Bumping unit outfitter?

[Snowman]

Yeah I just have the problem remembering how to tie *censored*. Know the knots just got C.R.S. Syndrome when it comes time to much sh!! on the brains. I'm stooked about going first year I'll have my new horse out.

bitchin'.  there are some times i do love having a horse.. and sometimes its a big pain in the ass. guess the worst thing aobut it is, you always gotta go back to your horse instead of just hunting your way back to camp

[Snowman]

That's why I'm riding him in and he gets to chill around camp. Hoping he ain't to bad we have to pull him away from the wifes horse here in the next week or so, he's getting to herd bound to the wife's mayer. He's a gelding. He should do just fine. Might just have the wife and a friend help me pack in then take them back and then come back and get me.

I've only seen the Rugged Class brochures at Whistlin' Dicks.  Some pretty impressive bulls, but mucho expensive if you kill a real monster.

Does anyone know if that's Gene Morgan's old outfit?  I think they were called Grizzly Morgan Outfitters.

I had Chinook Pass Outfitters take us in on a drop camp last year for my Peaches permit. They did what they said they would do and were there when they said they would be. They did send a rider in to check on us half way through our hunt. The stock was safe and in good condition, Paul and Larry were obvious professionals, they took good care of our meat and I was well satisfied that I got our money's worth.

I had a friend use them also for drop camp and all worked out well. Just dropped off at designated area and picked up in a week. Seemed cheap to me, under $500 for a bunch of dudes and equipment 2 ways.

I'm a long-time friend of Jerry and Robin at Rugged Class.  Very experienced and great guys.  Send me a PM and we can talk more in detail.  I grew up hunting the whole Bumping/Bethel Ridge area as well.

Thanks guys for the info, but when it came down to crunch time on my apps I went blues first 3 choices then peaches 4th.

[Skyvalhunter]

Sorry but I am going to draw Peaches and have Mike show me where the big boys hang out at. If I don't draw Peaches I guess I will draw some of my Master Hunter choices

[Opportunist]

 Skyvalhunter, Good luck in the draws. I've drawn peaches twice, it's a kick in the ass.

I haven't been packed in by chinook outfitters but my dad is Larry who twispriver mentioned and they are both good packers who now their stuff. Dad helped Paul last fall and plans to be there again this year I guess. Just don't call their mules horses and let them do their thing and it all works out. nwhunter

I agree with you they are some fantastic folks to hunt with and just hang out with, Robin is now the owner of Squaw Rock Resort now from what I gather and is really cleaning up the place !!

Good folks !!

You don't need an outfitter or need to get back in to see bull elk in those areas , it would be nice though. I only hunt a mile in and had a bull tag 2006 and with my marginal calling skills, I called in 5 or 6 bulls on various days. First time being that close and in those situations so needless to say I didn't close the deal. I saw some very quality bulls with the smallest called in being a small 5x5, while the biggest was a huge 6x6 with mass. I hiked in 8 miles scouting last year and found very little sign, so I went back to my old digs closer in. They are in pockets and smart. Once I called them in and they didn't see another bull, even if I didn't spook or get winded, I didn't call them in again. Never saw the same bull twice. The next time I draw I will be very excited.
