came across two guys (father & son) in an old ford taurus first weekend of elk in 154.  they were up off blacksnake looking for the watershed.  the old man (80) had drawn a WS tag, but they couldn't find the watershed!  said he only put in to keep his points...  earlier that day they had been up klicker mountain and got kicked off with directions to the fence up off BS.  there was 8 inches of wet, muddy snow and pretty decent ruts just above where they stopped.  we told them they had traveled as far as the taurus would go and pointed them in the direction to the lower edge of the WS.  we were over that direction a bit later and saw a herd of 75 or so with 4 bulls.  one good one was bugling while two raghorns were sparring.  500 yards off the road.  by the looks of them, either or both would have had a heart attack down there!

To really make a hunting rig you need lots of stickers--MossyOak, Born2Hunt, the Browning symbol, Scent-Lock, Real Tree, etc.  During late buck it looked like NASCAR in the woods. :rolleyes:

Rasbo's post reminded me of when I took my 65 Falcon Futura up in Winston, back in '95 for archery deer.  Drove in through Lander's creek, came out down by Castle Rock, a long trek with that small gas tank and a built 289!  I was very lost that day.  I can't remember why I wasn't driving a truck or jeep that day....

1972 Rally Nova was my everything rig in college until I was given a 1970 chevy short box truck that had 3 complete motors...in pieces in the bed.   A bit of finagling later, a whole tube of silicon gasket maker and RE-USING head gaskets and BEARINGS mixing and matching from all 3 until i had the right clearances....I had a running truck. 

The Nova brought out a few elk and deer from the Manastash and the Colockum.

Before college i had a 1954 Willys truck with a 283 in it...STILL  :bash: that i SOLD that.
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

Whatta ya mean I can't have one of each?

What we have here is...Washington Department of NO Fish and WATCHABLE Wildlife.
 
WDFW is going farther and farther backwards....we need FISH AND GAME back!
