Tough season.  The rut just starts the last few days of the hunt.  I always hope for the nasty weather in this unit to help get things started.     We used to draw this permit with only needing 4-5 points on average.  I am going to post another buck taken out of this unit on this permit.  Looking for photo.

I also have hunted the Tunk Mountain area and seen some good ones.

Are most of the areas referred to public land or do I need to try and get access to private property.

There is a lot of public land.  Check this out..

Thanks I'll have to make a few scouting trips this summer and early fall to check out some of these areas.

highlands snow park.As you come up the rd. from Havillah once you get on public land theres a gated road on your right then past that theres another on your left.Hike either one and drop into the draws toward the fields of Havillah.The roads may even be open before oct.1st alot of the roads in the area get gated after that.

Most of the area you just described is private land.  Also much of it is leased by a local outfitter.

Sounds like I need a good map that shows land ownership. thanks for the input

mtnmuley those roads are both fs roads as long as you have a good map and know where you are at and know how to use a gps theres alot of land there to hunt.The road on the left goes back miles.Yes the area is leased THE PRIVATE PROPERTY not the nat. forest and yes there are a ton of wtail there not only on the private property you just have to know where your at like always.Had someone patrolling that area 3 yrs ago during muzzle season came up to me said this area was leased by --- outfitter.I stated outfitters are leasing public property now huh?After a few mumbled words he turned around and left.This would be one of the areas I hit if I ever get that tag.Earshot or methowman if you have any ?s you can pm me goodluck with that tag keep us informed in nov.

Yea, we hunted over there last year and I noticed that outfitter had posted some of his signed in places that are public land. 

We hunted mainly off the 100 road. Seen quite a few in that area.
