I cut my teeth hunting blacktail deer in this area in the late 1960's to late 1970's. compared to today, it was awesome success on big bucks for my father and I.
Back when Weyerhauser first started charging access, I quit hunting the area, motorized anyways. Main focus shifted to east side muleys.
2012 finds my vehicle with the Hancock access sticker on the windshield. got it mainly for archery seasons.
with the charging this year of $75 for any hiking, biking or horse access on Hancock Snoqualmie land ; I bit the bullet for motorized access.
lots of deer, bear in the entire area. But you will need to put in your time and scout. They're not just everywhere in there.
