My pics from over the years

My dad's and I first trip to the Pasayten was 2025 High Buck... Beautiful country... We put on about 56 miles at 4 trail heads... Not bad for the old man just turned 73...

Day 2 was our biggest day hitting Buckskin... 3 Deer, a doe and twin fawn ran right to us on the trail on the way in... Grouse were friendly and abundant around here... You could get within a yard before they would move off... Don't know who the note was for on the flagging tape but maybe somebody does? lol Ran into several hunters and backpackers... Saw some more deer on the way out but couldn't tell if they were shooters in the distance and fading light...

Camp for high buck... We moved once to hit other trails... It was quite the experience... Saw these deer right next to the trail eating fire weed... I know there's way better feed around...

2025 Muzzy deer and elk in Cowichie... There's elk in the some of these picks... They're cell phone pics I don't have a phone scope for the spotter... Got there about half way through muzzy deer...

Got into an area I usually hit for elk and it didn't disappoint... Rubs everywhere, trails, usual... Saw quite a few elk in here... Jumped a spike at 20 yards on opening day... Cow called, he stopped about 70 yards with a cluster of small trees blocking his chest then the cow down hill of me, 10 yards in the timber barked and the forest exploded in the sounds of hoofs and I can feel the ground rumble... Walked into the middle of a large herd... Never got shot at the spike and only saw glimpses of a bunch of elk... I will be back here next year unless I can get into Nasty Creek...

Muzzy deer... Saw a lot of deer this year... Saw these down in the timber from the road while cruising... I hit my bleat and they came right in...

This is Betty... Betty likes to eat pine cones from your hand and will then lick the salt off you... If you see Betty smile and wave... She also likes cashews... I think little Betty didn't make it... I got several pics of a big cat a few miles from here and ran into Betty a few days later and little Betty was now where to be seen... Betty looks like a benchleg to me... That's the cool part about Cowichie is all types of habitats hold deer cause it has blacktail, benchlegs, and mule deer... Been hunting here since I was 11, I love this area.

Found two hair ties in two of my spots... I shot an elk from one and a deer from one... Wondering if she has too!    Yet to run into her... Dads trail cam set up is a big tree so had to use a bungee and a stick to tighten... The fungi? Is that chicken of the woods? Only place I found it there...
