At this point I've scouted and hunted them for a long time, so I know pretty much exactly where they'll be.

That is, until the idiot walkie-talkie Dad/Son combo (or some other yahoos), show up and throw a monkey wrench in the opening day plans.

 :bash:

Regardless, it'll be nice to just be out spending some time soaking up one of my favorite places on the planet for 7-10 days.

The Boulder Pass, Napeequa, LG is becoming a popular area these days.

Yeah, it would be nice if more people realized that some of those deeper areas on the map are already being hunted every year by a handful of people that know exactly what they are doing AND oftentimes by the two different father/son(s) combo teams that apparently don't have the foggiest clue how to hunt it but run all over the place and spook game anyway.  Then layer on the REI crowd.  Lots of people for sure.

So Skyvalhunter, you wouldn't happen to know either of the unethical dad/son(s) that use walkie-talkies, do you?

One of the dads is a scrawy little dork with mouthy sons and the other is apparently a WDFW Hunters Ed instructor with a son that wears trail running shoes and has mountain goat legs.  None of them can hunt worth a darn without being coached in with walkie talkies. You'd think a Hunter's Ed instructor would be more ethical AND be able to teach his son how to actually shoot a rifle instead of trying to guide him in and jump shoot dink bucks and occasionally wound them and leave them to die in the alders.  I don't think they have any clue how many people are watching and listening to their clown show.

We're taking HD video cameras and scanners in this year. Who knows...maybe we'll make 'em famous.  ;)

I can't say I personally know of the ones you are talking about. I know a father and son that hunt in there but are mostly camped and hunting the Butte.

I would say change up spots. You don’t like the idiots and they ruin your spot. I don’t play well with others on the high hunt. I don’t work that hard to get in there to see anyone. I honestly can say I’ve seen one other hunter in 6 years on the high hunt.
Happiness is being in the woods!!!
