These drainages are not the busy at all. There is alot of area that isn,t behind gates but some of the best areas are. Get a bike and start exploring. If you want a good starting point start a Mt. Jupiter. It is located inbetween the Duckabush and Dosiwallips. I havent been up there in a few years but there used to be a whole lot of elk. There are alot more areas but there is noway I could explain how to get to them. My best advice is to get off of 101 and start looking for elk sign.
