What about those of us who don't want to, or aren't capable, of outworking everyone else?

Nearly every seasoned back country hunter I know has taken their fair share of reapectable "road" bucks. :chuckle:

our camp in CO has taken a 190, a 192, and a 184 from a vehicle.  The 192 and 184 were consecutive days off the same doe group  :chuckle:

Outsmart or outplan them...hunting areas that are far from services, crummy roads, etc. can whittle down the number of people just like steep climbs and rough terrain.  In areas with long seasons - I've also had good luck skipping opening wknd and hunting the last week of season..this assumes the season is 3 or 4 weeks though, not just 2 weekends.  Also - if your are going to have crowds, try to use that activity to your advantage.  My  :twocents:

The beauty of hunting is it's as fair as it gets.  If a guy doesnt care to work to hard at it, then he can expect results that are relative to that kind of output.  If I guy wants to go all in and do what those other guys wont, then he will likely be rewarded. 

If your knees are bad, or you are disabled in some fashion, a better plan would be to avoid high traffic areas.  Focus on the over looked areas and then learn those areas well enough that they will start to produce.

I just thought it was funny that the plan is to go in further than everyone else. As if that is an easy thing to do. When I go out of state to hunt, one of the reasons I do so is because I don't want to have to hunt as hard as I would in Washington in order to be successful.

That's definately not true for me. I hunt a lot harder out of state, because the rewards are much sweeter the majority of the time.

But in doing so, you have gone further in than most.  Every mile from I-5 is getting you further in.

There’s a lot of internet warriors on this site that like to talk about going steep and deep...

King county population equals MT and ID added together. Might have something to do with our overcrowding
