I hunt close to there
I've been hunting up in that area for many years. Not exactly in the National forest. Just to the west in county forest land near Cable. It can be real hit or miss. If you can scout - do it. The deer population is really low up there this year from what I hear. The last two years there have been real hard winters. Couple that with the wolves and bear and it can lead to some slim pickins. There has also been talk that the forest hasn't been managed too well and needs to have some logging to help hold more deer. In the past I've had really good luck but last year I didn't even see a single track.
