Tomorrows Hunt

[X-Force]

Im heading out tomorrow in some steep country and want to know HW opinion. I hunt elk in the colockum, deer in mazama but this area is steep. Looking at google earth the first leg of my journey will be a .92 mile 2700' quad burner. Without any trail how long do you think it would take to get ridge line in mostly thick timber and avalanche shoots? I am assuming 2.5 hrs. What do you think?

If I'm reading your question right, riding a quad .92 of a mile, maybe 5 minutes tops to all day,

I think he means quads like the muscels. Be sad if it took anyone 2.5 hrs to go one mile on a quad

I was just teasing....

Jeez you will be scooting up that!  3 miles of 3200ft wagonwheel lake trail took 3 half hours to get family up.  I could have done it faster for sure but its a trail.  You will be climbing more than walking!! I would give myself more time and not kill myself. 3.5hours.

Good luck brother. Without me there to drink all of my water, you better learn to conserve or bring your steripen.

You know, I know plenty of flat areas bears are in.

Have fun! Lookin forward to pics!

yote you were right 3 hrs. 2 hrs down... but I would much rather go up than down in that country.
Got off to a late start and was only 1/3 of they way up by shooting time. 2/3 of the way up clouds set in and i was socked in until 2 or so in the afternoon. No bear, No goats, no deer. kind of lame with the lack of game and poor visibility but it was a great climb.
I got down before dark drove to a glassing spot and glassed the hill I was on earlier and still came up negative.
