Title: skookumchuck wildlife area?
Post by: huntnfmly on October 31, 2015, 01:24:16 AM: Howdy
I am thinking about taking my daughter and her boyfriend down to Skookumchuck wildlife area for late archery elk and late muzzleloader deer just curious how hard that area gets hit at those times? Heading down next week to do some scouting.any insight would be great. You can send pm if you like.
Thanks jim
