Title: Is there any legal bucks left in Pack Forest ?
Post by: wormfood on October 18, 2011, 11:39:26 AM: I have spent the last 4 mornings hitting the alder cut off side of Pack Forest and I have seen 8 does and fawns, 1 spike buck, a 5x7 bull, 4 cows, and a bear cub.Haven't seen much of any fresh sign and wondering if all the 2+ point bucks have all disappeared. Think I am gonna hit the the La Grande side tomorrow just wondering if anybody has tagged or even seen any legal bucks in there since the rifle season started.

You would take 702 to mt highway and then take a right... you'll start seeing the yellow and purple gates.

Hey thanks Lincoln!! Do you know if you can drive in behind any of these gates? Dad is disabled.
