Title: New SW Early muzzy units
Post by: AKBowman on June 28, 2016, 10:23:30 PM: Just wondering how crowded some of the new SW early Elk Muzzy units were last year. Now that it expanded beyond basically only Ryderwood not sure if it will be a zoo everywhere down there for early muzzy rather than just a zoo in Ryderwood like it was in years past.

I'm happy with PM's if anyone wants to give me an idea of how the crowds were last year

There were more hunters in 673 than I have seen for years, but few got out of their trucks as I ran into nobody actually in the woods.
The rain later in the week really sent them home, or headed for the bars.
