I've hunted Williams Creek elk since I was 13 years old. It was great the first few years, I killed 3 elk in my first 5 years, and have yet to get one since. More and more people the last several years. I even switched to archery to get away from the hunters but it was no different.
I'm looking at the Baw Faw area outside of Pe Ell. I think it's in the Ryderwood unit, but maybe the Willapa Hills. Super rugged country and locked up for walk in only.

Going to have to work harder than the rest to get away from hunters.
