I was just looking towards the future and I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge (first hand or otherwise) of the Airforce Academy hunt on Area 512. The area and season dates look attractive and so do the success rates and the amount of points to draw. I'm looking for the catch. Any info would be appreciated.
 
The catch is its an Air Force Base. If they decide to close the base your S.O.L. The Academy also makes it a pain in the butt to get on the base (unless you have a Military I.D.). The USAF also doesn't like guns. Trust me I work for them down the road at Peterson AFB.
There are a lot of nice bucks on the place.

Fort Carson would be a better choice IMO. Plus they have a 3 mo. season and you can have an OTC Bull Tag in your pocket during the reg. season.
 
saw 4 HUGE bucks at the meat processor this year that came from the Ft. Carson unit...honestly, all 4 were 30" plus...from the conversation, I think the guys were all civilian contractors but I'm still thinking of applying for that unit.
 
LAST EDITED ON Mar-13-05 AT 09:27AM (MST)[p]I'd hate to drop 6 points on a hunt and have the Air Force shut the gate's, but has that really happened? It seems that DWR would take alot of heat from the unlucky hunters.
However, being a gambling man....I might roll the dice if I knew that the payoff (a chance at a toad buck) could be worth the risk.

The Fort Carson thing sounds good too with the long season.

Thanks for the info.
