Personally speaking and IMO I expect the High hunt to be extremely crowded this year with the fires here in the Methow and a good portion of the normal PUMPKIN PATCH areas being burned, either that or the pumpkins are going to stand out like a wart on a models nose. Plus a lot of the areas that the granola eaters normally hike are also burned so they are going to be everywhere except up high and then while anticipating a solitary time this weekend bear hunting had more hikers come through camp than I have ever had come through any camp I ever have in all my hunting camps they're frigging everywhere. Will say the one that surprised me the most was the female nature lover that I supposed she never figured to be walking past a trail camera pointed at the trail, 200 yards from camp,we'll leave it as she was perky with no tan line up top
