Glacier Peak Wilderness High Buck

There's still a few remote pockets that produce nice bucks in the GPW.

Attached is the rack from one backpacked out opening day of the general season hunt in 2007.

Welcome aboard.
I hope we can find a few more like that this year scouting

I think I know where I might be headed the second week of September.

Nice Filson!

JPhelps, together, I'm super confident we will (grin). We can dispense with hope. I KNOW we can find a few like it!

It's a big wilderness with good populations of big game in it. I realize that trophy bucks are rare. At the risk of repeating myself, THEY ARE VERY RARE!

It requires an inordinate amount of dedication, scouting time, effort to understand a particular bucks habits and understand its travel patterns to have a modicum of a chance at harvesting one. Then, the season is short too. It's a challenge.

That's why we hunt. It's challenging and the rewards are...sublime.

Enjoy!

Hey NW, welcome to the site, looks like some pretty good bucks.
 
 I would offer a piece of advise though, take it or leave it.

 If you don't want a ton of guys in your spot, don't post the pics of scenery on here. I would bet there have already been guys who have tried to figure out where you took that picture from.
 There are a lot of guys who do there scouting on the forums, it really sucks, but it happens.

I think I found the rock that is behind them in the first picture using google earth.  Looks like a new place to try out next year.  GPW here I come...

You can make fun if you want, I've seen it happen here and there are guys on this site that have been screwed and won't post a pic at all.

 Good areas without a ton of guys are hard to come by.

Or you could figure it out by looking at the name on the picture....

I guarantee that I could move back down there and hunt an area that is flat-out not hunted right now, next year.  In either the GPW or the Pasayten. 

 Vek it's better if you just stay up there in Alaska and hunt the real animals. Besides we like your pics.

It's hard to tell because the picture is so small, but there are five legal bucks circled in this picture.  Three of them were nice, and two of them were nice large bruisers.  Picture isn't the best because this is before I had a dslr with nice lenses.  Taken during the high hunt several years ago.  I have yet to see anybody in this drainage either during the high hunt or outside the deer seasons.  Pretty fun place to get to.

looks like a p[retty cool spot you got there.  Gorgeous country and even better with all those bucks in there.

Thing is.. Most all of us have walked right by good/great bucks and never known they were there.
