    help with area 9 antelpoe

    Can anyone direct me to a source for info or a decent area to hunt antelope in area 9? I know it's not the best area, but we have a young hunter who's yet to kill a big game animal (he's missed to pigs here in Ca) and this was a sure draw area for us. Thanks

    Hi, I just got a Magellan eXplorist 610 GPS and i want to get some good quality topo maps. It comes with a "Summit Series" topo but it is not very good.

    best time to scout for deer and elk.

    Hi, Can anyone give me advice on the best time of year to scout for deer and elk? I have tags for both species in area 71 and 72 late season. I am anxious to go sooner rather than later, but I suspect where I find deer now will not be their location in October. Not so sure on the elk. Thanks
