Are you modern/Muzzy or archery? Nearly every gate that i can think of from Finn Settlement on Lake Cavanaugh rd up allows hunting just no motorized vehicles. The longest RD in that area that may be good for bike in hunting is the main line for Serria pacific i think.. its gate is on N side of the road  just before Pilchuck creek. Its the burliest gate on the road with a metal fence across the front... also easie to tell because there is a sand pit 200 yrds in from the gate on the left hand side.. It also has NO real parking at that gate... Don't drive in even if its open because you will get locked in and have the sherrif called... I know a couple of close aquaintances that have been chased out of there while riding motor bikes.

I saw a guy pushing his mini bike in last year for bear hunting on one of the roads in that area.  Was it you?  I wouldn't worry about hunting it next year.  Everyone that reads the forum in the area will check out your location you posted.  Should be a lot more guys to chat with at least that view this forum.

Love the area, grew up driving all those roads with my dad back in the day before they gates the hell out of it...no deer sorry

I know that gate you are talking about, it is a burly gate.  Last year there were a lot of hunters on that road.  A lot of walk-ins, but there were even more drive ins.  It seems like every logger hunted in there and just opened the gate, drove in and shut it behind them.  I have seen doe in there but I was riding quads and jumped them on the road.

Since my Bro is a logging Mech i do know that it is a favorite Road hunt for loggers. All the deer in that area that i've seen have been in the deep timber, but everyone likes to sit and glass clearcuts...
