White River (GMU 653) Deer Hunting Advice

[bigtex]

I hate to tell you this but if you live in Seattle the Snoqualmie unit may be the better buy.  I used the buy the Hancock WR permit every year (I live in Enumclaw).  It's a great area for bear, but that's gotten worse.  Still ok, but not as good as Snoqualmie from what I hear.  Elk seem to scatter around late August.  If you're deer hunting, shoot the first legal buck for sure, because if you see TWO we will all be floored.
