GMU 513 South Rainier
« on: August 27, 2018, 03:00:03 PM »
My hunting partner bailed on me this year, so I'm going solo, and thinking of trying a different area. GMU 513 Archery Elk. Hunted there a few years ago for muzzy, saw some elk then, nothing I could shoot though. Anyone have any thoughts about the unit for archery?

lots of people, especially when the gates are closed for fire danger.

:yeah: it’s going to be crowded this year, can’t wait to be sitting in a good area and have 3 guys walk past the meadow just before light.  Oh joy.  :bash:

I've always been eyeballing that unit Google Earth tells me it's a good area I would hunt I've been wanting to hunt the park border area I've seen some big rubs in there a long time ago during the elk season never could find elk in there though

I've been in there and it's been GREAT and I've been in there and experienced what I'd like to forever avoid.


Good Luck with your decisions.

The outfitters have already laid their camps down up there at the lakes. Good luck!

thats the other thing, a few years back the outfitters started hitting it hard and now they drop a bunch of camps all through that country. so many more people up there now than 10 years ago. pushed us into other areas with less folks and less pressured animals
