My partner and I drew the most coveted unit (GMU 169 Blue Mountains) in the state for spring bear this year (An almost completely roadless unit). Have spent a ton of time e scouting but have never been in the unit. Is there anyone who can give a general time frame for the opportunity to get in there??? Possible someone who lives in Dayton WA???
We have had some big snow fall in the mountains this year and I am keeping an eye on the Bluewood Ski Area Summit cams (similar elevations). Plenty of snow still at 5K ft elevations, ranger is just giving general ideas about when Godman Guard Station area may become accessible by vehicle (ATV or otherwise). Currently it's open to snowmobiles. Wondering if anyone has friends or family in the Dayton area who is in a 4x4 club who may have better road access information???? I am guessing many of those south facing slopes in the unit will become snow free far before the ridge roads are accessible.
Thanks to any Washington hunt talkers who may have info, ideas or insight.
