Picked up two NICE sheds already....thick bases......and saw a few nice tracks. I'm hoping the bucks start dropping more soon. It is close to home and with the good number of bucks some blacktail sheds should be pretty easy to come by.

Post by: Camp David on January 03, 2012, 05:35:18 AM: Check the regs...I think it is artificials only with 16/0 hooks. Don't park in the field it is now full of elk.

sounds good, hoping to be out that way this october, and pm me about this C post place....never heard of it and would like to also find an area on that side of the sound for elk, most likely going to head to the oly's for elk, but would be nice to be able to stay close for a weekend banzai trip
