No Kidding?!!

Heck I went to guide school in Heron which is the next town (if you want to call it that) over. That's where I spent a good bit of time.

As a matter of fact, to get to the top of the drainages we were hunting we had to go to Trout Creek.

I'm sure it hasn't changed much since I've been there, so you can expect very mountainous terrians, but easy access via 4x4 in some places. You'll be hunting heavy timber with a lot of open parks or meadows. They did a lot of controlled burns around that area 15 years ago, so I'm not sure what it'll look like now. There are some MASSIVE whitetails around that area. I came home with a lot of sheds, in fact there wasn't a time I'd take a walk where I didn't pick up a nice shed. It got to the point where I wouldn't pick up anything larger than 5 points (whitetail)

One of the largest bucks I've watched in the wild for some time lived close there to triangle lake. He had over 22 points in early Aug with double drop tines close to 12"! The only immediate advice I can offer you, especially coming from Michigan is DON'T be shooting the first 8 point to come along or 10 for that matter (5 point Western count). You'll be kicking yourself in the rear

It's been close to 10 years since I've been there, but I doubt all the big bucks have been shot. I'n my time there an average buck was 140...yes average.

I'll go through some of my pictures and see if I can get them on here for you so you can see what it'll look like. Beautiful country!!.....you won't want to go back home after visiting
