If you look at the harvest reports, you will see that some units do not have archery listed, while others do not have muzzleloader listed.

I have the same tag and was thinking the same thing. I know the Manastash area pretty well, but not the Umtanum. Plan on doing some looking around in that unit. It's hard to leave the area I know though. My concern is hitting the Manastash right after the Labor day crowds and trying to fill my first BB tag. Good luck with your tag.
Most of them roads are washed out but there are round about ways in there so it might keep the labor day crowds down for ya

There might be people in 340 hunting cows and spikes, but there are way more elk in the Manastash. Not even a comparison. Even down in the low ground around Tamarack Springs and Joe Watt Canyon. I don't think people realize how many resident bulls are in those canyons in September, plus no dirt bikes down there :)
....as if there aren't enough people in there already. Theres a lot of monster bulls up high too, just get at least a mile or two off the roads wherever you go and youll at least have a chance.

I would rather have an observitory bull tag then any other elk tag in the state I spend lots and lots acually every weekend in those woods and boy o boy there are some nice bulls
Who knows we might've passed each other up quite a few times over the years and didn't even know it. :dunno: I'm in the observatory quite a bit throughout the spring, summer and fall for various reasons outside of hunting but, hunting as well during the fall time. Good luck this year and yes there is bulls in there if you get out of your car and get off the road. :tup:
