Gosh.. makes me all giddy and excited.  Dad was drawn this year for wenaha west and my grandpa got one last year up there.  A tag in camp two years in a row is pretty exciting!  maybe Im up next year.  Great pics and story fly guide.

There is nothing finer than a big bull tag in an elk camp, in the Blue Mountains.  Also I talked to every spike hunter I saw and asked them if they had seen any big bulls, most of them had seen at least one.  Also I found out that camp whiskey helps keep the interest..   You guys have a great time.

YELP. have hunted the wenaha all my life....Lots of big bulls up there not many spikes or even that many cows.  Spent 10 hunting days up there last year with Grandpa and the gang saw one cow..1 COW IN TEN DAYS!!

Great story; thanks for posting the story and pictures.  I just spent 14 days backpack hunting in the wilderness, half of it alone.  Hunted some big bulls, but no shooting.  Hunting off your back and alone is the most challenging and rewarding.  You two help make a good name for hunters by doing it right.

Which wilderness?  I go into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness every year.  Some tough and difficult hunting is to be had there that is for sure.  But it is awsome and well worth it.
