Area 407?

[tbonewwu]

I am a newbie here so go easy on me.  I was looking at seeing if I can get out for the late hunt in 407 (Nov. 15th-18th), but I have never hunted the area before.  I have lived here 13 years, but have always gone over to 101 and hunted.  I couldn't get over their this yr with a new little one but would like a shot to fill my freezer, I know it may be a long shot, but I can't fill it sitting on the coach!  I am just looking for some general information on some areas I can get into and hit the ground running.  I just don't really know where to start looking.  Thanks for any input.  I love this site and reading all the posts.

Went out scouting the van Zandt area today.  confirmed yes it is in 407.  saw a few people up there.  I am assuming this is a pretty popular area?  how much pressure is it going to have on the late hunt?  also went to the pardise valley area.  seems to be a smaller much steaper area.  Doesn't look like it has had as much traffic however.  opinions on the better area for the late hunt?

 I believe the dyke would be the equivalent of c-post.

I'll be hunting in the same general area during the late Muzzy hunt. I think you need to do the same thing that I started doing a few yrs ago. Get yourself a good map then get on Google Earth if you havn't already & start scanning the areas that your interested in looking for access points. Then mark these on a map & burn some gas & check them out.The Dyke is kind of a cluster #$%^  & its a place I don't hunt anymore. Good Luck

If you found a smaller area you didn't find the right spot. Sumas is a huge area with 3 entrances.  Both areas are real busy in the late hunt. There are animals in both spots  just get off the road, like any where else.
