Thats exactly where I was thinking of starting. Thanks for some pointers hopefully I will tag out in the early season and wont have to hunt there but the help is apreciated.

Seriously though nice elk.

That is exactly what I did for the Lewis River and he gave me exact locations to hunt where they have had the highest success rate for that unit. Worth a shot.
