Title: Upper Smith Creek
Post by: Threewolves on June 25, 2011, 09:56:04 PM: My buddy and I drew Upper Smith Creek for archery cow from 07-14 oct. We are looking for intel/recomendations from anyone out there drew this tag and has hunted the area. Looks like a good backup plan incase regular season does not work out. Thanks

If you wanna scout togehter or compare notes PM me. forest service says they wont have marble mountain gate open for a few more weeks. I know the area fairly well so let me know if you have anymore questions.
