Are you looking to hunt this area? Well I wouldn't waste my time, it is a joke. Just about all of it is private and most of it is posted. Their are a couple of guys from this area who contacted the landowners and locked it all up "actually bought chains, and locks and locked up all the gates, even some gates that were on through roads that have been there for years". If you have enough money they proabably would give you permission to hunt "around 2500$. They are feeding the elk and have successfully drawn all the elk into their area. If you go out Pigeon Hollow road by spring city you can glass this the area were they are feeding them. I personally have seen as many as 100 cows and over thirty bulls in this area. This hunt was set up to keep the elk off the highway and to provide opportunity for people to hunt big bulls. It has been the policy of the DWR to not feed!!! the elk but it looks like their hands are tied on this. It saddens me that that this hunt has turned out like this. I know of a couple of young hunters that say they are not going to hunt any more because of the way this hunt turned out. Our youth is our future we should provide them with opportunity, not lock them out. Are we destroying our hunting heritage by alowing this to happen? It is my belief that hunting should be for everyone to enjoy not just for the rich.
