Hirshey's Hunting Season 2016

[hirshey]

Many more miles left as the sun bids farewell

[hirshey]

Great buck! Another year, another great hunt to live through your story telling. I can't wait until next year's hunt

Alright Jeff it's all up to you to finish this hunt off

Yeah! Let's not forget about Jeff! Can he pull off a first day elk and a last day deer?

...that'll be tomorrow's tale. I need to get some packing done... headed up the Methow this weekend to drop my process meat off at Thomson's Meats there in Twisp.  they make some mean jalapeno-cheddar pepperoni sticks.

Great write up Hirshey! I love the Idaho backcountry. Curious I keep seeing a pretty heavily taped thumb on your boyfriends left hand, is that havalon slippage?

we had our share of havalon injuries... Knee, and many fingers!

I love big 3s, that's a nice buck!

My observations:
1)   Those big burns are a strange place to find marine mammal lovers.
2)   Fish and Game not high lining their stock is ridiculous.
3)   Your group would really enjoy a couple of pack mules in that country.
4)   This year was more mild then normal when I was there.
5)   Next year will only be better as you continue to learn your area.

Cheers

Wish I could talk my hunting partner in to working that hard.

Nice! I hoped you would get the big 3! He is a very nice looking mule deer, love the long 3rds.

They were both 16". He's a cool buck, and I enjoyed all the time I spent watching him. I'm definitely very happy with the harvest... Can't beat a beautiful buck and a solid, quick harvest.

Great story, I kept thinking I was going to read just one more page and here I am an hour later finishing everything posted and trying to plan my first out of state hunt.
