Title: Willipa Hills-506 unit
Post by: bowkid on November 21, 2010, 09:43:22 AM: I had hunted this unit several years ago with rifle. Looking for a place to go for late archery on first weekend of Dec. Me and my hunting buddy are looking to head here and would like some feed back of what part of this unit may be better and we are not afraid of hiking in, anyone that would like to hook up with us is welcome also. Always appreciate the feed back, thanks and happy hunting.
