That is interesting information Doc E. I was planning on going to Oregon this Spring, but I will keep the Colville area in mind to ck out, like in the Fall for future reference for Spring 2003.

I'm pretty much in the same situation as Charlie O, just getting started and trying to find an area with access, possible guides in the NW for the first couple of times in the field, and such. I appreciate your post. Good hunting in April.
