That's just what I was going to ask. If you're an archery hunter, you can find some spots to hunt by yourself. Muzzle loaders are somewhat limited on where they can hunt around here. But rifle season is an absolute war zone. With all the shooting, it gets down right scary at times. model70man, not sure where you should go but I can tell you where you don't want to be, unless you love crowds. I hunt the Williams Creek area between South Bend and Naselle and there are so many people it's ridiculous. Last year me and my buddy walked about 4 miles behind a gate opening morning of elk season. We were the first ones there (you better get up early if you want to be able to say that), but as we waited the 3 hours til legal shooting light we had 14 people walk past our spot :bash:. Who knows how many people didn't walk that far? My buddy's line was "well at least we don't have to worry about seeing any elk". This is 4 miles behind a gate. When i got back to my rig there was 11 other trucks parked there. You can imagine what the roads you CAN drive are like. |

I would be using a rifle. That sounds like a lot of ppl in the woods. |

I got a westside elk tag for the first time this year, I'm wondering if I made the wrong decision. |
| WDFW-SUX:
this thread is so funny :chuckle: Don't sweat the crowds they are restricted to the major roads step into the dark side and they all disappear................. |

Thinking I want to do a backpack hunt. Is that a good idea with all the ppl around ? what counties are good for this type of hunting ? |
