That's a pretty good permit to have. With only a six day season, I'd want to have at least 2 days before the season to find some bucks to go after. I can't give you any specific areas, it's been quite a few years since I've hunted the Alta, but I would stay as low as possible. Just above the highway between Pateros and Twisp. A lot of it is private but there's some state land. Otherwise just hunt the National Forest down low. I wouldn't go much more than about 2 miles from the highway.
Feel free to PM me with the location of any good bucks in the Teanaway that I can shoot on September 25th, since you have to save your tag for your Alta hunt.
