Title: GMU 513 South Rainier
Post by: Hunter326 on August 27, 2018, 03:00:03 PM: My hunting partner bailed on me this year, so I'm going solo, and thinking of trying a different area. GMU 513 Archery Elk. Hunted there a few years ago for muzzy, saw some elk then, nothing I could shoot though. Anyone have any thoughts about the unit for archery?

:yeah: it’s going to be crowded this year, can’t wait to be sitting in a good area and have 3 guys walk past the meadow just before light. Oh joy. :bash:

Good Luck with your decisions.

thats the other thing, a few years back the outfitters started hitting it hard and now they drop a bunch of camps all through that country. so many more people up there now than 10 years ago. pushed us into other areas with less folks and less pressured animals
