Title: late bow season
Post by: Altemus15 on November 25, 2013, 06:45:40 PM: Im going to be doing late archery. This will be my first time to hunt in this state. I set up in capital forest im not real confedent in my spot. I have not kicked up any deer while scouting but i have seen tracks trails and rubs. But i was just wondering if any one new where more public land is close to lacey out by yelm that i couod scout and have a good chance at a deer?

The area mentioned previously has many new gates up so be prepared to do some hiking or biking.

Need to be careful where you hunt. GMU 501 Lincoln Crk is closed to late Archery.
