Those of you wanting to go or wondering about it, or anything of that sort. I am an avid shed hunter and I have made the trip twice 2 years in a row(bad deal).
1st thing:
We got there at 7 in the morning(1 hour before gate opened) and we were about 50th in line behind 4 wheelers and then cars and then trucks and then horses and then 4 wheelers and then jeeps and so on!
It took over 40 minutes after the gate opened before we even were able to drive thrue the gate. By the time we got up the hill there was already folks walking back to rigs with antlers on there backs, heading back to get another load(there stashes). Its a very big dissapointment unless u like the hike and c some dif country.
2nd:
The ticks down there this time of year are very bad, like brushing them off every 1/2 hous or so
3rd:
Most of the quality antlers are tagged and I personally have seen a big set that a guy who has sneaked in there and picks em up to help pay his bills thrue the spring months. Some of you guys may disagree with me but I think if you just get away from the feeding stations and off of the beaten path you will succeed in finding a few.It is def. an experiance going down there if you like alot of people.So many people that all the channels are clogged from all the talking going on kinda crazy on the motarola's.
