Was wondering if i could get some advice for hunting this area..? if u have any tip, pics, or anything reply plz thx.. so stoked

I would say, check out the Little Rattle Snake area.
Fresher clearings from about 3 years ago and did some control burning up there the last few years.

Know guys that see bulls up there during MF.

ahhh ok thx.. is it all mainly timber? and I heard u had to take a quad most of the time?

[billdo5]

yeah ill be heading over there soon... just want to get idea on where to scout mainly thx

[billdo5]

Do u guys have any pics or know someone that has got drawn for this before and got a bull?

[Dode]

Here's one I got in 2003.  I would listen to where those guys told you also!

[billdo5]

thats a nice bull what did that score? im going to guess 320-330

[adamR]

as far as quads go you should talk with the forest service or fish and game becuz only a small area of bethel allows quads... and most of the little rattlesnake is closed due to flooding

[billdo5]

oh ok.. would it be open by september? or is it really screwed up?

[Karl Blanchard]

the road is completely washed out and I have heard that they aren't going to fix it.  Budget thing.

Here is the closest thing is have to a Bethel Bull!  Found these during general deer season several years ago.

Deer hunting is poor. Louse has killed a huge number of deer. Look at hunter success rates for all weapons for bethel ridge and surrounding units, it isn't very good. Good luck on your bull tag.

thx for the advice... im hoping for the best!
