Greetings all,
I am looking at picking up a left over cow rifle tag for zone 36-1, OCT 1-9. Through no fault of our own, we (4 people) missed the opportunity to get OTC tags for our usual zone (23) north of McCall but we still want to get out there and chase elk and mule deer. We have experience in the back country with most of us in good to decent shape physically. We'll have a Jeep, a 4 runner and an ATV to get where we need to go if there is a road.
With that, anyone have experience in this zone? Its basically both sides of 75 south of Stanley. From the research I've done on the hunt planner, all the roads are seasonal whether its Auto, Jeep or ATV. I talked with the local office, was told most people road hunt (ie: drive, look, park and hike) vice hike in and set up a base camp (which is what we normally do) and go out from there.
I know its last second, but we were dealt the hand we got (limited time to take leave, coordinating military schedules with hunting seasons, etc) and we want to make the most of the situation. Any info would be great. Not looking for secret honey holes. More what to expect and recommendations. I'll pay it back in spades should someone want to or be going to VA to hunt whitetail deer. Ill be going out next weekend to take a look and get a lay of the land.
Thanks
