Title: Hunt 1502 info
Post by: Threewolves on August 03, 2012, 09:46:55 PM: I need to know at what mile marker the "elk drift fence" intersects with Tucannon rd as discribed in the area descriptions for gmu 178 Peola.

My grandsons 11 & 13 yr olds passed their hunter safety classes and also drew the 1502 hunt. I am guessing the "elk drift fence" is a tall stock fence I just need to be sure of its location. At mile marker.x...would have been a better discription than some where along Tucannon road. Thanks for any information. Paul

I will say though most landowners are pretty cool when it comes to the kids we have hunted down there for a few years, and my kids always fill their tags.
