HuntVantage habitat grade
Grade distribution of the habitat cells inside the unit — higher-scoring cells are the pockets worth scouting first. HuntVantage weighs cover, water, food, hunting pressure, and habitat diversity from public land-cover and land-ownership data.
Per-species ratings
Overall grade measures general habitat; these species ratings re-weight the same factors for each animal’s needs — the number that matters for a species-specific hunt.
Public land & access
62% of GMU 335 is public land; 62% is public and open-access.
Largely public: the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and the state-managed Teanaway Community Forest, with private timber and ranch land along the lower valley — verify ownership near the edges.
Ownership from PAD-US; a cell is one ~0.46 km habitat hexagon. Verify boundaries and access on the ground — inholdings and seasonal closures aren’t shown here.
Hunting prospects
General + draw permits
GMU 335 covers the timbered Teanaway drainage in the central Cascades north of Cle Elum — connected national-forest and community-forest land that gives elk security cover, meadow feed, and river water in one block. It hunts as classic Cascade elk country: work the transition between dark timber and meadow or old-cut edges and the benches above the river forks, and expect elk to shift into roadless pockets as pressure builds. Mule deer use the higher, more open ridges toward the divide. Confirm current elk (general spike vs. permit antlerless) and deer seasons with WDFW.
