Big Game Hunting > Deer Hunting
I'm back, dissapointed and sore...
MichaelJ:
Ya I'm happy with the hunt! Still am recovering a little bit and to see my gal back here at home was a big boost to my weekend... haha
Seriously my bro and I look back on it and say we gave it our all and checked off a great couple days in the high country!
Get THIS! On our hike out we ran into a guy going in solo. We started with small talk and I asked him where he was headin, he said he didn't know and was gonna find a flat spot on one of the main trails and camp and hunt. He asked where we were coming out of and I told him the 'general' area of where we were...
He then says he doesn't know where we were at and says "Well you're gonna have to show me where you were on the map..."
Then he pulls out a green trails map and asks me to point out where we were hunting!!! I couldn't believe it! I told him an area a couple miles distant and said good luck and suggested another area which I have heard good things about (which is true). But C'mon, you don't just ask a total stranger on the trail to point out where on a map he was hunting!!!! lol

Looks like ya had fun though and thats all that really matters... looks like the area was pretty decent and obviously held bucks earlier but thats there home and they know how to disappear I know how it is to have bucks just vanish into the woodwork... smart buggers... well stay in touch and let me know how the rest of the year goes whether in wa or id.

For the most part I won't tell the whole internet where I am hunting but these places are not big secrets where I go. I've shared info like that before with a fellow and didn't think much of it. However everyone has the right to keep a "secret" if they want.

I understand where you're coming from Ray. I asked the guy if he'd been in there before and he said he'd been to X place before but that was it. It was obvious he didn't scout and didn't really have an idea of where he wanted to hunt. I have no problem with that, but I didn't pour over maps from March till now to give up info that I've worked for and figured out to a guy that is just going in on a bonzai trip. I'm confident I was in a good area, and I'll what I can to keep my 'spots' privy to me.
I gave him a good idea of another place where I would really like to hunt one day, so I gave him so good info, but I wasn't going to point out the exact drainage of where we were...
