Good bear numbers, but the cougar population and poaching has started to take it's toll on the elk and deer. Still some great elk to be found in there, but the deer population has been hit very hard. Used to see a couple dozen deer per day during early archery with a good buck/doe ratio. Now if you see two deer a day you feel pretty lucky.
I've seen some of the best Cascade bulls in Washington up there. Perfect racks that have everything a guy could want. I've also had a good number of opportunities messed up by the pot smoking granola heads. Seems to get worse every year up there with hikers, pot heads and fornicators. Not all the naked granola girls up there are good looking so I wouldn't put that in your plus column!
Potential for elk and bear in just about every area of Stampede. Would not be my first choice anymore for quality elk hunting. Hasn't been a good choice for deer hunting in 20 years. And, really there are better spots north and south of there for bear. But, the chances of getting a real dandy is there.
