    How do I scout for my october 24b hunt?

    Hey I was wondering if I could get some pointers on scouting for my 24b hunt. I have heard that the Oct. hunt is normally overrun with hunters, which means one needs get deep into the mountains to get away from the crowd. I was wondering how early I should hope to glass up some bucks? I have a few areas I would like to try, but I am not sure when is the right time.

    Wallow Fire

    mismanagment of our forest, that is what it boils down to. Every year there are human caused and nature (lightning) caused fires that get out of hand. How much forest needs to burn before the government and/or citizens do something about it?

    How do I scout for my october 24b hunt?

    Yesterday was a good day to start....Im just playin! try to get out as much as possible...the bucks I have been seeing are growing slow this year i would say most of them are only about half to 3/4 grown, but you will know if he is a shooter. If you find them now, they will be near the same place on opening day in October 75% of the time. After opening day, they may move a bit or go nocturnal depending on the hunting pressure. Good luck! Haha I know I should be out there right now! I hope I can find something!

    Benefits of Fires

    I still can't get over all of that good country burned up there. I was talking to an avid fly fisherman friend of mine who was saying that even the fish population on the streams and rivers up there, especially black river, is getting hit hard by all of that nasty burn/fire retardant run off. But I do agree that those burned areas will produce some large antlers in the future. I hope we can pass some legislation here in the future that will actually protect our forests. I would have liked to see a DC-10 sent out IMMEDIATELY to stop the fire in it's tracks, wilderness area or no, instead of letting it burn all that forest and peoples' homes!

    24b Bucks

    hello i am noob, but excited to be apart of this forum/community. I have grown up hunting mainly mulies and elk, but have gone on a few couse rifle hunts without any luck. We saw the couse, but never got close enough to shoot. My brother-in-law convinced me that I need to join this forum and get into couse hunting. He was a long time member of cwt.com until he passed away a few months ago. We really miss him! We were lucky enough to get a few 24b early dec. tags (hunt 1089) this year. I was just wondering if that area has good genetics and produces big bucks? Well I guess, I can sort of answer that question myself because a few years back we were hunting mulies in 24b and I nearly shot this nice couse that I jumped. I just saw antlers but then I saw the white flag, so luckily I did not shoot. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen or bagged anything big from that unit. No I do not need to know coordinates! Thanks!
