I drove by there the last two weekends and the area looks pretty wild and hilly. I didn't see what looked like a lot of private property, except for the areas directly next to the lake on the south shore of lake Quinault. There is a hillside that shoots up about 1000' from the lakeshore directly up to the top of the ridge road and it is pretty steep and fully timbered.

Your best bet is to talk to Jack Smith or Max Zahn, biologists for region six out of the WDFW Montesano office. 360-249-4628 will get you to their offices. Both of these guys were helpful in hooking me up with some landowners in the Southbank (now Chehalis valley unit) 066.

One other tag to think about next year is the 066 unit where there are now 50 tags, up from 10. Any tag can hunt it, and if you want, you may use a muzzleloader. It is all riverbottom farmland with plenty of good amush points. This same unit is also open only to AHE hunters during the regular season, so if you need assistance finding access there, let me know as I have access to over 1200 acres where over 250 elk spend the fall and winter. I have taken two elk in in three years from this unit and it is only about 8 miles from my house. Let me know.

Best of luck,

Andy
