High Buck - Some Observations

My buddy hunts it every year and does well.  He doesn't even bring any gear in, leaves the truck with nothing that can't fit in a pocket and just picks up what he needs on the way in from discarded stuff.  Sounds like it's the Oregon trail, people overpack and have to drop gear to make it up high. 

My neighbor goes in deep, way deep.  He actually loads up goats onto horses and when the horses drop from exhaustion, he loads his gear on the goats for the second push.  When the goats drop, he makes the third and final push on foot.  It's not an inexpensive venture!

Bet it is a pain getting all those critters on the chair lift!

A few spots that you can do quick day hunts for high buck. Get a little busy though.

Your going to find high hunt successful hunters will spend several days hunting, glassing, etc

My time between looking at them and shooting them wasn't all that long.

Very well played Bill W!

Well Bill if I am going to shoot some camp meat buck and get it hauled out on horses I guess it would be a short time. But that's not what I am after.

Yeah, Bill...instead of skipping to Plan B, some foolish people just prefer to haul a camp meat buck all the way out on their backs.

All this banter is great and fun but we all know the truth.

Real men hunt elk. Deer is like getting a side order of fries at Burger King. It seems right in the moment but all a guy really wants is the burger.

Anyway.

Carry on with your back country high mountain tough talk.  I'll check back later see who won.

What’s wrong with camp meat bucks? Still no pictures.  Y’all could be shooting dink 3 points and toasting over their corpses with fine scotch and Cuban cigars for all we know.  If this is such a honey hole, let’s see some pics. Lots of photo editing software to edit out backgrounds if you fellas feel like you don’t want the hunt wa masses up there. I’ll be honest tho, REI Seattle probably doesn’t have enough crampons in stock to get all of us up there.
