What would be the best time of year for that area? Early or mid Nov? I was thinking if I hit an archery only CA, during gun season then I may not have near as much trouble with other people. Also any specific conservation areas yal would recommend? I am looking at Shanks right now, and hunting during the gun season 12th - 22nd. Hoping the gun hunters over on Dupont and Anderson may run some biggins over onto Shanks. I was hoping I could rely on the good fellows here on the Beast to provide me with some tips. Coordinates appreciated
I grew up about an hour from Shanks. Remember duck hunting there one year right before Thanksgiving. Back in 04 or 05 maybe? We came out with 0 ducks but saw two different hunters with nice bucks in the parking lot. A beast could do some damage in there. Been several years since I've been over there though.
