GMU 520
« on: March 07, 2011, 05:31:15 PM »
Just wondering how the hunting is south of Riffe Lake in the Coyote Mountain area?  I imagine there's animals but I'm curious if the traffic from other hunters would make it worth it.  In other words, if I go back far enough, is there a chance of getting away from all the folks?  I appreciate any feedback.

Good luck if you want to try it. There are more hunters than deer in the unit. I would say if you saw 10 deer in a week you would be doing good. Winston may be the worst unit in the state for deer.

I've seen two bruisers during late archery elk, and both times were years I had a rifle deer tag in my pocket. . .  :bash: Both were while still hunting timber.  Never really glassed the cuts hard enough to spot deer, elk I usually spot with the naked eye in cuts, unless it's fairly deep reprod.  All that said I'd say it's about like hunting anywhere else these days.
