redline410 Report post Posted September 23, 2016 Well that was fun- After spending most of the summer scouting for my 2016 archery hunt, I came away with some very valuable lessons about Unit 27 First: there is a lot more to the unit than the 403 road Most of it will punch you in the soul. But some parts will save it Second: Whether live or on memorex- Bears are alway entertaining Third: Elk can be A-holes And also Magnificent Fourth: Proper shot placement helps eliminate the whole joy of tracking Fifth: Its good to be lucky And finally: Nothing better than a successful drive home Big thanks to my brother, Curt! The 5 hour pack out would have been significantly longer without you, amigo. To those who asked- I really don't think the early rifle hunt affected the archery hunt as much as the weather and crowds. I certainly wouldn't want it to be a permanent thing- but every few years isn't as terrible as it may sound. Thanks for looking. Dave 27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
