Hope you didn't mean Elk Heights between Cle Elum & Ellensburg ... believe that only Units 105 thru 124 (NE corner of the state) is open for late fall turkey.

Several years ago, I was going on an early fall hunt and called a good friend who happened to be the local game warden to let him know I was in his area. Was a little embarassed to find that they had changed the date from what was in the spring turkey phamplet to what was now in the fall big game phamplet. I thought I was there several days after opening day, but found out I was there 2-1/2 days too early.
:bash:
Glad I called before versus after ... would not want to put a friend or stranger in the position (or myself).
