Hunters discussing Unit 364 in Rimrock, Washington, emphasize the challenging terrain, which requires physical readiness and strategic planning. The area is noted for its dense forest and steep hills, making it crucial to scout ahead and be prepared for physically demanding hunts. Success in this unit often hinges on understanding elk behavior during different seasons, particularly in relation to weather changes and migration patterns. While draw odds can be competitive, many hunters find the unit rewarding if they invest time in pre-season scouting and adapt to the rugged environment.
This Wenatchee National Forest GMU has a great mix of areas with road access in the east, and roadless backcountry hunting opportunities in the west. The Cascade Range forms the very western tip and is comprised of Old Snowy Mountain, Ives Peak, Gilbert Peak and Goat Rocks. Off the northeast side are several glaciers, including Conrad, Meade and McCall, that feed the headwaters of the North Fork Tieton River. In 2018, the large Miriam wildfire burned from the North Fork Tieton Road, to the northwest, and depending on spring moisture, could provide some excellent tender protein graze along the timbered edges and a great spot to glass, especially away from any roads. The southern border has a handful of private land checkerboarded sections and borders the Yakama Nation Reservation. The northern border includes Rimrock Lake on the Tieton River, with the southeastern border following the Divide Ridge to the northeast along the Ahtanum State Forest.
