Then you jump the herd... lets see, are you going to walk slowly after them or are you going to run and stay on top of their @$$ until you can get a shot?

Or maybe just walk over and start skinning out your animal. :dunno:

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

If your hunting the thick stuff you can jump them before you see them. I don't know about you but I'm not going to shoot before I see them. Even if you can see them you have to make sure they have atleast 3 points on one side.

Listening to some of the "hunters" on here you would be better off rolling yourself in salt and alfalfa, sit in your truck and wait for them to smell and come to you.

300 WinMag?          Get it correct, (sp too)  It is: loincloth, moccasins, & .22 Mag from front seat of truck

Grudens I think are the all around best in the green color for hunting Wet side elk.  Then throw on the hunter orange.  Bring a roll of green duck tape for when you tangle with the black berries.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I use the Cabelas MT 50. It's very durable lightweight and packable, silent rain gear. I love the stuff. All of our hunting is from Skamania west as far as the coast range.

there is no better gear than RIVERS WEST, its silent and 100% water proof and has a great camo pattern, now the getn wet part the dryer you stay the more comfortable you are and that equals paying more attention because you aint soakin ass wet which is a guarantee when you hunt the westside, and we all know a bit about that and if you think real hard about it when your wet cold and miserable you dont hunt as hard sure you will tough it out because thats what we do, BUT WHY ? i gave up on wet and i only need my rivers west, i never have to worry about extra clothes except t shirts and long johns


I checked out the rivers west gear and the quality seems top notch.  My only question is about the magnetic pockets.  Do you have problems with the magnet affecting your gps (if you use one)?  I ask because my buddy has magnetic pockets and he is blaming the magnetic pockets on throwing off his gps tracking and compass.
