Anybody know if the gravel road FS4510 that comes off woods and steele gets gated during archery? Looks like there is a gate just below Hicks Butte. Want to scout it! Also was wondering what the pressure was like there? Many in the woods or do you see most just off the roads?
Quite a few people hunt that area. It also has trails for motorcycles back there and those guys end up all over the place. I've walked 5+ miles back in there and still saw people on 4 wheelers (not supposed to be on roads but I guess that little detail doesn't bother them) showing up. Once into the timber it was alright, for the most part. You just get to compete with guys that rode in there and have fresh legs when you do everything legally and walk in there (or ride a motorcycle on the trails - I have no problem with anyone that does that.)
Easy walking until you get back in there a ways and off the roads.
