tucannon Quality tag.
« on: June 29, 2010, 11:12:08 AM »
we must be on a roll!! I drew the Wenaha East in 2008 and my hunting partner just drew the Tucannon tag for this year. Familiar with the ruggedness of the area, just not the Tucannon, other than what I've seen from the road. Looked at past posting, and I know pretty much where they hide after hunting the Wenaha, but more or less looking for trail head suggestions or past tag holders information if anyone is willing. Godman has been suggested and we will look into that, but there has to be some other accesses? ;)

The PM I got from you was blank. Good to hear about your success in 08. Would love to see the picture and hear how the tree fell on it. I am excited about my wenaha hunt. Good luck this year with your tag.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Great bull and awesome pics. I am even more pumped about the hunt now. What map would you guys recommend picking up?  Having a hard time finding a good one online.

Country is steep. When I knocked him down, he rolled into the timber, hit a tree about 8" dia., broke it off and took it with him down the hill till it hung up on two trees, thus hanging my bull by the rack, keeping it from falling another 100 yrds to the "complete" bottom. We only had a vertical assent of 1000 ft on my gps up a rock cliff ridge with about 1/2" of wet snow on it from the night before. Other than that, cake walk.  about maps? use Google Earth and Call Dave Waldron, he will drop camp you and he does the best job of any packer I've ever seen.

Thanks Rick for the compliment, received your E-mail tonight about Scott's hunt.  We can work something for him.

Here is one of Rick's pictures.  The hunters really made it easy for me as they had packed the bull up that steep ridge right to the trail.
