Cow elk permit. (Umtanum unit)

I was picked for a modern umtanum cow elk tag. I have only hunted this unit in the north west corner right on the boundry. Would like to get a bit farther away from the boundry so I don't loose a wounded animal across the road. Any ideas on where to go or not to go? Any info you could give would be great!! Thanks!

Fisher Dan hunts that area a lot, and one of his boys drew the same tag. Maybe he will reply.

go in at mud lake off 410 lots of elk cross the highway from bethel right there all the way up to the radio tower .

just get off the roads,so many times people have stopped and asked my partner and I where we got are elk,as we are packing them out.they are there for the taking u just have to get away from the traffic.Generaly speaking by the time the cow permits open up the elk have become a little more weary.day break and dusk are always best.even if u dont know the area find a dead end and get back into the woods a mile or so.stay off the jeep trails in that unit to many atv and trucks find a small clearing and be patient.Good luck

Double check your regs... the boundaries are different this year in many of the areas around central WA.
