Unit 70 archery assistance

[bigbuckbg]

Hello y'all, I drew a unit 70 archery tag and was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I know its a great tag and opportunity, I am from California and will not be able to make it out for any scouting. I have been on google earth quiet a bit and looking into several "bucky" areas but if anyone knows the area and would be willing to point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

Thanks!

Good luck. I have hunted it 2 times in the last 3 years. lots of bucks down low where u cant hunt. My buddy did shoot a big buck up in the high country but it was the only one we saw. Hard to find any numbers anywhere i have been up there. Trust me, get a elk tag. there is alot of big country that i never went into and maybe thats where the hide i dont know.

I don't know about archery season, but I have hunted unit 70 rifle several times. I have always seen "Ton's" of deer while hunting. If you want to hunt high, you can try the "Lone Cone
Peak" wildlife area. Be in great shape for this area, it is all up hill. If you do hunt this area, get an elk tag, it is loaded with 'em. Mid level areas would be walk-in wildlife areas along Disappointment Road which is of Hwy 141. These walk-in access points are well posted. This area is also the dividing line for unit 71. One side is unit 70, the other 71. Low areas would be Dry Creek Basin. This is a mix of private and state wildlife areas. With some good maps, this is fairly easy to navigate. This is an area that holds a ton of deer during the rifle season. It is mostly high sage with juniper pockets. The area we have had the most success is the mid-level points and Dry Creek Basin. Good Luck!
