I've been hunting there my whole life, killed a ton of deer and am thinking of moving on and we have a house on wolf Creek in Winthrop. The herds have been crushed by wolf's, cats and bears. All you have to do is look at the deer kill count on the road sign. It used to be over 400, now under 200. And the local biologist is a huge liar with an agenda about the situation. My group of 15 guys is about to take our group and money out of there.

I honestly would suggest looking elsewhere and not for selfish reasons.

Imagine taking a dogsled over that before the road was 4x as wide.

There's a reason ther's a place along that road  called Dead Horse ;)

Back to the OP's post.  If you have family with property near Twin Lakes, that's where I'd be hunting.  More bucks in that private area than anywhere else these days in the Methow.  Just gotta have permission, which it sounds like you do.

Trust me, I have the porch hunt option too. We could fill our tags in our PJ's and have before. Done with that. I'm talking hunting..

I've tried hunting there before with my uncle (he missed on a 3-point). I heard a lot of shots and saw a few other hunters. Was thinking about going back. Sounds now like an area to avoid? I thought I would have a shot if I was to get far enough away from all of the other hunters...

If you get off the roads and hike a bit, you have the place to yourself.
