I was drawn this year for archery hunt. Arrowed a young spike. took him in Unit 3 (rez). I only had a day and a half to hunt. So I took the first buck I saw. Took the shot at 30 yards, at about 6 that evening, it wasnt a good shot but enough to leave a good blood trail. Tracked him until dark, i heard coyotes in the same direction the trail was headed. So i stopped tracking and picked up the trail in the morning. The forestry service are doing some burning up there and I think thats what saved my buck from the coyotes. There was alot of smoke up there. Well he dropped not more than 75 yards from where i had left the trail the following evening. Good eatin'!
My brother was also drawn for archery, but he didnt fill his tag. Saw a lot though, mainly 4x4s, in the afternoon. And ALOT of TURKEYS! big turkeys at that!
We applied for the rifle hunt but were not drawn. But we got drawn for Rifle elk (rez)in January. STOOKED!
Anyone else?
Good luck to all!
Mike
