Hi HW members Arteman here, I live in Cowlitz county SW Washington. Hunt mainly Blacktail and Elk on private timberlands in the surrounding areas, been hunting Asotin the first week of deer for mulies the last 10 or so years, hunted Okanogan twice on cougar pilot hunts, both times successful, seen a lot of deer both times during that late cougar hunt, tried hunting Okanogan the next year after the first cougar hunt and found out quick that all those deer I was seeing were not locals and that the snow pushes them down in the later, did kill a bear there opening day however, but kind of ruined a day of deer hunting. Anyways thats about the just of my north central hunting experience. A buddy and I are thinking of leaving town tonight to try new country, he's stuck on the lake chelan high buck hunt area, in my research so far I'm having a hard time finding an actual boundary, I found the maps I need however unfortunately this late in the game I wouldn't be able to pick one up tell I got over there, from stories I've read it seems hard to access with all this talk of ferries, float plains etc. I just would like to know if this hunt is hard to access, not afraid to do a little hike to get in to legal hunting if that is all it is. Any info would help, if anything I would love to see this country. Last cougar we took near Twisp the dogs on gps tracking colars where less than a mile away and we had to climb 1600 feet in elevation to get to them, the view was amazing and country like that can make a man feel small.
