I think the high hunt does a pretty good job of weeding people out on it's own.

Nailed it!

I learned to not forget my trekking poles. Found a good spot via google earth but with the weight of my pack and no trekking poles I would have tumbled down the hill into a creek if I tried to get into the spot I wanted to.

Trekking poles are 100% essential items IMHO.  I know some folks don't use them, but I just don't get it.

How long you been doing the high hunt?  I got 14 yrs into it and your dead wrong that the internet hasn't had an effect..  Do all of us and you a favor and shut the heck up.   You wanta talk gear?  experiences?  do it.  but don't include wa high hunt in the conversation. Only a jackwagon would thump his chest on line about something so valuable.

I find it funny that you're so distraught over a couple guys talking about spending hours or days in fog and rain in their tents and not shooting anything. I can think of more important things to worry about. 

Backcountry hunting is a trendy thing to do right now. Tons of guys that want to make a YouTube video or get their next Instagram heroshot. Give it a couple years and most of those guys will give up because they can't hack it. The internet definitely has an effect, but things have a way of balancing themselves out. Wilderness, especially cold wet miserable Washington wilderness does an exceptional job of weeding out the weak. This isn't fight club pal, there are no rules about talking about it.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I think it's awesome what high buck hunters do and got mad props to them.  I high buck Hunted for 5 or 6 yrs and it beat the hell outta me. Gave up that season for now cuz my kiddos are getting older and frankly i was sick of getting stung by bees. I think Utah comments are complete BS and maybe if he's worried about people chatting online about high buck hunting, then maybe he should go a little bit higher next time to hunt :dunno:

Hey I get it, I really do. You won't catch me posting online where I was, or even giving vague info that might lead people to believe they know where I was. But if people want to chat about their experience and what they learned, I fully support it. It will educate some of us, and will even dissuade some people who were considering it after reading about all the trials and tribulations they went through.

Also, I like my steak pureed. I don't have to floss afterwards  :chuckle:  :P

Public forest.  You are not the first person to go on a high hunt or will you be the last. I encourage people to get out any time of year.  Live in the woods. Love the woods.
