Post by: JKEEN33 on June 16, 2011, 09:23:30 PM: If you are not looking for something like that in there, you are waisting that tag.

Post by: sagerat on June 16, 2011, 09:41:32 PM: Trust me, I'll be looking for that. Are they plentiful or will I need to hunt my a** off?

Post by: sagerat on June 17, 2011, 05:58:00 PM: Not too sad to me at this point. I'll actually be pretty happy with my 300win mag.

Post by: Crunchy on June 17, 2011, 06:40:22 PM: I would be to. You gona go in at Lester?
Title: Re: Green River Bull!
Post by: sagerat on June 17, 2011, 07:35:01 PM: I don't know. Should I? I really need to figure out the access issue, that's why I posted this. I assumed checking in and out each day would be required? Are there multiple access points? Also, is there any pre-season scouting allowed? I suppose some phone calls on my end are in order...

Congrats on the tag. You scored the best westside bull tag bar none! I have hunted the shed for deer, and I have a friend who drew the last tag before the shut it down back in 99. He shot a beautiful 6x7 on the opener. Rumor has it some guy shot a massive 360 + bull last season. I saw a pic of it at Work Sports in town. The picture is now gone, but it was MASSIVE. There is no scouting because it is a restricted area. You will see lots of bulls.

Get a good one!

Best of luck! Bryan Flintoff

Post by: sagerat on June 18, 2011, 05:02:21 PM: Thanks Bryan. I'm pretty excited! Don't want to consider it a slam dunk though. Have you deer hunted it any time recent? PM me if you'd like.

Post by: MooseStock on June 18, 2011, 05:59:08 PM: You can't go in through Lester. You do have to check in and out every day at the Headworks on the North side of the river or up through Massey's gate on the south side. I'm sure you already know but you won't be able to do any scouting before or camping inside the watershed gates during your hunt. They will send you a packet a few weeks before the hunt explaining most everything. You can also only take one helper with you but the Watershed patrolmen are pretty good at giving a hand if you need it. You can also usually take one bear and or a cougar if you have the tags but you can't shoot anything else including the many grouse you will see on your hunt. Hope that helps...........Les

Post by: sagerat on June 18, 2011, 08:37:47 PM: I'm all over it. Send me a PM if you don't mind sharing.
Title: Re: Green River Bull!
Post by: sagerat on June 20, 2011, 06:11:01 PM: Anybody know if they still log in the watershed?
Title: Re: Green River Bull!
Post by: trophyhunt on June 20, 2011, 07:11:40 PM: Yes they still log in the watershed, I have a friend that works for Wiess logging. Hope I spelled it right.
Title: Re: Green River Bull!
Post by: Crunchy on June 20, 2011, 08:31:24 PM: I figured Lester was the easiest access point, but I havent hunted the watershed so dont take my advice. ive hunted the border at Lester though

Title: Re: Green River Bull!
Post by: deerslyr on November 25, 2011, 09:33:22 PM: A friends mom killed a good one in there this year
Title: Re: Green River Bull!
Post by: Hornseeker on December 02, 2011, 08:11:57 AM: Back to the top? Anything Sage?

I used to have to go in there quite a bit near Lester to go collect hounds that were lost in there... and when I worked for Weyerhaeuser i used to be in there a fair bit and have seen some dang nice bulls, maybe 340-350 top end... there are bigger though.
