Heck just pick the one that has the guy at the gate to make sure you paid your 300 dollars to get in,then he points you in the derection of parking,foolows you to the spot,punches your parking ticket,and hands you a flyer for next year and tells you how much time you have points you in the derection they have decided to let you hunt before you got there and says ( BE SAFE !! ) Well when a guy tells me to be safe on a paid for permit land deal for bow season, I emediately wondered were they parked everybody else I geuss the 300 dollars was for parking , the flyer and the guy sitting there,Im thinking this is were my anxiety stuff started, I swear it is never again!!So my answer, don't follow the money, the guys that run the show only care about money and there own freezers , just my take from the experience, goooo, 364 ,that's allways my choice regardless of the negatives ,( don't get me stared ? )
Like I said, you can hunt anywhere you want, you don't have to hunt the disabled access areas, if you don't like them.Doesn't sound like you're all that disabled anyway.
My opinion, if you want the perfect scenario like you seem to be looking for, private property is the only real option.
Looking at the 2014 harvest reports 23 or 26 bulls with 6+ points were killed in Lewis River GMU 560.
Quote from: GurrCentral on April 08, 2015, 07:16:59 PMI have nothing against a companion hunter that shoots an animal for an individual....but if you just want someone to go out and shoot a non-"crappy" bull so you can have one that is bigger than the one on your wall...is it worth it? To me no. I would rather shoot a cow or spike myself..as opposed to someone else shooting a big bull for me...and me putting it on my wall. Kinda weird you can't hike up or down hill but can handle a elk alone.... I know you haven't hunted elk for awhile do you remember how much work they are once o the ground.... or do you expect to drive right up to him ? I'M not sure Kansas has a elk hunt I didn't ask about a " companion " shooting my bull. I don't need no stinking help shooting a " crappy " bull, or any other animal for me. I'm perfectly capable of doing it myself. And, a crappy bull is a crappy bull. People complain all the time that, It's not quite what I'm looking for. So I think you can drop the sarcasm...
