I was headed to the Pasayten or Chelan Rec area, but NM is calling my name this year. I couldn't tell you which has the biggest gene pool. ANy of the Chelan country seems to produce big animals. I've seen some boss hawgs in the Teanaway, and several migrators out of the Pasayten are big. I've yet to see a true hawg in the Pasayten, but they have to be back there somewhere as they migrate out of there.
