Title: best Bethel map??
Post by: Dan-o on July 11, 2013, 07:08:54 PM: Hey, did I mention that I drew a Bethel Muzzleloader tag? :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Any recommendations for the best map of the GMU?

I have the Atlas/Gazetteer.

In other units I've used the GMU maps with the yellow front (sorry, don't know what they're called).

Anyway, it's just about scouting time, so if anyone has a good map to recommend I'd appreciate it
.
(Alternately, you could always PM me some road numbers to check out..... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Besides that we have mule deer to chase so I can't have you chasing elk when it is buck season. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I would say that the price for a snarky remark like is Thai food:
"As tall as you are I would suspect you could just stand on your tip toes."

I would say that the price for a snarky remark like is a scouting trip in the Bethel:
"Map? What's that? I just drive and walk so when I'm taken hostage I can't give any info.LOL"

And I would say that the price for a snarky remark like this is ....... well, already paid in full.
"What's a map?"
