Understood, yet those screen shots are representative of what to expect in respect to terrain and conditions without pin pointing your intended area. Having tramped that ground in years past I am familiar with that area and conditions to be expected. Good luck in your endeavors.  :tup:
Whatever........

there should be lots of human company there with you
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Thats all pretty darn tough country. The high hunts aren't generally high producers, especially up there. In my opinion thats not the reason most guys do them though. I planned on hunting buckhorn wilderness this year but a couple family members drew tags that need my help in scouting. Keep it up, the scouting you are doing now will put you ahead of most of your competition.

Bring a jet pack.  Mt rose has a couple trails that service it, maybe better deer numbers, and more hikers. Never hiked it, but map studied it. Mildred I've done twice. Jimmy Hoffa is dead on it being a roots and rock trail. Hard trail to keep to sometimes. First time I did it, I hiked it at night. I figured that since I'd packed mules and hiked at night in some pretty big country, no big deal.  Big mistake. Ended up bedding down on the trail, then finished the next day.

Welcome to the Olympics boys.  I make no claim to be an Olympics olympian, but i've hiked and backpacked it for over a decade and there is one rule there... if the original explorers wanted to get somewhere, they made a trail straight to it, through whatever was in the way and thought switchbacks were for sissies.  LOL

In my humble opinion, there's not much that's better hiking or backpacking in WA state.  It's a completely unmolested massive area, but unfriendly to those wanting to get a lot of gear in, or an animal out.  The Skokomish, Brothers and Buckhorn Wilderness areas would be very tough hunts imo.  I've seen deer all throughout there, but it would be a challenge to get to them.  Extremely rugged terrain.  I've always said i want to hunt the high buck hunt though, one day, if not just for the experience alone, but i'd take a long range rifle, that is for sure.
