cowboy4life02 · Aug 27, 2009

Im heading to the salmon area next weekend and wondering if there are some good muleys around area 30 to try my hand at archery? Im not asking for secrets just hoping someone that knows the area will let me know what i am getting into. any help would be appreciated.

hunt that area every year.unit 28 and 30 have both been very good to me in general season.need to get off of the roads.we see a ton of people "road hunting" when we get dropped off then crest a ridge and see 4-6 nice bucks! will post pics when i figure out how

good luck!we will be there from the 7th of oct. to ????

You have to put your homework in to use a treestand, spot and stalk is doable, find an old logging road and get away from the road hunters as said...how hard you willing to work is gonna increase your chances of success

has anyone seen my kittie

to be honest i dont have any experience with treestands and like huntnfever says it sounds like homework needs to be done and its kinda hard when im so far away. im goin to stick to what i know. i sure appreciate the help u both have given me. i will look into everything u both have told me and go from there and hopefully i can have some good stories to tell. good luck and thanks again.
