Edge Report post Posted April 30, 2016 If I had a dollar for all the cwt guys who pmd me saying they would go backpacking with me and naver made it ide have like 25 bucks. Edge is the only dude who ever made it. Just do it you won't regret it.Mike is quite the adventurer. Remember that time I got a message out to you via a third party from the wilderness that I'd be a couple more days late getting out, don't come looking for me yet. Now I gauge my back country success by getting back on time, everybody including the livestock is safe, and a grand time was had. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bojangles Report post Posted May 5, 2016 here's a dilemma, i got this late archery elk tag.... i don't know if i should get way back in there and hunt, or if i should just try to find something that i can shoot near the road, so it's easy to get out. i'd hate to hike in for 3 days and come home empty handed, i'm one of those i gotta fill my tag kind of guys. while i really like the hunt, i go into mild depression after a big bowl of tag soup.

208muley Report post Posted May 6, 2016 Definatly a unit you can pack into some spots! But you are right about getting one out! That Would be a ball buster for sure and maybe not a hunt to start backpacking with but only you can answer that. But what if you only packed a mile in and set camp. You would only be a short hike to the truck if things got tough but you would be ahead of any hunters pushing in from the roads as most won't go a mile anyways. Of course if you scout a bull you want near a road don't look a gift horse in the mouth! Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the quad guys stop at the trailhead and turn around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2hunt Report post Posted May 6, 2016 What is a skinwalker? Bugs? Navajo legend of shape shifters. Google it. I am not superstitious but when you've been hiking up and down mountains for days and your tired....your mind plays tricks. Good friend of mine if navajo and lives on the rez. They swear by it.

Since I didn't get drawn you should take me. Ill pack a camp in. Get an elk we'll pack it out on a mule. *Did I mention I know where the bulls hang in 22S?* 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
