Looks like some nice bulls in the pic's. Sorry it didn't work out for you. Which season did you have the tags for?

[BOW HUNTER13]

It was archery,I was trying to get the older guys a quality hunt before they can't anymore .There minds are get but the bodies don't always agree.The fire was just bad timing,but it will make great hunting in the years to come.

Gorgeous pictures thank you for sharing!

There is a ton of area in that unit, plenty of places for the elk to find steep and deep territory far from roads or trails.  That said, there are accessible elk and it's a great hunt.  The hard part is drawing the tag, like most of the good draws in WA.

How is the backcountry looking sense the fires?

Probably need a snow machine to answer that question
