Hopefully the chams will provide something to hunt if we find no deer sign around. It will be the first time we have hunted that sort of country but we are looking forward to it.

It is one of the few blocks I would apply for and be stoked if successful. I have hunted it and the lower ones a fair bit. But I am only after a trophy. Not many deer in there.
But likely to be good ones.

Last time I had it a 300+DS stag was shot on the flats I mentioned below the top block the very next season. I seen reasonable sign but nothing to make me want go thru the misery of reaching those flats again.

Maybe try and show some restraint If you see an 8 or a 10 with all its bottom tines. A few stags from that valley have made Banwells books.
