Title: What place on the west side is better?
Post by: model70man on September 21, 2007, 07:12:56 PM: I am going to go modern-rifle hunting on the west side of Washington this year, and I am curious whether the Mount Adams/Mount St. Helen's area or the Lewis River area is better. What do you think?

I don't get it, the Lewis River is kind of in between Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams.

If you have an idea of where you want to hunt i can PM and let you know if its any good. Be prepared for lots of hunters. If it snows early it will be a good year.
