Hog, I've hunted deer over there for the last 5 seasons. We have done pretty good too. I have seen plenty of elk and bear sign, but no animals. I have talked to plenty of local old timers who say there are plenty of elk around but you're gonna have to put in your time to even see one.

There are jerks everywhere, but most of the guy's and gals I have dealt with are pretty cool people. It does get crowded during deer season, but alot of it is Boise Cascade land with gated off roads. If you are willing to put a few miles in the hunting can be great.

Also, don't count on a campfire as there is allways a burn ban going on over there.

I hope this helps.
