Congratulations. Me and another buddy Have spent some time in there. Some nice bulls in there. There are some great glassing spots up there. Where you can glass lots of country.

7 series on a mountain bike isn’t a bad option. Hmmmm. So many ideas. I would network and have one picked out before opening day. Then be there set up in the morning on where he’s hanging out at. Your name isn’t Stefan is it? My buddy texted me and he drew too. So I believe there is only two tags so you guys are the only tag holders.

Let’s see some pictures from prior successful permit holders
I’ve seen em on google
And been up there with a friend who drew archery a couple years ago
Pretty cool area
They even have the old company lodge and meat cooler up in there
Reminds me of the old days
Recommend a CB and know how to call out your location to the log trucks

I grew up in Orting.  Back when it was all owned by St. Regis we hunted all over up there.  Then when Champion owned it there were a lot more gates put up.  Luckily my Grandpa was one of the dudes at one of the gate shacks, so we still got in.    It's all changed so much up in that area in the last 40 years, all I can say good luck to you!

Harold.  He sat mostly at the Electron gate.  I think sometimes he was at King Creek.

That used to be the go to plan. ORM now let’s some of the employees hunt it since they purchased the land across the bridge. Sounds like WW3 during rifle season up there😢
