I've been foraging that piece of entertaining piece of state revenue gathering for 25 years ,got tired of being pains reciprical I've hunted as a kid I've hunted as a idiot and I've hunted there as a exsperianced senior,so ,,, what are the odds your gunna see a elk traveling under 20 miles an hour , what are the odds your gunna see one that fits your extra dollars harvest lottery ticket , what are the odds it's gunna be a true spike , and what are the odds your gunna put a flying stick in it to where it goes , down and doesn't run for ten Acer's , so u can track it for days , and find it doesn't have any of the deceases that are plauquing our forests Oh ya ! And what are the odds your not ruined , busted or just plain embaraced when the Jeep club that meets , eats and pickels there brains , beyond careing about what your up to other than wearing some kind of Gill clown suit , and as far as buggling goes , what a joke , as Wayne chalrton said to me face to face at a small gathering here in Spokane s general store , the only call left for us fools who are still trying to fool Mr majestic , is the lost calf call , on a little $5 cheep caller , just one little chirp , the cows come running and the bulls follow , hey where the heck ya going type stuff , 90% of the time bulls are dumb enuff to bugle and attract preditors or us , these know it alls who bugle into the dark spectical of there drunkenness are just calling in preditors or scairing the elk away , again with 90% of the time , then there's the Christian rock band that throws there secret message across the giant valley every season , then there the cordiroy camoes thing , the full blown headers road hunting party ,where all you see is bows , arrows head bands , bandannas and teeth and beer and yelling, and the crooks creeps and criminals that watch from a far for you to go on your I'm alone trek then Rob you blind , only to be told bywoodsy Mr. Green jeans that he's sorry to here that but he's got herd of elk to protect by closing a road to them with signs that say fire danger !!!😃🤣😂 But hey ! Great draw get out there before the Hubble carring fools take over ery inch of safety and sanity that is our forests today , and where a mask DANGIT !!!
LOL Cryder is more correct then not. Been hunting there 30 years and have encountered every single thing he says. Now its not a guarantee that your hunt will be ruined by one of the things listed but with the amount of activity in the unit it is always a possibility. There are places to get away from the majority of the crowds but there isn't any part of that unit that doesn't get people in it.
Yes , next year , being 62 and cancer recovery , I'll be spending big bucks on a clod hopper , saddle , to place my game cam in ones of those places you believe your alone , untill I discover some woodsy creep has stolen my game cam , Wich by the way has happened twice , on e out of my tent and the other by a sign that said no access , firedanger !! Went back in the early winter to follow prints right up to my camera location , it was gone , evidently someone checked it two or three times before Hocking it somewhere in beatifull downtown Naches for a box of apples prolly , and that thing was nowhere near roads , trails or dirt bikes , I was really surprised , but it really put things in perspective as to the forests we are charged , taxed , and babysat to imitate hu time g , I get the correct use of buggleing , I get it , but like I said 90% of the time it's the wrong choice , I used the lost calf call 1 money after speaking with Wayne the shock of the quick response I got cought me not ready , huge 3×4 came in behind two cows , I'm litteraly between the cows so I tried not to spook the as I heard the branches and lim busting , I was left with horns at the top of the brush and liegs at the bottom , no shot , and no way to move without getting busted , for some reason the cows ran off and Mr. Majestic took off the other way , breeze was perfect for me so unclear why they bailed on me , I was speechless for quite a while , but that call worked to perfection , ha b nt been close enuff since ,.but I will be back to the rimrock area soon
