You guys camped on the 1000 line side?
Some animals WERE harmed in the making of this Hunter. They were also dragged through the dirt, butchered and tasted delicious fried with butter and bacon.

About 900ft of elevation.  Not the 1000 line.  We were camped on DNR Property and drove into wherehauser each day.

Great job guys! 

I went down there on Mon/Tues this week and hiked my butt off down near Winston Creek behind some gates and saw one cow.
