Title: Hit the roads or hike the hills (late tag)
Post by: slinger on November 08, 2010, 02:35:57 PM: We hunted 3 days over in Winthrop trying to fill our late chewuch tags but didn't see alot of deer. I passed on a decent 4 pt yesterday hoping I will get something bigger.(hopefully it was not a mistake..lol) We really have never hunted this unit much so we pretty much road hunted the whole time. I have never been a road hunter but not knowing the unit very well we figured we would be better off covering lots of ground. So having a late tag like this do you think it is wise to keep traveling the roads in hopes of coming across a shooter or should we be hiking the hills trying to find one? Just wondering what others think? :dunno:
