Hello,
My son drew the youth hunt this year. We got a 5 day head start to the general modern firearm season, but with school and football, we were only able to get out two of those days. He did get a shot at a little spike, but missed. Now that the general modern season is underway, we have been out a couple of times and only see other hunters and zero deer. We are hunting DNR land around Lake Cushman. I had him apply for this area because there used to be large sections of DNR land that was locked up that we could hike and bike into. I used to see deer in the area when it was locked up. Now that it is wide open to drive in, I have seen very few deer or even deer tracks. That was a long rant, but I wanted to see if anyone had any tips for the area. He wants to get a buck, but has the doe option with the youth tag.
Thanks all.
