You're gonna need snow.
I hunted that unit religiously with a smoke pole since I started hunting. Without snow, its awfully tough, like it was last year. In the entire first week of hunting on dried cornflakes I saw one small buck, and that was it.
It has been a tough last few seasons for me, as the last buck I killed in that unit was in 2005. But I've always had cracks at them.
Good luck.
