Get a good caller and be patient. A couple buddies to pack out wouldn't hurt either.

Your gonna be pissed cause it was 2 hahaha. I wasn稚 expecting anything for at least 5 more years. Just need to figure how Far East to go and how north. Just need some pointers so I can start scouting

They will give you a code for the gate and you will be able to go up and start scouting when you get your code to get in give me a pm and I値l tell ya what I know
-
Anyone know if they still hand out a key for the sp mainline if you draw this tag like they used too?
BB, do you have the weyco permit?

I live fairly close also and have been trying to get this permit. I actually cant give any tips. But if you need a hand or even someone to scout with let me know. I work graveyard shift and can come any time during the week also. Been wanting to get in there to check it out. I figured its pretty hard to scout without the keys to the gate
-
Congrats. I値l be in there right after you going after em with a muzzleloader.

:yeah:
If no changes, You will get a notice of a meeting they will go over the SPI rules and expectations and you should get a gate key. Don't remember exactly how many days but its somewhere around 10ish prior to the start of your permit date you are allowed in to scout etc. Everything is cleared up at that meeting. Pretty cut and dried.
-
And then take that key, throw it in the trash and hunt one of the herds on the periphery that never get hunted. Some monster bulls dying of old age in there. And also,

There are monsters behind the sierra pacific gates but I know Archery guys have been frustrated in the past finding them. My advice is to get off the logging roads where you can and hike a bit. Which means you need to be comfortable packing out and you might need to find some two legged mules.

Ok cool, yeah I figured getting off the beaten path was the best for me. I got some help to call if I do drop something but it値l be just me hunting.
