GMU 673
« on: September 02, 2014, 09:45:02 AM »
I am planning on a week long trip for modern rifle with my father in law to the 673 areas public lands.  While he is an experience hunter I am new to this whole thing and he hasn't hunted that unit before.  I was wondering if anyone has experience in the area and would be willing to share some knowledge (I won't ask for your honey hole or anything) about what it is like down there.  Perhaps how the roads are, how many other hunters we're likely to run into, how many animals they have seen in the unit on the publice lands, just some general stuff.  Happy to do it over PM too if desired.

Thanks in advance!

this unit is williams creek correct??? i hunted there for years. Now there really isnt much public land there without buying the access permit. Where we hunted i think there was 3 diffrent land owners and that changed in the 15 years i hunted it. Have not been there for like 5 years. So i wouldnt know what permit to buy. if you buy the permit and its in my areas i will be willing to help direct you to some spots.

that is the unit, yeah.  there is a somewhat sizeable chunk (not huge but plenty big for my first trip I think) of DNR land that we plan to spend our time in.  Can't afford the lumber company permit this time around so I guess we'll see how we like it and what we see and go from there.  Would like to find some country that isn't inundated with hunters if possible.

Rayonier timber is selling permits for the 2000 line 65 dollars,  lots of land to hunt in.

You must be talking about the dnr land on the corner of 101 and 4.  If this is the chunk of land pm me I can give you some help.

Less...Yes.  But I heard they are only charging $60 so it will still be a zoo!
