Thanks for the reply.
I think you are right about people hunting this unit with general season tags. The area around fort peck is so vast that it is difficult for the wardens to handle "things", and some hunters know this.
I have heard of four B&C bucks taken in the last 5 years, including a 200" buck taken two years ago. I know that the 200" buck is not a rumor, not sure about the others. Of course, these bucks were taken by locals.
Did you seem to see more deer in the south end, north end of the unit?
Thank you..
