Alpine Lakes High Buck Hunt?????

[Snowman]

I'll  be up there this year and yes it is for the dedicated and there are some monsters up there. Alot of hunts are suicide mission that's the fun of it, you go where the animals are high, low and inbetween. It's some of the most rugged and steep country we have to offer here. I think everyone under estimates the blacktails up around here. Just because you don't see them that doesn't mean that they are not there. I have seen quiet a few, but like most it didn't seem worth all the trouble. But now that I've been seeing some real brutes the last few years from a distance, I'm ready for the suicide mission. I've always been a meat hunter, but have two and maybe three people with tags this year in my house, I'm going for broke. Maybe with some luck and gods blessing I just may succeed.

All this talk of vandalized cars has me worried. Is this primarily from West side access points or have you guys had problems when going in from the East side as well?

Problems on the west seem to be worse or as bad as eastside. IMO if you are going to be hiking for a few days don't leave your rig there, have some one drop you off and pick you up.

Yeah hopfully the latter of the two. But will enjoy myself even if I don't bag one. Just the experience of it is awesome. Been packing for bears for a few years now.
