Ebay highest cost item WA hunt

[WAcoueshunter]

....i love the scouting, time spent in the woods alone, and the CHALLENGE anyone else feel the same?

No question...but if you lived in Maryland (or anywhere else in whitetailville), the opportunity to go on a weeklong muley vacation for $3500 (tag included) with the potential of a big buck probably sounds pretty good.  And assuming those pics are real WA bucks, those guys are doing VERY well. 

That elk is ridiculous.  That third must be 30"!  Wonder if that's really a WA bull.

Craig, I wouldn't worry about the turkeys up there.  If they have land to hunt north of Spokane, you'll have a great time.  More turkeys than robins up there (seriously, I bet it's close!).  The problem for most is access, and presumably they've got plenty of access.

He lives in elk/chattaroy and his name is Joe. put it this way they use tons of feed, mule deer too

Fair chase

here let me pay you 3 grand to show me a mule deer to shoot? im sure that they are a awesome guide service but it is just now my style, i love the scouting, time spent in the woods alone, and the CHALLENGE anyone else feel the same?

Yep. Then again I'm just a plain poor low budget guy.   I met a group of men, in their 50's being guided on a hike in the Brooks Range. Their guide?  Amber, 'bout 25-27. (real nice woman) I kept my laughter to my self. Hey if got the $$ to spend on a guide it's your business. Now if I were going overseas to hunt, sure. Get me a guide! Or where required by law yeah.

But pay someone to lead me through the woods to do what I've done before?? naww.

I may be new to deer hunting, but I've spent to much time walking through the woods, mountains & jungles with and without firearms to pay someone to lead me.

If I am not mistaken, most mule deer in Washington do not start rutting until November? Is that not the reason for moving the General Buck Season earlier in the month about ten years ago?

Holy Crap!!!! Go to their website and look at the elk photos, it is caption #3. If that think if from up there I am booking a hunt!!!

That guy in the photo looks really familiar and I'm pretty sure i've seen that elk before.  As a matter of fact I am pretty confident I go to school with that guy here at WSU and he is in my class.  If it is him then that elk was not shot with that outfitter, but I could be wrong, I will find out tomorrow when I have class with the guy and show him the picture, if it is him it made the WA muzzeloader record books, I think #3, but again could be wrong.  Will know tomorrow.

WE HAD OPPORTUNITYS AT DEER THAT WE ESTIMATED OVER 35-36'' LAST SEASON !


Man that is amazing. Might wanna roll up your pants and wear rubber boots wwhen your around these guys so that you dont get any of that stuff on ya.

[MikeWalking]

Oh I don't know...I've seen plenty of Deer over 35 inches tall.  even had one hanging out next to my job site on Lake Washington in Renton Saturday night. (she came up the train tracks 20 minutes after the +size yote)...or is he not talking about height

[rosscrazyelk]

 There is no way the deer are rutting then. I see them start getting curious around the end of elk season. Or maybe the stuff they are feeding them has screwed up their systems.

[SHANE(WA)]

He hunts the Kettle crest, he does get some big ones, I have seen them at the taxidermist shop that they are brought into. Good guy and knowledgable of the area,they take some real big whities every year, but if you are into bait hunting thats what it all is.

[Ridgerunner]

He baits his mule deer or just whitetails?

[Craig]

How do you know he uses bait?

[E-Town Hunter]

If you look at all their trail cam pics, there are piles of feed and salt lick blocks in all of them.
