late season archery hunt grayback unit

[Bowbe8]

I hunt the grayback unit in the late season at the end of november and I had some good bucks on trail camera but once season started we didnt see anything except for on the drives in. I hunt around grayback mountain and was wondering if there was anyone else that hunts this unit in the late season. I know alot of guys came up empty handed cuz we didnt get the cold weather we were looking for. I hunt out of a treestand usually but thinking about trying to do some spot and stalk this year. what kind of hunting stratagies do you guys use on these benchbucks?

All of the private timberland in that area is closed through the rest of fire season.  That could be right up until your season opens.  Which would be a good thing for you.  But the shootable bucks are smart and tend to hole up on the rez until enough nasty weather sets in.  So my tip is pray that it stays dry and closed until your season, then pray for lots of deep snow.  There are some that hide out on our side.  There is a good article in one of the recent outdoor magazines about a guy who gets a lot of deer on public land.  He had some real good advice- hint, hint...
