Another year of the high hunt and noone talking about it. Who's going ?

Trying to remember......was it @saylean that a year(s) ago stuck a dandy buck on a high hunt with a trad bow?

I have shot a few with a trad bow but not in the early high hunt. I know bone has killed a few dandies early not sure if they were high hunt though?

[h20hunter]

Yes! It was bone @boneaddict  that stuck one vs shot one with a lens. Was a good read and recap.

I’ve done both, hunting it with a bow when I used to buy the modern tag and hunt with a bow, and of course just hunting the high country with my bow in archery season with the multi tag.  But yes, I’ve gotten an occasional good buck with the Trad bow.

Quick report on Iron Gate this year.  Showed up at trailhead @ 5:00pm on 9/20 w 20 rigs in the lot.  Probably 8 camps spread between Sunny Pass and in Horseshoe Basin.  Only heard 1 shot in 4 days of being out there... lots of does and a few 2 points, though I found a hide in a back basin so someone must have connected earlier in the week.  Screwed up a stalk on a black bear...  good times and beautiful country! 

Oh, and anyone with a moose tag, some guys that camped near the parking lot one night said a moose strolled through their camp.  There's lots of moose sign on the trail (including fresh tracks) between the parking lot and about 2 miles in...though it's pretty thick regen/burn so would be difficult to hunt.
