Sealice,

I was fortunate enough to draw a Margaret tag back in '98. It was pretty cool! Got what I consider a real nice bull, too. Only bad part was that was a fire closure year until after the first few days my hunted was supposed to start.

The western side (Weyerhaueser) is pretty grown up with walls of reprod takin' over what was outstanding elk habitat. The biologist for that area told me he doesn't really see a lot of huge bulls taken there, though there are plenty of "nice" bulls still to go around.

The draw odds these days speak for themselves; its about the best west-side option available. I'd love to get the chance again, but it may be a loooong wait!
