westsideHe could have a multi season tag

I would concentrate on the early season for sure, while the elk are rutting. Of course you may be shut out of Weyerhaeuser at that time (due to fire danger,) but there will still be state land open for hunting.
You're going to have to bank on all the Weyerhauser gates being closed, so get familiar with you bike the next couple months. Also, I would suggest becoming quite efficient with your calls. Those bulls in st helens area are way easier to come within range that time of year than cows. So with a couple scouting missions and the right attitude you should have a successful hunt.

can anyone advise on the weyerhauser parts of the unit where I can put some miles on my boots and get away from the regular joe.
Once the results are official send me a pm and I will give you a few areas to check out.

Don't worry about Weyerhaeuser. It probably won't be open in September anyway. Should be plenty of opportunity on the state land.
Is the toutle unit Weyerhauser property treated differently than the rest of the St. Helens tree farm?

I dont know what part of the unit most of u guys are hunting seeing all the small bulls, my brother drew this tag two years ago and we seen plenty of 6points. He harvested a 6x6 that scored 322 :archery_smiley:We are talking about the Tuccanon not the Toutle?! :chuckle:
Plenty of 6x6 and 300 class bulls in the Toutle! :o You must of hit the great valley!! I would like to see that pic of your bro 322 bull out of the Toutle!! there can be a big one's in there but its not like it was in the 80's and 90's where you would see monster bulls in the Margret and Toutle everytime out!! its like they all got kicked in the Balls and they just rag out.. There are some toads in there dont get me wrong, I just know when I was hunting it i probably seen 25-30 bulls and 250 was probably the biggest..

I think their plan to reduce the number of elk in that area is working.
Have you seen the number of rifle cow permits they've been giving out in the Toutle and Coweeman units? :o
