official high hunt results thread!

well, the results of my hunt included a lot of pictures, a lot of people, sore legs and no deer. weather turned ugly so we hiked the 8 miles out this morning empty handed. didn't see much deer, one small 3 point that i wouldnt have packed out if someone paid me and 2 does. did however see more people than i ever thought possible in an area that i expected to recive rather light preasure, dissapointing to say the least. i only know of one buck (a small 4 point) being shot in that area in 3 days. heard only a few shots for 30+ hunters. lots of unhappy camps up there. anyways, might give it a try next weekend, we'll see. hope everyone else had better luck!

Thanks for the report. Which wilderness area did you hunt? How cloudy did it get?

We hunted Apine lakes from the east side on Saturday only. The weather was nice. We had the whole area to ourselves The only people we saw wereon the hike out and not inside the wilderness boundary. We also saw no bucks. Does only. PS: someone made the trail steeper again this year. That pisses me off.

Wannahunt, they made the hills steeper in your hunting area too? I swear to god someone better have a word with the forest service, because they seem to be doing that everywhere I hunt as well.
Danged if I didn't think I was just getting older, but if the trails are steeper in other places too, they're doing it to all of us.
I think it's a conspiracy to keep us meat eaters out the woods and it's being perpetrated by the antihunters/granola munchers if you ask me.
Sounds like you had fun and at least saw some good scenery.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Well yeah it was steeper this year!
I got my butt handed to me.
We went in wanting to back door an area but with large blow downs and the fact it never opened up
really hurt our chances of scoring. Didn't see a thing. It was hot and I think that had to do something with it.
I need to go back to a closer area and am looking at Alpine Lakes area. My hunting pards are working and not able to go. I'm looking at just a couple of days.
Anyone game to go to a new area? PM me..

The conspiracy is worse then you guys know. I think the forest service has infiltrated ours schools because both my sons laughed when I was trying to let them in on the evil's of trail modification.
It's pretty scary. Heres a pic from near our camp.

dang.... sounds like a bust this year. now i don't feel so bad! well, at least my mind don't feel so bad, the legs are another story. i'll second that the heat was terrible. oh, and whatsup with all the hippie eco freaks wandering the woods during hunting season? i didn't think they'd stray much greenlake this time of year, except for the occasional trip up to capitol hill or maybe a local greenpeace protest or 2. they were none to happy to us 'heavily armed' as one guy, (or maybe a gal i couldn't tell) put it. apperently yelling "hey bear" every few hundred feet and carrying 'bear spray' is more effective than a side arm, i dunno....
either way here a couple pics from the trip.

Not too much to add to this post. Saw 2 legal bucks and two bears, probably 15 does. First day was WAY TOO HOT, second and third days were pretty much fogged in and wet. Not the best year by far for me........

Congrats on a great looking high country buck, unfortunately for you its all downhill from here, 2 hours is a pretty quick hunt up there. It is addicting though, I will say that.

Damn.....I can see why he fell right in his bed. That bullet did some damage! Congrats on a great High Country buck. Just because you got off farily easy this year, don't take your next trip up there lightly. Things can get nasty in a hurry up there. Good job......Thanks for the pics.
