[savagehunter]

Is That info from a phone call I can only see online that the are not updating info online

[muleracks]

The Wenatchee River Range District is the source of the Chiwawa and Indian Creek closure information.
Their phone is (509) 548-2550.  The District Ranger would make a recommendation to the Forest Supervisor in Wenatchee who would cancel the Closure Order.
The Entiat Closure Order could also be cancelled if they wanted to; Entiat Ranger District (509) 784-4700.

they need to reopen it to atleast alpine meadows. No reason not to.

Called this am no plans to reopen any fire closures. Me and my son decided we are just going hiking with guns for 6 days. No real backup plan just don't wanna be crashing the regular spots. I liked the cady ridge over to pets loop idea but I read there not much water around the poets

[muleracks]

Cady Ridge is a good hunt with water at the spring just below the PCT junction on the north side or go over to Lake Sally Ann.  There should be water on the PCT above Meander Meadow.  After that you are either carrying water or dropping into the basins below like Cascade or Papoose Creeks on the Indian Cr side.  Not a bad idea to hunt/hike the loop and drop off of Poe Mtn. back to your vehicle.   Good luck and have fun.  Packing out a big buck is work; consider digital photos.

With so much of the access to the GP wilderness closed this year, I'm considering the westside of the crest for the first time. Hunted GP and Alpine Lakes the last three seasons, no shots fired but always fun backpacking with rifles.

No need to name drop specific areas, just curious what other's impressions are, has anyone had good experiences hunting blacktails in any of the open wilderness areas in the Cascades on the wet side for High Buck?

[muleracks]

We got word that the Chiwawa Road is now open to Alpine and the Rock Creek trail has been reopened.
Small victory for the High Hunters.   The Wilderness boundary is 4.5 miles up the trail.

[muleracks]

It's pretty tempting to pull the trigger in upper Basalt or around Garland or Smokestack.  Hunters actually need to drop into the basin and go past Raven's Roost camp before the Wilderness hunt begins.  If backpacking, I would want to find a monster buck before pulling the trigger; it would not be fun packing out of that basin.  Hopefully, the Entiat trails will be open next season.

That's why there are so many drop camps up there. Even more for the reg season with the Chiwawa open.
