Title: Small Game, Charles Pack Forest, Eatonville
Post by: Sprintin on December 07, 2015, 08:10:29 AM: Good morning!

Any idea on how good Charles Pack would be for small game this time of year? I'm looking to take a buddy hiking and hopefully stumble upon a snack to pack out; be it squirrels, wrascly wrabbits, or the not-so-likely grouse. All we have is a small game license.

From what I've read, walking the trails/roads is the best approach. But I've also read about peeps having their trucks prowled while they're in.

Any suggestions? Maybe a different area that is not so far from Eatonville...?

Thanks, everyone. :hello:
