It looks like the northeastern corner of the State is getting hit hard again this year. The 07-08 winter kill, in that area, appears to have been much greater than the wildlife bios where reporting. I would stick with the east slope of the Cascades; Chelan County units where there is almost no snow and the Chinook Winds, a week ago,took off what was there.
If I were applying, my choices would be GMU 245, 246, 250 and 251. Mostly Entiat units without the Entiat name so fewer applications. The Desert and Entiat units are a little harder to draw and no better than the other for the trophy bucks.
