Well we have made two different scouting trips over to the area. The first trip was just to get a lay of the land. We drove over 200 miles on gravel roads finding which were blocked so we could decide where the pressure would be. We didn't see much for animals but that is to be expected for just driving around. We spoke with some locals and got a little bit of knowledge on the area and began searching new areas. At the end of the weekend we threw up a single game camera up a major game trail leading in to a nice green field tucked away from plain sight. Total we saw a bunch of deer, elk, moose and bear sign.

Last weekend we headed over again. Dang that place has gotten dry. We spent all weekend looking for water sources and hiking. We were able to mark off a few locations that we thought would be promising since they weren't what we expected. We were able to find a couple water sources that i imagine the elk will be near. We found a decent amount of elk, deer, and bear sign in most of the areas we concentrated on. This time we set out 4 cameras in various locations feeling really good about our game plan.

We will be heading back over on Sept 6th until the 17th for our season. Weather looks to be in the mid 90s..... not conducive to hunting but what can you do.

Here are a couple pictures we got from our first camera. We got 4 bear, 10 nice whitetail bucks, a cow elk, and some other critters.

The only elk I've ever seen in the unit was probably 15 years ago way up my Molson.

hi, I live in Oroville,wa. I actually have property not to far from chesaw. you want to hunt the game land west of chesaw. eventually you will have elk come thru there. although there may be a few like 2 or 3 hunters that hunt bow for deer. The herd in this unit is roughly 300-350 animals. there are some nice bulls here. There is a fair amount of private around the game management area. make sure you know your map. as far as land owners letting you hunt probably not, I have lived here 30 yrs. very few let you hunt now days. Also there is a chunk of land with a herd around muskrat lake. again know your map. but you can access both areas from the road. good luck! Hope you get your animal!
