Can’t remember.
Does 57 have a small pond in the center of it?
I hunted one of those 50’s a few years ago early archery near a pond and saw plenty of bucks.
Just no shots.

I called that number almost 200 times and didn’t get through until after 9am. I listed off 10 different sections and EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS FULL! Ended up with section 35. Nothing like hunting a perfectly flat square with trees so thick you can’t see but 10 yards at a time 😒

Yeah I do t know what it is.
That’s usually the same for me.
Call call and call and don’t get through till well after 9 and then all the ones I want are gone.
There has to be a better system.
Like maybe a lottery type draw with bonus points or something because dang I’ve got a lot of time invested in that place and can hardly ever get any of the southern units.
I did hunt 75 once but it was on the youth hunt and my son was #1 in that lottery draw.
So that’s what he chose but we did t see anything that day.
Lol

Back in the day you could go to the refuge office the day you had to call and choose in person…. A phone with automatic call back feature works great also!

I hunted it with another member from here. We seen a big buck locked down w a doe in the no hunting zone. I finally shot a doe late that afternoon after passing like a dozen of them. |

IMO the best hunting in BO is on the west side North or South….
