Could have been rt3? My buddy has a place on rt13 a couple houses from the sportsmans hole. He said that he steered them to state land but to be honest I did not pay it all that much attention. I may head up that way for some ML but I have a camp I run in Dacks with up to 9 hunters to coordinate. Only so much time. How is the pressure on the state lands on the weekends? Do you get much of the spray and pray croud, dont need to drive 5 hours for that when I can get it right here........INCOMING!!!!

Hey BA
Would the Sportsmans hole area be DMU 6K, it looks like 81 is the cut. And the area on rt3 you speak of, is that another DMU. The seasons are different and that is real close to the lines there. Would like to go up for the Oct 12 and possible hit some steelies/mud sharks (if they are running any water)

Rod, The statelands around here aren't really too bad. M/L season seems to get more & more popular every yr. Its nothing like southern tier opener. But you'll hear shots going off quit often. Bowhunting is my thing, so with the added hunters in the woods that Sat. I often find private sections more for safety reasons. But I think I'll give the M/L season a whirl this yr. The 6k cutoff is interstate 81. It goes the west side of 81, and the south bank of the salmon river where they meet is the southern tier line. The sportsman hole is definitly in 6k. There's a small state section just down the road from the sportmans hole, and probably near your buddies place. Its on Towsley rd. Its only couple miles from RT. 13. I've never hunted it, but walked the trail through it before. Has a snowmobile trail that runs through that piece. I'm guessing that might be where your buddies went if was close to that area. Hey good luck ,and maybe you'll get as lucky as they did!!!!!!!!

I have a nice warm house to crash in overlooking the river, maybe do some early hunt, some afternoon steelhead and then some evening hunting as well. Cap that off with a Johnny Walker Black Label on the rocks a good meal and hit the sack. Sounds just about perfect to me.
