Early Archery Nile Unit

[Mtnwalker]

Attention muzzy elk hunters,don't expect too much in Nile unit...7 days,haven't seen an elk...1791 hunted pretty hard talked to 7 bowhunters,no elk...they're tough to locate this year...not even any coyotes howling...hope you have better luck than I...😁

I’m a little wet behind the ears….. or are the 1700 roads in the little natcheze?  I thought the Nile was all 1600 roads.  It’s been a few years since I’ve been up there so maybe things have changed??? 

I also thought the 1700 roads (i.e. little Natchez unit was draw only for archery.

The 1791 is most definitely not in the Little Naches. The 1706 runs right up the gut of 352 Nile

I found the 17009 / 1706 and so on coming off the upper end of the nile.....closer to the bumping road.  We always accessed off the 1600 and worked out way up that way.  All the years we hunted that area and pretty much only  been in the 1600 road system. 

I guess I will have to make a trip back to that area to get reacquainted.....Man did we have some good times up there.

Does the guy at the bottom of the hill on the 1600 (before the cattle guard) still own a mile past the cattle guard (before the feed station)?  I was always envious of his spread.  Never met him, but heard he wasn't the nicest guy to deal with.

yes, Matson still owns the first almost 2 miles of the Nile road

Hi,

I met Mr. Matson many years ago. Stopped by and brought him some lunch. If I am not mistaken, his estate still owns the property but he has passed away.
