Have had some great pointers so far. Myself, a buddy and his son all got first year hunters LEH for whitetail doe in 8-8. A couple of people have recommended Darke Lake as a good place to camp and hunt from. On a recent trip to Peachland my father in law and I drove into the Lake to check out the access. Should be able to get my 23' trailer in, just take it easy the last 1KM. Didn't get further than the lake for scouting, so didn't get a good look at the lay of the land. Reading the regs, and being ever the optimist, it looks like if we time it right we can also go after spike moose. Between the three of us there is a potential for quite a few animals (I know, optimistic, but I know the reality too, just like the optimistic better). A couple of seasoned hunters may be joining us too.
Can anyone recommend a meat cutter, butcher, place to hang, process, etc?
One person suggested getting in early (Draw is Oct 1 - Nov15) as once the snow starts the whitetail will move out. True?
Figuring out things as we go along so any advice is much appreciated.
