I got my elk during the regular muzzleloading season in the Yale unit. The area I got it was close to private property, and I think the elk hang out in the private area the majority of the time, I caught a nice 4X4 that made a mistake and followed the herd onto public property. If I were you I'd hunt the 6600 road on the border of the toutle and yale unit. I beleive this is an anterless tag? With any luck, snow, deer hunters, and toutle tag holders will have pushed some herds into your area! Good luck, FC.
