[QUOTE="charles bonner, post: 803120, member: 37232"] I hunt 16 c on the dividing line with 16 a.I've lived in this area most of my life and have never seen it as dry as it is now.Water will be the key unless we get some summer rains.If you come in from Winston through Beaverhead you'll will enter 16 a on Cooney prarie.If we get moisture there will be elk on Cooney.It is about 50 miles back to Winston and there is no fuel any closer than that.There is a pay phone in Beaverhead;but it usually won't take money so bring a paid phone card if you need to call out.No cell service. The forest service is starting to implement forest plan G and if they get it done a lot of roads will be closed and there will be no driving off road to retrieve down game;so bring a back pack.16 a is a huge area and some great country can be reached from Reserve into the Eagle peak country.I don't know what the camping situation will be under plan G.They are saying no dispersed camping on the back roads;but I don't know what that means.Contact the Forest Circus Gila area! If we get rain or snow in October the roads can get really muddy in a hurry.Sorry I can't scout around for you as I drew a 17 muzzle loader this year and will be hunting the Sacrementos. Good Luck!
