Go up high and you should see blues and ruffs...I've shot lots up there by the berries. Its a bit of a drive but pack a lunch and enjoy it...If you have a bear tag----take a rifle with you. Good luck wherever you go

What road did you turn off in? THe national forest is right there, and a guy could end up in some trouble quick!

NWBREW,

What trouble might that be seth30 as National Forest land is generally open to public hunting? Are you confusing National Forests with National Parks that don't allow hunting?

That road goes way up into Finny Cumberland. Keep going up that road and there is tons of roads you can run. Also a good area for bear. :twocents:
