That would do it. Went deer hunting with a guy who took 2 gallon jars of pickled eggs and 2 cases of Schlitz beer. All animals took off during the night and I left the next morning! I think it killed the trees in that camping spot!

Excellent work. Those are beautiful.

I called last week and they said still closed.

My Dad and I were scouting for elk in 5BN several years ago. We sat and listened to the Bulls bugling til about 1:00 in the morning. There were some real growlers going at it. After it quieted down my Dad decided it was time to answer the call of nature. He tried to sit up on the air mattress and kept falling over . After it happened a couple of times I decided to help him up. Sure enough the same thing was happening to me. We couldn't get shoes on while sitting on the mattresses. We started laughing so hard we almost didn't get out of the tent in time! - opening day of that hunt we were glassing a meadow when an Ultralight came buzzing over us at very low altitude. About 2 minutes after he passed us there were a bunch of shots from the direction he had headed. Called game and fish but never heard if they caught those guys.

That is a beautiful hike. I'd be a LOT more worried about buzztails than bears! Enjoy it and share some pictures when you get back!

Was born into it. My earliest memories include going to the desert shooting 22's and having picnics. Every summer we would vacation in Colorado and fish. Dove and quail hunting and finally going deer hunting and putting in for elk. My Dad loves the outdoors and raised us to Love it too.

Great tribute to a Great Man! Americas greatest generation? We are losing them too fast!

Stuck in my cube on a beautiful day. Made me want to get back to Oregon for some Steelhead!

Here's a green Salmon I caught on the Nehelum on a fly. That was FUN! Don't need any comments about how I fill those waders!

My good friend lives in Tillamook. His house overlooks the Wilson river. The foggy picture was on the Wilson. Spookiest morning ever on a River. The 2 Silver Bullets were caught on the Trask river. The MONSTER was caught just above the hatchery. The little one was caught just below the hatchery. Both were natives and lived to be caught another day. We were using spinners.

You're killing me SMALLS!

Good Luck!

Best movie EVER!

So SORRY for your Loss TJ. And so sorry I didn't see this til now. I loved reading your accounts of fishing and hunting with him. You know he will still be with you on every hunt and fishing trip. Every time you miss a strike you'll hear his laugh. Every time you haul one in you'll feel his pride. And every campfire you sit beside you will feel his presence! He blessed you with his outdoor passion and good humor. May he rest in peace and may you rest easy knowing where he is now.

I think there isn't anything on the 15000! They are messing with us!

WOW. Congrats on one big bad a$$ Cat!

Message Doogan on this site. He does GREAT work!

Great pics.

Congrats! Great pics!

Great pig on her first solo stalk!

Nice Pig!

Way to stick with it! Nice Pig!

You'll get the chance to utilize it someday. It's always better to have and not need it than not have and need it! Nice pig!

WOW! Kinda glad I missed this till now. I got to read the whole thing without having to wait for updates. What an incredible thread. Way to document the whole journey. You sure put the effort in to get that beautiful Bull. Taylor did an incredible job preparing for this hunt too. Congrats to you both. You brother did a great job on that video as well. Good payment for the Butt whoopin he took in the shooting match. Great job by all. Nice GSP's by the way.

I Love that area. Great pics. Too bad about not landing anything but at least it didn't interrupt your drinking!
