All Other Gear / Re: Pants for wet brush?
« Last post by PsoasHunter on Today at 12:16:07 AM »
I've torn up nice sitka rain pants, they're not durable enough to last multiple seasons, but they worked really well for awhile. Bought a pair of filson single tin pants, buy didn't use them much as I tagged out in eastern wa in the early season.  They seem like they will work well, but they're heavy for hiking in from the gate to my hunting area.

Heading back out to Montana to try to seal the deal on an elk.  My sister is a chef in Helena and loves to do non-traditional Thanksgivings.  Last time we did a 5 course meal where the dishes came out about an hour apart - I think it was French style and I contributed some elk last time.  This year she wants to do Chinese cuisine, which I don't really know how to do other than stir fry.  Thinking of suggesting short ribs or something like that.  Should be awesome though!  Can't beat hunting for 3-4 days, hanging out with family and eating good food, then heading back out again.  Finally snow in the forecast!

My buddy just sent me a 4 pic sequence of 2 mature bucks fighting 10 min ago in Lewis country logging country. Full on rumble. One of them has a busted of g2 at the main beam now. They were fighting for at least 5 minutes in front of the camera.

Fishing / Guided Ice Fishing WA
« Last post by avidnwoutdoorsman on Yesterday at 10:07:41 PM »
I've done a little google and come up short.

Last year I took the family out to Whitefish, MT and we did the sled dogs, Glacier NP, and Ice Fishing... our family always try to do a winter trip for adventure.

My Father just moved to the east coast ... well long story... so cutting to the chase when I think of my father and what I love doing with my father it was always fishing. Now with probably not too many "good" year left we've slotted to bring him out the second weekend of February to see my daughters while they are on mid-winter break and I am hoping to take the family out on a similar trip in WA but with Grandpa. We are based out of Vancouver so this would apply to anywhere lets pretend withing a half days drive. Curlew I know is great and is 7hrs so lets call that the radius.

Ideally we would end up somewhere where we could spend a day on the ice fishing but also another day snow shoeing, tubing, doing other snow/winter activities. So yes I saw maybe fish lake by Levenworth, Potholes could freeze enough, Bonapart, Curlew, Patterson, Roses.... if you can ice fish we can find other things to do. Bring our own sleds, find a near by slope, snow shoe a trail, etc. That's all easy. But I dont have ice fishing gear and I'd love that to be one day with my Dad and his Grand Daughters.

So are there guides in WA?
Does anyone want to welcome us along in their tent? (Wife, 3 kids, Grandpa, and I)
Is there something I should be looking for in Eastern, OR or Western, ID? I think I heard once Cascade Lake can be good and that 7hrs...

Wife wants to keep it to a 2-3 hr drive so we are probably going to get stuck around hood if I cant come up with something Great. And maybe I am missing something up there.

Would love the help or tips or suggestions. This will likely be the last winter my Dad can do an adventure like this with my girls....

In the vein of keeping it simple for just two of us. Roasted Turkey breast, stuffing, mashed tatos and gravy, yams, biscuits, and maybe some kind of sweet corn side. It’s all good. Oh, individual deserts… wife likes carrot cake and I like cherry cheese cake.
