RE: ANYBODY FROM WASHINGTON STILL AROUND???
Jbthehut, I'm not sure what units you are looking at for late archery, but I don't know of any unit in the packwood/white pass area that is open for late elk on the west side. As far as Johnson Creek area, I usually go in from the Thompson Creek Rd side which is across the river and on the other side of the reservoir. I've seen elk sign in there, but have never got into them. You can also come into the Skookumchuck unit from Hwy 7 south of Alder Lake.
Hunt hard, live right, and tell your kids you love 'em!
