My brother had this tag three years ago. We were surprised by the amount of people in the unit even though there were only about 50 permits. The elk were vocal and fairly easy to locate - My brother filled his tag on the second morning with a nice 6x6 so we were out fairly quickly. Once we had the elk hanging we had lots of visitors in camp and most of the people we met that had permits were unfamiliar with the area, hadn't scouted and were sticking close to the road systems. I had hunted the Little Naches for 20 years and had scouted several times during September prior to the hunt so we had a lot of backup plans if we got crowded or didn't find elk where we expected. He ended up getting the elk less than a half mile from my tent. Also it was 85 degrees when I set up camp three days before the hunt and it snowed on us the morning he got the bull so the weather can be a bit unpredictable at that time of year. You'll have a fun hunt and I look forward to seeing your post with pictures of your bull.
