Title: unit 245 scouting trip?
Post by: hillbilli on June 12, 2010, 12:13:12 PM: plotting a scouting trip to unit 245 (chiwawa?) , just wondering if someone could give pointers on where to start looking for elk. Also to those who hunt in that area, need an opinion- during the first part of october-do you think i'll be ok in a 2 wheel drive truck? I have chains, just not 4wd. I dont know how the weather gets there that part of the year.. thanks for the input.
