Ryderwood is a good one. I got my raghorn there last season. However, a lot of the better hunting areas in the Ryderwood/Boisfort are walk-in only. A timber co. has bought a lot of the land and keeps the gates closed for motorized vehicles. St. Helens is another great place to hunt, if you dont mind hiking to the bottom of the drainages and doing some work. Most of the folks around there roadhunt and spook the elk to the bottom of the drainages and into big timber. There are some real bruisers that wonder out of the Loo-Wit and down into Smith Creek, Bean Creek etc. One thing for sure is if you get one down, be prepared to pack meat all day and night. It can get to be one tiring pack out going in and out of those canyons. |

Hello Guy's, I contacted Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, talked to Mark a Customer Service Specialist WDFW Licensing Division (360) 902-2457) He's sending me a Big Game pamphlet when they get printed and along with the great advice I have received here I hope to be able to get a good hunt setup. I send for a Michigan elk tag ever year but I have a better chance winning the lottery. Thanks for all the help with this. Hope to share some great moments with you here after the hunt. Regards, Bill |

Good luck with your hunt. If you haven't already seen it, you might want to watch the video by "Angry Spike Productions." They are hunting in the same general area you're talking about, and it might help to give you a perspective at least on what the country looks like. Of course the only problem with watching that video is that it makes it look easy. I think what you don't see is how far they are going in behind locked gates, to get to where the elk are undisturbed and aren't afraid to bugle, and act like elk do when they are in the rut. |

Bob - I am glad you brought up that video. The first one is great, and the second one is LATE. I know it should be out soon, but I can't wait much longer. Browsing the members list I see that an ASP memeber is also a member here, maybe he can give us a release date? |

The 05 season was good stuff.I bow hunt elk in south west washington so there videos are more realistic to my type of hunting than the big videos. Keep it up guys. Rodger |
