Hancock - Snoqualmie forest?

[rittem1]

I've entered on the Northern end many times.

Seen deer and bears.

There's a lot of land there.

I'm debating whether to go after it for mod elk or hunt south this year.

I park and bike in.

I think few people who hunt live in Seattle/Eastside, so 460 gets less pressure.  I see no reason why there wouldn't be a good supply of deer.  Last year a good amount of bulls were taken during modern.

That's my plan for this season. I plan on getting day permits for a few days in the summer to do some mountain bike scouting since it will be my first time up there. It is so much closer to home and the $8 per day fee is a heck of a lot less than I spend driving down to my usual spot. My only concern is a detailed map isn't provided unless you buy a motorized permit. I guess that's what REI is there for.

I biked about 12 miles back one day.  Last two miles were pushing the bike up a hill.  Never doing that again!

You can get the vicinity map from hancockrecreationnw which shows you the roads and gates.  Otherwise I just use google maps.

PM me if you want more info.
