Well, I won't be able to hunt early archery or modern general, so I guess I'll have to chase the big bucks in the rut. ;)

Post by: Wanttohuntmore on July 16, 2009, 09:39:27 PM: Is the Mashel open for late archery? I don't remember seeing that. I might be up there for late muzzy, hopefully I have a nice muley before then though.

Agreed but now there isn't a hunt in there anymore during that time. I think the quality of bucks has gone down since they ended the special hunt, what do you think Doug?

Post by: powderbounder on July 17, 2009, 01:49:56 PM: I'll be in there. Good luck to all. PB
Title: Re: muzzle loading hancock for deer
Post by: Romulus on July 18, 2009, 10:19:29 PM: I think the quality of bucks is still about the same. The biggest factor in there is weather. If there is stormy weather
at the end of october or in late buck there will be plenty of big bucks killed. This year late buck is a bit to late to expect real good hunting but muzzleloader season is way to late. Anybody could get lucky however. Best of luck.

There is a early November hunt if you have a fat wallet. :chuckle:
