I hunt Manastash every year, and ya you will see animals near the roads occasionally. Especially on the opener. Good luck sticking one with an arrow, this isnt rifle hunting. I love when people hunt the roads too, it means theres less people in the hell holes that hold elk EVERY year, EVERY day. Good luck, and if you show signs of putting in your time, Id be willing to help steer you towards your first archery elk!
