Title: Tenas Creek/ Boulder Lake near Darrington/Suiattle Drainage
Post by: Seanyp48 on March 01, 2011, 08:33:53 AM: Has anyone hunted off of Forest Rd 2660? I am looking for an area to start Bear hunting in, and I have heard there are good bear opportunities in the Suiattle Drainage. Also does boulder lake hold fish and are there deer in this area as well? I am looking for general advice, this will be my first bear hunt and this road looks like it could give easy access to the creek and Boulder lake.

Thanks

SM
