Title: GMU 501 - Lincoln
Post by: DBake on October 13, 2008, 11:04:32 PM: My dad and I might be hunting this unit in November. Between now and then I am going to try and drive some areas.

I am wondering if anyone has some areas that I should avoid looking.

A lot of sign though.....

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on October 14, 2008, 09:53:33 AM: I looked on map and the area I talked about is state land (DNR) access by Deep Creek,Teague Road, Cooks Hill Road, and Graff Road. These gates were locked in spring with signs probiting entry by motor vehicle. Unlocked when I went to look around this fall. I also went out Bunker Creek and turned west and found some area that looked good at the end of pavement with a gate showing seasonal road closure, did not check that yet.
