Big Game Hunting > Backcountry Hunting
Where they at?!

There had to have been at least 40 trucks at our trailhead. As my friend said, "go to where it starts to feel stupid, then go past that." The crowds will thin out.

False. Not true.
People will spend the off season believing this idea, pour over maps, look at Google Earth, and then show up to some far flung location that they think no one in their right mind will be...only to find other new arrivals with the exact same idea, or a crew of guys that have been committed to it for many years.
I get the frustration, but going "past that" to find a hunting spot with no other hunters in a state with 7.6 million people is a pipe dream.

I'm only speaking to my experience the last two years. I've
never gotten away from people entirely, but it certainly thinned out once I got far enough back and off trail.

Yeah I don't believe any of the trailheads are a secret. You should tell the NFS to quit marking them! :chuckle: I believe if you can go far enough you can get away. It might require horses but it can be done.

I think this is everywhere. I packed in on horses 22 miles into the Frank church. Took off from a not very popular trailhead, took a whole bunch of turns onto more and more remote trails. Day 3 a few guys rode by our camp lol
