Find a logger and ask him. I bet you'd get a real answer instead of some statistics based on an Olympia biologist that doesn't know what the real story is... Try Dana Base WDFW out of Colville.

I'd go the first week no matter what. I'd want to hunt without all the deer hunters in the woods.

 A once in a lifetime draw and you are limiting your time to one week? :o

Easy now...he's one of my stronger techs.  :chuckle:

I think he's planning to go for a solid week and then some more weekend trips if needed. Not sure...but thats what I think his plan is.

Lots of good advice here, but the BEST advice (IMHO) is to go when your buddies can go too.  Take it from someone who tried to do it alone... TAKE FRIENDS.  LOTS of friends.  Or a helicopter. 
Nothing witty here.... move along.
