Post by: Buckoholic on September 17, 2008, 08:02:12 PM: Headin down to Mossyrock in November and just seeing if anybody could lead me in the right direction. I'm muzzleloader hunting and my buddy is bow hunting but haven't hunted that unit. Feel free to send me a message or email me if you want to keep your spot on the down low :) ;).

+1

I live near mossyrock. The small part of the unit that is not private gets hunted harder than any place I know of. I honestly would not waste my time.
