Title: GMU 520 Question
Post by: Dmcgugan on September 19, 2011, 08:09:06 AM: From my understanding St. Helens tree farm is left as you drive down the Winston Creek road. What area is to the right? That is not tree farm area correct?

Post by: Dmcgugan on September 22, 2011, 02:12:12 PM: Maybe I am buying the wrong map. I bought one at Sportmans for the 520 area. These are horrible maps in my opinion and do not really give a good representation of the area. I miss Montana....

Post by: bobcat on September 22, 2011, 02:15:41 PM: I would miss Montana too. If that's what you're used to, you may want to forego elk hunting in this state. Deer hunting can be ok, but elk is often more trouble than it's worth, IMO.
