Better explained, camp is actually located just off the left of that tip lid on the green pack, where the tree stand bars appear to come out of the pack! Those mountains were all white when we left 5 days later!! (with no bull)

By the way, those stands went up overlooking this trail...

And this is looking from a dry waterhole(never seen it dry before that day) across a meadow to the treestand...

What part of the valley do you elk hunt Mountainwalker? I have hunted the southern bitterroot for 9 years. Killed a few bulls in there the last 6. This was up the W. Fork last fall...

Horn,

I guess I've never given this much thought, being in WA and all, but can you hunt the archery season and then the rifle season if not successful in archery with the general combo tag?  I love that area, hunted a couple times east of Wisdom.  Rifle only though.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

You can... I give it maybe 5 years though. THe hunting pressure is getting crazy, plus now that compound guys can shoot over 100 yards accurrately, bowhunting isn't what it once was.. time will tell.

Mountainman, I used to work for Chris O'Brien, of Lightning Creek Outfitters, he used to run that whole Warm Springs, Maynard, Porcupine, Sheepshead country. Do you know if he's still in there?? This fall I drove by the Warm Springs campground and there were about 5 guys sitting on the ground and about 12 mules and horses packed up ready to go... it was the Saturday before opening... did you go in on that deal?

Great country...thats for sure.

Doug, yeah...good chance if you draw we will hit that country behind me and Chris there. My love handles wont be as prominent this fall though (heck, they aren't that prominent right now!)

Sounds like a deal.  I've got about 50 pounds to drop realistically before then.  That would be one hell of an incentive.

Yep...cool country man...

Doug, you've seen this before, but just a sampling of what can be had up in that country...


That guy on the left will do fine.....
