Title: Area 169 Wenaha
Post by: JeremyDeBoer on September 07, 2025, 08:51:52 PM: Wenaha 169 Buck muzzleloader
Have been up scouting couple of times, mostly the West side of the GMU. Looking for any additional advice on areas to try out. First time hunting in this area. Ready to do the work needed.
Thanks in advance!

Got the bear tag also and going to give it my best shot.
