Title: Re: What unit are you hunting? How far are you traveling?
Post by: JackOfAllTrades on October 07, 2009, 07:59:43 AM: It's about 185 miles to hunt camp with the boys. Unit 218 and maybe a little of 203. If I hunt the late hunt, it'll be unit 117, which is about 375 miles to camp, but I'm trying to pass on that one for Deer. Once I get confirmation though, I hope to be over there later in the year for Kitty.
