I have four points this year for an archery tag.  Peaches is my first choice I hope I get drawn for it since this will be my last year hunting in Washington.  If I don't get drawn oh well, back to 249 Alpine I go.

Last year to hunt in Washington why is that?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Sorry I guess I should have explained.  The last time I hunt in Washington for a long time.  I get my commission in the Army this June as a 2nd Lieutenant and will be around until April of 2010.  From there I go to Ft. Rucker Alabama for flight school until about 2012.  Then from 2012 until 2024 I will either be stationed at Korea, Hawaii, Alaska, Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Georgie, New York, North Carolina or Germany. 

Basically during that time if I'm going to pay to come out west and hunt elk every year I'm going to go to Montana, Colorado or some other place where I can shoot a branch bull.  I don't mean to sound snotty or stuck up but I'm not going to pay to fly out to Washington to shoot a spike.

You dont sound stuck up. lol I dont think anyone would pay money to come here and shoot a spike. Most of us live in the state and some of us probably have a hard time spending money to shoot a spike. Well atleast me since I never see any.

Who can blame you?  I hope you continue to contribute to the forum during your travels.  Who knows, some day I might want to try Coluckum and I'll need to find you to get GPS coordinates. ;)

I know exactly where that photo of the pony was taken and (IF the lake they camped beside is between the pony and the saddle and not a mile out in front of the horse) the lake they camped on, too. It is my favorite elk hunting area.
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

If anybody is interested, that horse is for sale.  Just don't have the time for her anymore.  That was the first time she had even seen a dead critter.  I led her up to it and she started to eat the grass about a foot away from where it lay.  Didn't care at all when we loaded her up, even licked the blood off of our hands(must have been lacking some mineral?).  She's 6, about 16 hands tall, and an easy keeper.

If someone miraculously drew that tag it would be my pleasure to take you there.  As long as I could video it.  It would be awsome.
