There may be some road troubles that could reduce the #'s. Long ways to September, but something to follow:http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8020846
I've been doing high buck for 2 years. Not once have I seen hunters at the trail head or in the mountains. The guy I go with has been hunting this area for 10+ years and never seen a hunter in the mountains .

no one talks about hunting 10 miles from the trail.

There are hundreds if not thousands of miles of trails on and off the maps.Obviously hyperbole. The point is that there are plenty of places in this state that hunters can have all to themselves. A few miles from the road is FAR different than a few miles from the trail, and that is what I wished to convey to OP. Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
Not a single hunter for three years and then last year my 'X' on the map became that for 20 others! It was a joke. I had 8 guys walk past me before 6:00 am on the opening day. Then to add insult to injury...an ass clown thought it would be funny to take a crap 30' from our tents. I'm not sure if it was a guided drop camp or what but the 12 hunters a 1000' vertical feet below us and a 1/2 miles away showed zero respect or courtesy that we were there regardless of the fact we were there first. This year going completely off trail...closest trail is going to be 3000 vertical feet and a mile below me...I'm going were horses and the hunters that they bring don't.
