Hi there,
So as an alternative to going to Princeton for a hunt (I might not be able to find a partner - gotta keep costs low), I have been throwing around the idea of heading to Revi to poke around. A buddy is going to be working down there and he should be able to get out with me at least a portion of the time. When he's not available I'll probably do some exploring on my own, although I'll probably keep it fairly tame as I don't know my way around there much - maybe short trips from the truck, but no epic solo jaunts on foot.
I was wondering if anyone can help with some questions:
1 - How far does one have to go to get into decent elk country? Anything within an hour?
2 - I've heard the area south of Shelter Bay can be decent for whities. Is this mainly a late hunt or is it OK all season?
3 - Is any of the stuff closer to the ferry decent or do I have to drive quite a ways south?
4 - Is that area good mixed deer country?
Recommended spots are not expected but highly appreciated if anyone is that generous. PMs are fine and I can and will keep things quiet if that is desired.
Thanks a lot, folks.
