I have hunted there since I was a little kid, shot my first deer there when I was nine.

My grandpa was the guy that lived up there and opened the gate for about 20 years. I bet he gave a few guys on here a hard time as he was kinda a hardass. lol

There are some good bears up there, if you want pm me and I would be glad to give you some info or take you up and show you around.

yep ol vern, had my ass chewed by him several times when I was cutting up there, till I bought one of his guns then we were best buddies. If he didn't like you It made for a long day.internal rumor is the indians could end up buying from the puyallup river everything south.

I went in one time for five days alone up the mowich,I told vern Ill be up the mowich,be out friday..He said so..I aint gonna look for you..he was alright.those days are gone.heinz and his wife were good folk also,if ya knocked down an elk in the walk in he would drive in and help ya get it out.

[BONE COLLECTOR]

did you ever figure out what a warhoop is R.R.?

[Ridgerunner]

I think I got it figured out, I just needed some verification that what I thought it was really was it was.

[Justin C.]

Yeah my grandpa's name is Vern.
I sure wish it was like it was before champion sold. It doesn't seem like much changes for the better.

[rasbo]

yeah it was way cool then,taught both my sons to drive there,got their first deer there,and my wifes..
