Back in the early '80s I used to hunt up there, Salmon La Sac. We would spend the summer hiking in and scouting, then pack into a lake and camp for a week of season.But we actually were getting deer on the hike in and out.We started camping at Fish lake (Tucquala ?) and day hiking to top of ridge, then following ridgeline, eventually finding a way down the side.several trails in area.
