Title: Missed out on Snoqualmie Tree Farm permits. Looking for a new area to hunt
Post by: Mister Fudd on March 18, 2022, 11:30:45 PM: Permits sold out in 4 hours. Really sucks. Spent the last 3 seasons learning a particular escapement area in 460 and finally got onto a buck last year. Now I've got to start from scratch in a new area.

Any suggestions? I remember hearing there are some rec permit areas in gmu 653?

I'm located in Redmond so I could also go North. Maybe 448?

I understand that there is a new manager, not sure who. It's pretty slim pickings in there for deer, way worse than Campbell land. I have had both passes for the last couple years. Unless you are going to target bear it's not worth the price or your time. If you're going for bear then it's comparable to Campbell, lots of bear.
