Title: Stampede 466 Unit
Post by: swanny on August 13, 2009, 04:54:25 PM: Trying to find somewhere relatively close to home to hunt in case the east side doesn't work out and it's accessible for one day trips. I understand the unit starts at the PCT trail and goes east, but how far east does it go? Trying to find road's in the 7000 series that the pamphlet talks about is impossible on Google maps.

Thank you.

In 2007 the report only shows 24 bucks being killed in that unit. That's out of 226 hunters for a success rate of just over 10%. I think I'd be looking for another option.

Post by: swanny on August 14, 2009, 02:14:25 PM: Okay...think I figured it out. You enter through Stampede pass and just have to cross to the west side of the PCT trail until you can hunt. I finally found Blowout Mountain as a marker for reference. I'm willing to get out and hike no problem with that, just looking for a place to go.
