Camping near YTC?
« on: November 22, 2016, 11:38:45 AM »
Going to try to find a cow soon. Anybody have suggestions on someplace to crash at night in the canopy? Closer to the main gate the better. Please send me a PM. Thanks

Those roads didn't seem all that bad to me in the time I spent there... no worse than a lot of forest service or weyco roads...  :twocents:

My advice is don't fall into the "I can see for miles, so I'll just drive and glass all day" trap.  This is how the fast majority of folks hunt the base and that is why the fast majority of tags don't get filled.  Get out and hike.  Thats just my two cents so take it for what its worth.

Sign on the dotted line and they'll let you camp out there for free and they'll even provide meals.

Yes everyone has to check in. Insurance, registration, passport, firearms on the list, hunting licenses and permits, rec card. Every time.

You can have an Enhanced Drivers License in lieu of a passport.
