Title: (Naneum and Quilomene) cow tag?
Post by: 206 on August 29, 2012, 05:05:50 PM: Which one would you focus on?

I hunted the Naneum years ago and remember some, but a friend of a friend suggests the Quilomene.

Drove up a Quilome canyon, right before the fire, and after driving up "O-sh!t" side road made it up to the top and had good views of the wind mills. It seems to me this canyon road is hunted by parking at the bottom and hiking up hill to the top to hunt hoping they come running your way. Reminded me of the area I hunt mulies in the Coulee but not country for elk.

A down hill drag would be a positive here, but I still cherish the mountain environment and cooler weather WITH TREES.

dono.

Just spotted a jack roll and was gasping for 02.

Air is a good thing.
