It has great genectics but CDOW gives out a ton of tags. It's really hard to get away from all of the hunters, even if you hike in 2-4 miles. The deer go into hiding after a day or two but if you work hard you might be able to find a nice buck.

I know people who live up there and dont really hunt it much anymore as Hiker said to many tag to many people and a lot of elk hunters too.



Cant imagine saving pp up to hunt a deer unit like 44 and then be over whelmed by OTC elk hunters. DOW needs to wake up and do something with more units not saying we have to manage for 400 bulls but 5 year olds would be attainable in most units and would not hurt much in the way of tgas and revenue.

Point being if you have to save 7-10 points to hunt muliess in a unit then you should not have to deal with so many elk hunters in the same unit. By managing units for older elk and mulies then you give out less tags. Not saying to this in all units Just the ones that already take more than 4-5 points for deer already.

well I'd have to throw the boloney flag out on that 1.
I hunted about 3 days out of 2 seasons in unit 35 and tons of people every time on all sides of it. It was like the drive thru at Mc Ds waiting to get checked by the warden(twice).
What have ya got if ya haven't got a story?
