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.
