Still at home >:(  Might be able to head out tomorrow, we'll see.  Wrapping up a few items from work and just plain not as far along as I should have been with gear.  I will take my time and not burn my self out.  Better that than wrapped around a tree somewhere on the road. 

Ben, how was that bike ride?

Good luck to all in the morning. :hello:
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

We didn't ride yesterday. It was raining and didn't take the bikes. I did check out some new areas and walked into an area next to the Park. Did a little bugling while I was in there but didn't hear any elk. BTW, I was surprised to see no one out, being it was the day before the opener.

Will finally be hitting the road at 3:30  :yike:- decided to see the six year old to her first day in 1st grade.... and finish loading all my @%$%!ing gear :bash:

Lunch, shave, and shower and I'll be just in time for rush hour :bash: :bash: 

Will be chasing Rosies until the end of early season.  Hopefully with some luck.

May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Good luck! Maybe I'll see you out scouting.

Talked to Cylvertip yesterday, he came out to Olympia for a birthday party and his truck broke down. Good thing there and not in the hills out hunting, he hoped to get back out. BTW, 5 more days until my hunt. :IBCOOL:

I went out scouting lastnight. Two campers parked where I planed to bike in and scout. Went in about 4 1/2 miles, opened up in an area that I could see and glass. Found old sign. I sat for about 45 min.s glassing and calling. No answers no elk. It was dark when we got back to the gate and talked to the hunters at the campers. They haven't heard any bugles but seen some bulls, they said the rut is just getting heated up.

I quit counting after 65 head. There were at least 10 more. Always has to be someone to bust balls here. :chuckle:
you have no idea how true that is.

Made it back late Saturday night.  Shared what info I could With PA Ben and met WA Muley while in forks last week.  Not a real good season.  First in a very long time that i did not hear any calls  :bash: :bash: :bash: - other than hunters.  Saw maybe 20 elk total, with maybe two bulls .  I hunted Sol Duc, Dickey, and Clear Water, then headed for Ryderwood for Friday and Saturday.  Couldn't even get them to talk down there. 

Guess I'll get to chase em in the late season.

Note, Rayonier Timber changed a bunch of their policies on camping and entry, so if your going to hunt up there, better check.  Permits required to camp, and there is a waiting period to get the permit.  Goodman side may not even be able to get permits.

Just go a Text from PA BEN..... could be a critter down :IBCOOL:
May that for which I prepare never come to pass.

Yeah, it's over. No tag soup this year. With all the scouting I've done and the reports from other hunters I took a small bull. Big body and I called him in. Story and pictures later just got home.

Way to go!   

I know we were both looking for the big one, but it just wasn't adding up for it to happen.  I know I didn't see a lot of elk, and there are a bunch there, but I was trying to find the hole in the wall spots that a big boy might hold up in.  I know there are guys up there that take big bulls with regularity, but I sure can't figure them out.  Lots of access for folks with gate keys, and for those that don't care pay attention to signs/ rules.......  Puts a hurt on letting em be able to grow. 

Sorry, had to vent a bit of the frustration. 

Again, good job "Ben"... How was the pack out?  Need the icey-hot on after toting that porker out???
