Your not far from the area, it's thick though so it will be tough. Scout and find a nice place to put up a tree stand, maby get a trail cam and a salt lick to see what's out there. Good luck

Finney Cr has some good deer hunting.

Hunting deer near concrete hasn't been too prosperous for me. I prefer the "Drive method" and have found that works best on or right adjacent to asphalt. Also, the State/County assist by helping maintain my hunting area. Gotta love those tax dollars at work!

Only real drawback is constantly having to replace broken headlights & turnsignals and the occasional grill, but hey, you have to pay to play I guess!!!

Well, at least your just hitting deer and not elk or you would be replacing more then a turn signal. :chuckle:
