Hunting Pearrygin next week

[Elk4me]

I will be headed out Saturday for Twisp to hunt my" any buck" tag. I usually camp and hunt off the Loup Loup Pass highway. Jack Creek, Little Buck Mt. and the game range. I hope I find a nice shooter. I have waited a long time to draw this tag.

I am sitting in Swedish hospital with my brother, Fishseeker. He is in his last hours or days but I know he wouldn't want me to miss this opportunity. I am not sure how many more hunts this body of mine will be able to do. We had a good two weeks of elk hunting and he will be with me on this hunt.
 It looks like favorable weather next week so I have a good feeling about it.

good luck even with a heavy heart.

Good luck, a friend sent me a pick asking for a score opinion of a buck in there a couple days ago. I put it at a conservative 185", more likely 190"+ typical, yet he decided to pass. It's in there so go get him, I'll be heading over in the morning too.

He must be crazy. Passing a deer that scores 190. Glad he's not my hunting partner cause I like to eat.  oh wait a minute that means I can shoot. maybe I need more hunting partners like him for future trips.

Typically these late tag hunters are not too concerned with the "meat" aspect of the opportunity!

It has been 16 years since I tagged a deer in this state. I haven't necessarily hunted every year but it is still a long dry spell. I would like a nice rack though.

[Ridgerunner]

Good luck, get a good one in memory of fish.

May luck be with you!! Be safe and shoot straight!!

  after putting in for years and years for an absolutely premium tag, anyone who shot an average buck before the last day would be a fool.

Elk4Me, kill the biggest buck up there and remember your brother is there too.

[duckmen1]

I'm not saying someone should shoot a dink but a 190 inch buck is a monster buck. Don't think you will have much opportunity at much bigger but would love to see him prove me wrong with a bigger one. That would be awesome. Seriously.

[Westside88]

Best of luck to you. I hope you not only get a huge one, I hope you have an incredible hunt with some wonderful memories.

No way you would pass on a 190 buck.  Must not know what 190 looks like in the field.  A 160 buck would probably give a guy the jitters. 

[TylerMulie]

I don't see you having a hard time finding a buck with a nice rack with that late buck tag.

Should be good.  Fog is being a pain at the moment.  Ground is white
