Icicle Outfitters aren't really in the best elk country, except for possibly the Mission unit. They're pretty well known on here for their deer hunts, but I can't say I've heard much, if anything, about elk hunts with them. The good thing about the GMU's north of highway 2, is that they are open for "any elk," while most of eastern Washington is "spike only." So I imagine if you could get packed into a good area that is known to hold elk, you could have a good hunt. But my guess is that it could be a really tough hunt in county that holds very few elk. The Mission unit has good numbers of elk but you'd be limited to shooting only a spike, which would also be the case most anywhere else. If you want to hunt for bulls, you might look into hunting on the west side of the state. The sportsman's show is this week in Puyallup. That would be a great opportunity to talk to some outfitters. Try to get there before the weekend if you can. Saturday and Sunday there's so many people there it's really difficult to get around in there.
