Need to go much farther North for quality westside bulls, I won't call bs on what people claim to have seen in there, but I have never seen, heard of, or even looked at a shed that had come from the flow thats a 300 bull, 280 is monster in there and rare.   I have and know of a lot of people that spend a lot of time there, and watch every elk that habits the area, and have for the past 20 years.  Maybe in Margarets Randle side there is bulls hitting 300 but not in or near the mudflow.  That little girl that killed that bull in there last year really did that tag justice.  Don't just take my word, you can glass everything right now from the highway side, and snow pack has everything down especially on the CastleLake side, its a little late now but a month ago you could have glassed for a week tell your eyes bleed and you won't see any 300 bulls.
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

Oh... Im not familiar with the St Helens Units.  Just saw two 6x7 bulls on the way to Castle.  Like I said I hunt the Olympics and was just trying to be helpful.   You can see the other side of the river that flows from Coldwater Lake.  6 to 8 miles...  from the hike in to Castle.  There are some big bulls in there...
Words of wisdom...Not from me but profound.
On Children

Your children are not your Children.
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing itself. They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you , yet the do not belong to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.  For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls.
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow.

All in all you have to consider it quality due to the amount of animals you will see.  The year my buddy drew the tag he took a good 6x6 and it was in a herd of 22 legal bulls.  He took the only 6x6 but said there were bigger 5x5's in the group, he just had his mind on a 6x.  Not many places you could see that kind of herd at one time.  Horn size doesnt make quality all the time
