I have spent all of my Wetside hunting days in the 448-437 units. I legit have seen NOTHING but a few grouse and a Mountain Beaver. Nothing but old bear scat, and a few older deer prints. An absolute dismal year for this side. To top it off, nearly every road that was open last year is now closed or has signs saying "No Motor Vehicles, No Walk in. violators will be prosecuted". NW Washington has become a joke.
Just for s**ts and giggles I drove over Deer Creek Pass (Finney Creek to Swede Heaven)... I've always read how people say this area is useless for hunting. Well, 2 grouse, miles and miles of walk in hunting and 8 hours later, I now know I never have to take that drive again. 448 unit and North, is an absolute waste of time if your hoping to AT LEAST see fresh sign.
