578 crowds?

[justyhntr]

For you that hunt or have hunted 578 during modern elk season is it crowded ? I see on the harvest report that there where 580+ hunters last year . Do you see people everywhere you go or are you just seeing people every now and then ?

Crowded people everywhere

Not to mention that there is a lot of private property and timber lands that are no longer open to the public to hunt on.

You'll be hard pressed to find a unit that has a lot of elk that doesn't have a lot of people in the accessible areas.

have seen hunters in vehicles line the roadways around the wildlife preserve, just waiting for the migrations~ always got a kick out of that.... 578 not what it was when it was an any area... the big kill on Adams a few years back hurt this area.

Big kill on Adams?

Big kill on Adams?

heavy snow kill a few years back (was my understanding ) of why they dropped from any to 3x bulls...

I really wasn't asking for elk hunting . It is one of the areas that we are looking at for deer hunting the first 2 week of Nov. . When I looked at the number of elk hunters in that area for modern it crossed my mind that it may be a bit crowded . My wife has the raffle blacktail tag and she would like to find a good buck and enjoy the hunt , we have 3 areas in mind . I think we will cross 578 off the list . Thanks for the info , it will save us some gas

I think there are good deer areas in 578 that have no elk, so no elk hunters. So I wouldn't cross it off my list just for that reason.

Yeah, I'd look elsewhere...looks like a pretty big fire in the unit today.

That fire is not anywhere close to the gmu 578. Its on the Yakima Indian Rez.

Sorry there HuntHard its closer to the 578 than you may think this is from Glenwood
