$350. If you're a MH, you're better off hunting 371. Both are open for antlerless until January 20th.

Post by: losdaddy7 on December 14, 2011, 04:05:22 PM: I wouldn't say it needs to be flagged. It is a legit opportunity to hunt on private property in 3912 that border the elk fence, with no guarantees. The guy (Rob Weaver) grants access for 1 year. What people should be aware of is the fact that he overstates the actual land that is huntable, and he also claims all but one hunter has harvested and elk, which I know is not true. If you have a few hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket and you want to try your luck along the elk fence on around 500 acres, then maybe this is right up your alley. For me, no thanks.
