10+ boot miles will be much for successful than 100+ truck/4wh miles. Not trying to be a smart ass, just helpful. Generally by rifle season the Elk will be held up and in the thicker stuff.
How is this post being helpful?
Afterall he did state he was in a chair.

Would this be called putting your "boot" in your mouth?

Can you hunt the Little Naches? I hear that unit can be much easier to hunt out of the pickup. A good friend of mine is in a chair and had good success but his tag was both Little Naches and Peaches.

The Peaches Ridge permit is for the Little Naches and Taneum GMU's. And yes, I agree, the Little Naches would be the better option for road hunting.

Keep doing exactly what you are doing.
Spend the first couple and last couple hours hitting spots that you feel might hold the elk.
Spend the mid day hours talking with any one you run into.  Explain your situation.  You might be surprised at how much info you might gain from other hunters, particularly the ones who do not have a big bull tag.

Windshield time, keep logging windshield time!!!   :tup:
