I'll send you a pm on a couple places to check out.

Post by: Cultusman on November 07, 2017, 08:21:07 AM: Thats not a good boundary description where you cross Hwy 20 and the Skagit river, so I am assuming the boundry is just east of Bacon cr at the big sign that says Ross Lake National Recreation Area

Post by: Boss .300 winmag on November 07, 2017, 10:18:22 AM: Keep in mind when hunting in the ROSS LAKE NRA, it’s governed by the North Cascades National Park. And you have to be 1/4 mike away from roads, trails, buildings basically anything man made. :bash:

You won’t find those refs in the state hunting refs, it’s in the parks compendium written by the head park ranger.
