High Buck - Some Observations

[jackelope]

After years of reading of these posts and never having been there I am fairly certain there is either a) a 90% harvest success, b) one deer shot a year and 125 medivacs or c) it's the same thing as c-post.

Some combination of all of the above.

This thread is making me want to buy a Washington deer tag-deer hunting where I need an ice axe ?sounds pretty damn exciting  I think the op was probably trying to discourage but I think his plan might have backfired and created more interest in a lot of hunters.  I need to check it out! get ready for 1 more newbie on the mountain!!! Cant be worse than some of the crap I have crawled up in Idaho. Or can it?  the mystery is getting me excited  I just don't want to be up against those psychos who have been training and dreaming about it all year.( I thought most hunters did that but must just be high hunt hunters?) Interesting thread and it does really want to make you check it out at least once.

Back in 2000, I was running a flannel shirt, a Cabelas Alaskan pack frame and an 8 lbs Slumberjack sleeping bag in the ALW.   I believe my pack, complete with 8 days worth of food and a 7mm ultra mag topped with the biggest scope that leupold made at the time, came in at a nice even 80 lbs.  😂

My first backpack hunts were pretty much the same, 10lb tent, huge sleeping bag, the first hunt I went on the best light I had was a 3 d mag light and no head lamp, I still remember trying to eat top ramen with a huge mag light tucked into my neck. Good times

Only 80 lbs? You must have forgot your beer?

Unlimited sheep hunt Montana army surplus backpack but I had beer and instant coffee in hand!

I never weighed my pack but it was half full of beer and heavy! That was an excellent learning experience for me as I ran out of food and was not camped close to water😂 But managed to get the sheep out without dying. Solo but my buddy came up after a few days and was there to help me get it out and he brought some food!

Can’t have a bad time if you enjoy being miserable.

That's pure gold right there! It's been 30+ years since I've seen a Bota Bag.

You seem to enjoy being miserable. Packing that whole buck out with legs attached still.

It was a backcountry essential

I can't wait for the season. 3 of my friends and myself are going over LG and into the Napeequa. Had 2 scouting trips up there so far one in the valley and one from above. Looks very promising.

Little Giant, a trail known as a horse killer.

Mostly due to the fact Trapps daughter killed 2 horses below the pass after she was told not to take her horses down into the valley. I drug one of the saddles up the hill a couple weeks later. The bears sure loved the horse meat.
