Any information on area 93 would be greatly appreciated. I have hunted 42 last two years if anyone needs info.
Area 39, I would go hunt. I have always seen deer in the woods across from Mount Eden Base Camp. It is steep, and that limits hunting space to ridges and valleys. Hard to hunt the in-between (slopes) in that area. I would probably pick one of the many valleys or draws and hunt that.
I may be mistaken, but I believe that the number of hunters per area for the quota hunt is higher then what they allow in them during the extended gun hunt. For those of you that are worried that your area was gun hunted to death, I personally would not be worried much. Does it decrease your chances of seeing deer? Maybe, but I am not convinced. Does it mean that there are not longer deer in that area? I highly doubt that.
Last year, I hunted 34 for the quota hunt. It was open for the extended gun season quite a bit. I even went out there during the extended season to hunt and scout. Only saw one small spike before the quota hunt. Shot a nice buck during the quota hunt.
Regardless of how much it was hunted, you will not have a chance at a Knox deer if you don't go.

I hunted 33 last year which is somewhat near area 39 which is at the Mt Eden gate...it looks to be a rough, difficult area to hunt...however, if you can find where a couple of those ridge lines come together, you may have a decent travel corridor...on a calm day you need to be on the ridges under white oaks if you can find any...on a breezy / windy day head for the valley...
Just make sure you are prepared to drag one up a challenging slope...

Area 77 Nov.19,20 does anyone know if it's worth a 10 hour drive to hunt. I don't live close enough to know anything about what areas are open and so on. If it's worth a hoot I will roll on up if not I'll hunt around the house.
