I second Sky's statement of going up the Suiattle, and you can even cross over Cloudy Pass if you wish, though you will start to run into other hunters coming in from the Entiat. My own piece of advice is to think of this as a way to enjoy Sept in the backcountry and not fall for the trap of having to shoot a "monster muley"...if you run into a legal blacktail (they have to be a 3 pt for the High Hunt) I'd take it, or a bear, which you should see plenty of. Too many guys fall into that trap of feeling like a failure if they don't shoot a 25" 4x4 muley, especially the High Hunt crowd as they are again often putting themselves on some sort of "I hunt the backcountry, I am a God of hunting..." Look at all of the new websites, podcasts, clothing companies, gear companies, etc and you will see that mentality a lot...it's sad. Just go into the backcountry, enjoy the hunt and you will have a way better time. Don't fall for the gimmicks and traps of ego...lastly, the deeper you go the more guys you'll run into! I have switched from going deep to hunting the fringe and you'd be surprised how many guys blow right by and I see a lot of animals that they don't think are there because they aren't "far enough back".
Good luck!

If you are within a 5 miles of a road be nice to all the other hunters you see because there will be plenty of them. If you can get away from trails and water you might be able to be alone but...... You'll be carrying water
It's a cool hunt, you get the nice weather and some snow. Lots of room to roam if you don't mind it steep and thick.

Hey guys, new to this website, and absolutely love it. Started hunting a couple years ago and I love all the information that is available on this website. I figured I'd pop a question on something I haven't seen a whole ton about, which is the high buck hunt. I'm starting to do some research on where I want to go, and I've got my eye on the Henry Jackson/Glacier Peak. I'm very comfortable in the backcountry, do a ton of hiking, backcountry skiing in the winter. You guys got any recommendations? What're the best tactics to hunt high country muleys? Anything I should avoid doing/areas I should avoid going?
I'm a new hunter, and any info helps. Thanks folks
You could check out the Mt Baker Wilderness. There is a guy named Shane on here that gets a blacktail about every year up there. One point though, he really busts his hump to get those deer. Look up "Shanevg" on youtube.

Wolf in the mountains I think a better name is due as they are not to thought of kindly around here.Haha, my last name is German and translates to "Wolf in the mountains". I don't think of wolves very kindly either but as far as last names go, I'll take it over Johnson or Smith any day.

Awesome! Thanks. Looks just like the country that I've spent time in, except I never seem to see any deer :chuckle:Hey guys, new to this website, and absolutely love it.
