1985 all over again.  Sweet another drock will be born.

I already feel old enough.  Now I REALLY feel old >:(
I wasn't born yet! life must have been boring before 1988

I bet your parents have fond memories of those years prior to 1988. :chuckle:

Sounds like you have a plan.   :tup:

I talked to JPhelps today about cameras and video classes.  If we go Option #1 I might need to talk you into being a camera man :chuckle:

I wish I had your problem of so many hunts/tags all over the country that I could just cancel them to worry about WA. All I DO worry about is WA and the precious time I get out there. These seasons are waaaaaaaaay too short and with us reduced to a single weapon choice, well, that's how it goes.

Awesome thread! I love hunting washington state! So much great hunting even if the wdfw tries to ruin it as much as they can! The reward is here you just gotta work hard for it!

Bummer sorry to hear about the moved hunts and delayed hunts. If this place down in TX turns out to be real good maybe we can blast down there late season and do a 4 or 5 day hunt if your time permits.

Good luck...I think everyone deserves to have a good plan come together....even if work crashes the party for a couple years, hopefully this is your year  :tup:

We get a good couple of years with the business and my health improves I should get a few more sheep hunts in before the body gives out.  My 45th b-day went so well it's a little sad to see a goal have to be postponed and miss the 50th.  But those are the cards we all get dealt once in awhile.  You know what they say, "When life gives you lemons...add some whiskey and have a party!!" :chuckle:  Sheep, moose and caribou will still be there on my 55th.

Biggest challenge this year will probably be finding a cougar when I want one.  I've never shot one.  I've called in a few back when we needed to draw.  Never had the tag.  And of course I see them often when turkey hunting...closed season.  Will be interesting to see how successful we can be if targeting cougar exclusively next winter.  Sure to be a hoot.

I'll tag along with you if you need a young guy to pack out all these monsters.

You might need some binkees to keep him happy though.  :chuckle:

I hear D-Rock is an expert at packing cows and does.  Just not sure he can handle a real big game animal. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Friends don't let friends hunt in WA.   :bdid:

Still a downer I see.  :tung:

Not many states where you can hunt Merriam, Rio and Easterns in a single year.  Has Roosevelt and Yellowstone elk - both world class potential.  Whitetail, Muledeer, Blacktail and Benchleg.  Big body bear from coast to alpine.  And some of the best quality cats even though you can no longer use hounds.  If you are lucky enough to draw a tag Washington has some of the best goats, best bighorn and best shiras moose in the country.

Not bad for a state that sucks balls.  :tup:
