I'd go with Icicle outfitters.  Lots of good camps, good country.

Need to choose a wilderness and then go from there.

We did drop camp with Cascade Wilderness Outfitters a few years ago and had a good hunt. Here is their website:  http://www.methow.com/c_w_outfitters/index.htm

If you end up going with them, PM me and I can give you some more information. You may be able to talk to them at the Sportsman's Show in Puyallup next weekend. That's where I booked our trip.

Are there outfitters who do drop camps in the Glacier Peaks wilderness area?

If you want to pay the money to do a drop camp, do it during the general season.  A LOT less people and the heat won't be such an issue.  Granted it will be cold during the general but that will also activate the deer a little more.

I have spoken with these people at the shows before, they have always been honest, helpfull and seem like a good outfit. That being said I have never hunted with them but I would check them out if looking into that kind of hunt.

thanks for the info guys the reseon we were going to do the early hunt instead of the normal season is i would like to take my old man.  He is a straight up animal while tromping around in the woods but he has alot of metal in his left leg and the cold really messes with his knee.  For anyone who has been successful in the early hunt how do you keep the meat and hide cool for the week if the outfitter doesn't come back until the end of the hunt?

It shouldn't be a problem keeping the meat cool in mid-September in the high country. Temeratures should get down into the upper 20's, low 30's at night. Hang your meat in the shade and keep it covered and it should be just fine.

Both good outfits.  I think the main difference would be what side of the Pasayten you wanted to go in on.  Steve is pretty much on the east side, and Aaron goes in up Harts Pass I believe.  The deer are about the same on either.  You should try to book them before the show circuit starts.
