Title: Access to GMU 663 Capitol Peak.....Any Help Appreciated!
Post by: Jeremy S on October 17, 2008, 06:57:55 PM: I went over to Eastern Washington for opening day as usual and had no luck as usual. I live in South King County so I've been trying to find some nearby areas that I can hunt in the mornings or just for a day trip. I've heard that Capitol Forest has it's fair share of deer and thought I might like to check it out. I'd like to access GMU 663 from State Route 8. If anyone could give me some directions to some decent logging roads and clearcuts it would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking for your honey hole, I just don't want to be looking around in the dark. Thanks.
