Anyone hunting Wertheim this year?

[Sogaard]

I lost on shotgun, but I won on archery for the 18th and 19th in Area 3.  Does anyone have any experience there?  I'm away the one day they allow scouting beforehand so I'm looking for any insights.

How does one get to hunt Wertheim? Application process? Lottery?

I've hunted Werteim several times....area 3 is a tough one to figure out, very thick brush, I got picked for that area the last two years and have had slam dunk shots at several bucks, but saw no does..............wish I had good advice for you, but unfortunately I don't.

You have to fill out an application and an "open book" test, then mail it in.  If you pass the test, you get put into a lottery.

Hmmm...So, if the government is still shutdown next weekend, I'm assuming that Wertheim will be closed and I'll be screwed?

just got the call....this weekends scouting is cancelled as well as the hunt scheduled for the following weekend.

I got the call today too, jjb.  They said if the Gov is back up and running before the 16th, it still might be on, if not, they will try to reschedule.  

 

You were going on the 18-19th?  Which section?  If they reschedule, it might actually work out better for me, I was unable to hunt the 19th, so I was only going for one day.
