I'm brand new to this site and I thank you all as this is full of good information. Long ago I used to hunt LN during modern rifle with my father. I have been putting in for Peaches Ridge bull tags and I have been a loser for 9 years. I now have 10 points !!!! I'm planning on heading up to LN for the early hunt, can't leave until the morning of the 6th, probably won't be a bare spot of ground to throw down a sleeping bag.
I know most of Little Naches very well, but have never been out to Cougar Valley, Crow Lake, etc. Is that a good place to get away from the crowds, if it is possible?
What can I expect out there??? My plan is to have a base camp in the zoo/circus/whatever, and backpack in for a couple days at a time. Base camp is for the older hunters in my group who can't do the backpack.
Help!!!
