Unless you have a big bull tag or have access to private land, this unit is pretty rough to hunt for spikes. Don't get me wrong we have taken spikes in this unit and will probably do it again, but that's with a rifle and getting within muzzy range of a spike in this country will be really tough. But as stated before. The early responses to this thread do share some good areas to check out. I don't mean to discourage you from hunting there I'm just trying to give you an honest assessment.
