Title: I'm seeking advice/tips for the SINLAHIKEN GMU 215 unit
Post by: SoggySocks on December 06, 2017, 06:04:30 PM: Hello,
I am seeking advice, tips, pointers, "tales of experience" regarding filling a tag in the SINLAHEKIN GMU 215 unit.

I have never hunted this unit and I am interested in any advice I can get. I have driven through the area several times in the past and I have been studying maps, google earth, and searching for general hunting info on the unit. This will be my meat hunt of the year and I would be happy to take any legal deer I can get.

Thanks in advance to any and all replies.

Post by: SoggySocks on December 06, 2017, 06:59:39 PM: Yes I had searched the forum before posting.
I have gained a few good pointers and I think I will be just fine. I am not a road hunter and I am pretty confident that I can fill a freezer.
Thanks for the info BOSS.300 WINMAG

I saw 500 in a 4 day archery trip
490 were on private land
Late archery
I wish I had chains or an ATV saw quite a few nice mule deer hanging
Very icy
