Less hunters early archery elk or early muzzloader elk?

[BoneCollector1]

Guys,

Do you usually see less hunters during the Washington early archery elk season or the early muzzleloader season?

I know there are about half as many muzzleloaders as archers but there are also a lot less areas open for muzzleloaders. 

I'm specifcally talking about the Southwest Washington areas if anyone has experience with both seasons.

Thanks for any help!

Well SW Washington is going to be +1 crowded next archery season if I have anything to say about it.

Should be able to get a decent idea on the harvest reports from WDFW.  I know those aren't exact but it's a start.
