Well, I'm off to Lick Creek this Saturday for my bull hunt. I am staying at the Wenatchee Guard Station cabin if anyone is in the area stop by and say hi. I got to thinking of how much time/preparation/costs have gone into this special hunt. It has cost me, if anyone doubts how much us hunters bring to the community take a look at this:

5000 miles driven
$875 gas
$400 hotel
$4000 misc truck repairs, some needed but mostly don't want my truck breaking down in the blues
$1000 new rifle
$500 ammo/reloading supplies
$1000 new hunting gear
$1500 mount assuming I take a trophy and it's not a given
$400 cabin rental
Two weeks vacation burn
85 hours driving
$300 food

I am sure these numbers will go up a bit by the time my hunt is over and I know I'm missing some.

Wish me luck.
Caretaker

best of luck! may we both tag monsters! then I can send mine back with you and save me a drive

No problem on that, should have plenty of room. Let me know. Funny, I claimed a corner of our dining room two weeks ago and started a pile of gear so as to not to miss anything at the last minute. Wife hates me now but hey, I have priorities!

Mine did too until I got here on her first buck and now I think I'm good

Lick Creek can be a great place to see animals! Love it there. I hope to get a chance to hunt there soon. Best of luck to you.

could be worse, my buddy has a shed tag, so we have to add in physical therapy and a pschycologist.

Good luck to you, I've seen some dandy bulls there. If I get a chance I'll stop by.

Good Luck on your hunt! Wish I could draw that tag someday......

Good luck to you, kill a monster

KNOPHISH · « **Reply #14 on:** October 20, 2010, 07:20:07 AM »

Do you cut your own game? gonna be a big butcher bill too. Cost of bagging the bull of a lifetime? Priceless. Good luck man.

Lightning_Rider · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2010, 09:08:12 AM »

good luck, that is an awesome tag

bigpaw 77 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2010, 01:10:05 PM »

Good luck, I seen some dandy bulls in there during the muzzy cow hunt.

Caretaker · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2010, 08:40:40 PM »

Do my own butchering but I do need to buy some bags, about $65 will do me for the season.

Hey, if you don't mind sharing. How many points did you have to draw ?

Caretaker · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2010, 10:38:20 PM »

I see you found your truck from your scouting trip.Them dodges never stay where you leave them.

tntklundt · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2010, 06:32:08 PM »

Get anything?

bigpaw 77 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 08, 2010, 07:41:37 PM »

Yeah did you get anything? I spend a lot of time in that unit and have been dying to know how your trip went and what you got.

WALLEYERICK · « **Reply #25 on:** November 09, 2010, 03:20:02 PM »

hey CARETAKER!!!!!! Pictures? where the hell are you? The bulls get you. I got a spike in LIck this year from a heard of 60 with 5 big bulls in it and one that was the biggest bull I have seen down there all summer. if he wasn't close to 400 I don't know what is (which is probably true).

Todd_ID · « **Reply #26 on:** November 10, 2010, 08:14:35 AM »

He's probably still trying to pack one out of the bottom of Charley Fork.

LMAO! Certainly not a spot I'd want to pack a big bull out alone.

400out · « **Reply #28 on:** November 10, 2010, 02:14:41 PM »

I talked to him on the phone the other day and he did tag out!

He was doing some stuff around the house and had his pictures on someone elses cam so he would post when he got them! Come on Larry hurry up

Been out the last three weeks on my Lick Creek hunt, then Bob33 and I went on a outfitter hunt sound of Joseph Oregon, took my son out to unit 245 yesterday so I just got back. I need to upload some pics but I need to make them smaller so I can upload them. Got a nice 5x6 on the last day of my hunt. Passed up on some larger bulls and didn't want to go home empty. Have lots of stories to tell.
