This will be my first year also. I plan to hunt Elk archery this year. Downloaded onxmaps (great tool to use). Looking for hunting areas in the south around Mt. St. Helens and other areas in the Gifford National Forrest. I'm not claiming to be a guide or a professional hunter by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have experience in back country bug game hunting. If you want to try and work together, shoot me an email at Dtray332@gmail.com. Dave
