Quick Tips
- Hunt the high ground along the western border
- Can be lots of pressure along roads




Wenatchee National Forest covers around ninety-percent of this triangle-shaped unit, along with the state ground at the southeast point. Old Scab Mountain, at 6,585-ft, and Little Bald Mountain, at 6,096 ft, are two of the highest points in this old-growth conifer forest. The southwestern corner has rocky peaks under 7,000-ft with talus slopes and more open, sparsely forested slopes. The very southeastern corner where Rattlesnake Creek meets the Naches River is more open and is the start of the scablands, with a hint of farming as well. Like all GMUs that border higher elevation, the hunting significantly improves after heavy snows get the big game migrating. The best hunting typically takes place during the late seasons after significant snowfall in the high country.
True spike elk are hard to come by, especially on wet years.
