Having never been there, I see the green evergreens and I see brown. What are the brown areas? Too rocky to grow or logged? Looks real pretty. Thanks for sharing.

The area is extremely different from anything Joe & I have ever seen. Nothing like the central Rockies, which we have both hunted. The brown areas have been logged & the green is mostly Doug fir. The area is also unbelievably steep!!! I know it's hard to tell from the pics, but many parts are unclimbable. Picture leaning a ladder against your house & you have it. Also this area is a temperate rain forest, so once in the timber it is really thick. A 50 yds shot would be a long one. Again the most difficult conditions you could imagine. But, was quite an experience & am just glad to have done it.

Sounds like the trip of a lifetime. I'm slightly envious.
