Black Snake Ridge is your best access to that unit, and you are hunting right away. But it's no picnic, steep and deep. The qaulity of the bulls in the shed has went downhill some waht from years past. Hope it's just a trend.

Your pics aren't from the actual shed are they? I'm assuming there from Blue creek.  No doubt there's some killer bulls in there but the days of a slam dunk monster bull just because you drew the watershed are in the past. It seems the monsters are in Blue creek , Dayton and Wenaha in recent years.  That being said 2 years ago the shed guys pulled some nice bulls out of there.   With the amount of scouting time your putting in which seems to be way more than the average Joe, I'm sure you'll have a good hunt.  If you end up on Lewis Peak stop in and say hello last cabin on the left headed up.  By the way I was up there Friday and the weather was awesome already felt like Fall.

 :yeah:
Friday was chilly.  I was up there with CoryTDF and his dad checking the trail cam.  Had a herd of elk on it and a cougar.  I'll try to get him to put the pics up when he gets back from camping.

I spent Friday night up on the 3211 trail.  Pretty foggy Saturday morning and limited the glassing.  Sure felt like fall to me.

I leave for my hunt tomorrow afternoon.  I just wanted to thank everyone that helped me out with the info.  I took 8 scouting trips down to the shed with 5 of them being overnighters.  I think I am prepared for what should be a great hunt.  I heard tonight that there is 6-8 inches of snow where I plan to camp and 12-14 on top with more snow predicted for tomorrow night.  Thanks again to those that helped a newbie to this site.

Good Luck!  This weather should make for an interesting hunt, usually it's 55 and we're hunting in long sleeve t-shirts, I'm looking forward to it the snow and cold I hope it gets the animals moving.  Hope you knock down a nice bull!

After reading this thread I cannot wait to hear from you. I sure hope you put a good shot on a 350 bull.

GOOD LUCK

Access is going to be your biggest problem with the weather. Stuart Cabin has a trail as does Lewis Peak. Lewis Peak is owned by a private party but he may provide you access to the Watershed Trail. Biscuit Ridge is another access spot. Once you have an access point to the Shed trail try and head towards Green Peak and drop in to Watershed from Green Peak or just before the Peak. Green Peak can be a real popular area for Watershed Hunters. Plenty of snow so do not drop in to far and find a spot and glass and watch. You will see Elk. Good Luck
