Got the Peaches Ridge tag!

[crazyantler]

Well my brother and I both have the peaches rifle tag so consider two more toads hanging in camp.  We have seen plenty in there that will eventually pass to the east once we are done with them.

Update: my hunting buddy and I will be out scouting this weekend and he is warning me that he won't last more than a couple days of hunting during the season due to his bad knees.  And even if we get one during that time it looks like I'll be the one packing meat out.  Yikes.

I'll try to provide a scouting report when we get back.

Get you buddy some walking sticks and alieve. He can quit hurting after huntings done.

I promised a scouting report, right?  Ok, well here it is.  We headed up the mountain in the afternoon on Saturday when buddy's air pressure sensor goes off so we stopped and opened the door and could hear air wooshing out of the quickly flattening tire.  Knowing we were nowhere close to a flat repair facility at a time when they were all closing anyway we continued up the mountain after changing the flat and wouldn't you know it...the sensor goes off again and we get out to hear the air wooshing out of a second flat tire!!

So here is my scouting report.  We spent the rest of the evening on the phone with AAA and various towing outfits trying to find one that would come and haul us off the mountain.  After spending the night in the tent we had to pay out of pocket for the first towing outfit to take us off the mountain down to the highway and then we had to call a second towing outfit to tow us to a repair facitlity where buddy ends up buying new tires.

Hell of a scouting weekend!  I hope the season goes better than this!

Ouch! That does not sound fun! Sorry you guys had a rough outting!

Any tow up there is going to cost you lots of $$$$, especially one from Ellensburg!  You have to think that maybe it is worth limping it down to the highway and ruining one rim.  Cost of the wheel is less than a tow up into the woods. 

I also drew a Peaches Archery Bull tag.  I will help you haul an animal out if you need it.  PM me and I will give you some contact info.

We were 10 miles in on a bumpy/rocky road and in my buddy's truck.  I wasn't going to suggest that.

Very kind offer, thanks.  I don't carry a cell phone so I think I'm just going to have to be on my own on this one.  I'll take as many meat packing trips as necessary and worry about the recovery to my body the next day (um, the next few days).  I won't be more than a couple of miles from a road so if I get one I should be ok.

A few years back I ripped a knuckle off my rig in 329 . The tow from D&D was six hundred bucks back to eburg , all by the hour and the guy wasn't in a hurry if you know what I mean . We did shoot a buck though while he was messing with his tire chains.

Ouch!  I guess $180 for that first tow doesn't seem so bad now.

Did he get 10ply that is all I put on any of my rigs.

Fortunately, the hunt went way better than the scouting trip.  WAY better!  Opening day big bull down!

I've turned the kitchen into a meat processing center.  Gotta get back to it...
