Looks like rain and moderate temps in the high country. Me and my son are making the trek friday morning for five days of hiking with guns. Really looking forward to being wet and stinky tired and sore and an all around great safe time had by all. Good luck shoot straight and enjoy it while you can.

Yeah, should be fun.  Definitely triple checking the rain gear.

First rule of the high hunt is we don’t talk about the high hunt.
:chuckle:
Good luck!

why not talk about it? Those who work hard will be rewarded! We’re headed in Thursday morning looks like we could be in for some snow on the 21st. Good luck to all!

I think he was just joking...

Back in the good days I would go a week in the high country without seeing anyone... nowadays I don't bother...so thus the we don't talk about high hunt humour.

Going to be another second weekend year for me for high buck.  Doing the archery elk/deer backpack hunt in Oregon later this week, so won't get up for high buck hunt until the 20th. 

I'm fatter than I normally am this time of year due to not being in as good of shape as I prefer due to some nagging little injuries, so going to be some hard miles.

Biggest reason I don’t talk about the high hunt is because I haven’t done the high hunt in a few years. Not much to talk about from me. Amateur hour over here. I’ll be high hunting in the Blues in a few weeks. We can talk about that if anyone wants to. Specifically looking for large mule deer bucks tied to trees.

Still seeing if I can squeeze it in between work and home projects. But I am hoping to get up for a few nights. Or if time doesn’t allow for that I do have a multi season tag and I may end up taking my bow and a shotgun north east looking for white tails and turkeys for a day or two

My older brother and I just came off the mountain from a high hunt 5,000 feet up. The weather was absolutely brutal thunder and lightning like we have never heard and seen before. Lots of good bear sign. A few elk and deer sign not much though.

Not sure I’m going up this year, with taking 3 weeks off in October for my BC Moose Hunt I’m not sure I can get the anymore time off. Good luck, hopefully it’s not a crap show like last year.
