stay away.

Unpressured elk.  In cowiche,  could happen in december right behind the feed pens, but not during any open season.  Can still regurarly snag elk meat out of cowiche, but they ain't likley to be standing still for more than a few seconds at a time.  Just got to put in your time.

One tip.  the biggest kill is the first 2 hours of the opening day, then the last haf of the season after the pansy  hunters go home.

Does anybody know how much pressure the cowiche gets during early archery deer season?  im thinking about applying for the archery bull tag and want to hunt unpressured elk. i dont want to compete against people blowing bugles for fun.

Perhaps you misread my question. I am not referring to the rifle season. I want to k ow how many people hunt the early archery deer season which coincides with a special permit only archery branch bull season. Only 18 permits so not worried about that. I was more worried about if there's a bunch of archery deer hunters in there since there is a general season archery deer hunt.

your from yakima and never hunted up there?

 Yup thats right, i hunt/spend a lot of time n rimrock, bethal, bumping, and lil naches areas. I used to go mtn biking up reynolds creek area but nvr spent too much time hiking in there. Or even time in general driving the roads on the ahtanum side

How is the mountain biking up there? Any single track? Trying to find some areas to ride when the weather improves.

Single track would be in cowiche canyon wth walkers/joggers. But i just road on the old logging roads up around reynolds creek area then haul azz down hill barely missing the tire ruts  . And i used to go to umtanum too, but i sold my mtn bike.  Years ago so i havnt been to them areas for awhile, but cowichee canyon is nice.. nvr been on the dirt bike trails up in the mountains either so i wouldnt know

well in my opinion those areas are a little better for elk. i know ALOT of guys that hunt early archery in cowiche.  if im correct though it hasn't been open for early archery in the past two seasons or so.
