Gmu 460??

[JasonG]

Hello everyone,  Im hoping to hunt until 460 this fall for black tail and or elk . I'm a first time adult hunter. I didn't grow up in a hunting family but I have been an advid outdoors man , hiking, fly fishing camping , shed hunting. I guess I would say hunting found me. I want to take the next step and learn to hunt . I find myself tracking deer and elk following sign, learning there habits. I have a muzzleloader and modern fire arm. I'm looking to hunt the 460 unit this fall mostly because it's close to home for scouting purposes. Just wondering what you guys think good place to start? Any suggestions. I'm not looking for honey holes etc.. Thanks in advance Jason

The elk hang in the private property or in town.

I would definitely buy a pass for the Snoqualmie tree farm. That will open up a lot of area to you.

hair loss! they are coming back but about 5 yrs ago saw lot of deer with hardly any  hair on their hides..plus ive seen too many cats south of hwy 2..A bobcat and 2 cougars on my 7 acres..no shots available
I might add ive not hunted up behind my house for about 3 yrs'..I do go up there to shoot long distance and saw just bear,last yr almost hit a small cougar on my quad,not legal to shoot..but mighty temped.

I live in SNOQUALMIE and can agree that it isn't all that great.  Quite a few bear and cats.  Elk do hang on private property down low most of the time.  Most deer I have seen have been on the northern side of the unit.  Back in the Hancock property towards the alpine lake wilderness.

I was wondering about populations in the area due to predators.

Blue tongue is not hair loss. There is no blue tongue here.

blue tongue doesn't affect black tail or mule deer

I've seen so many cats in 460 the last few years, it's crazy.
