Its pretty dang thick out there, but if the tides are right, you can slowly paddle up the slews where they like to come out and feed. Don't forget the bear tag either, saw 5 in one day out there once. Like I said, its been quite a few years since I've been there so it could be different now. But you will get wet!

Go prepared for anything. Also, the 2007 storm kinda screwed up many of the timber areas I use to hunt. Still plenty of elk, just a little harder getting around.

Thanks for the replies.
