BrianID, I had heard there was some big bucks taken last year out of this area. I thought being the season was from Oct 10 to 16, if I didn't do any good, I good go some where else, & hunt to the 25th. The one draw back I don't like being around a lot of hunters. I hunted Stanley last year, hunt the whole season after two bucks, always a step ahead of me, never got that break i was looking for, but it was worth it. If you had the General season tag where would you hunt, not looking for any specifics, just an area. I have hunted, Pine, Stanley, Altanta, & white tail in elk city. Killed nice white tail in elk city, killed a decent buck in Pine. I perfer hunting sage country,desert. Thanks for your time Brain. Mike
