wenaha east tag

I wish I took a lot more pictures than I did. I still go back and look at the pictures and relive my hunt. After the hunt is over, it's all you got till next time. I'm sure it seems silly that I post the same pics over and over all the time, but there's something about that country that gets me and I like seeing it over and over.
With that said....

Thats why you should bring a buddy with a camera along.

I think we had 3.  Too much time looking for some very elusive deer and no time spent taking pics. The pics that were taken by my chief guide and photographer were worth it though.

When I finally draw my permit you are invited. 

 Just let me know when to be at the trail head.

count on it.

A buddy and I drove to Misery yesterday to see what we could see.  The road from Clearwater to Diamond was open. 

Here're a couple pictures from the area.

Looks like a comfortable camp.   Would look better with a bull hanging though.

I couldn't help but notice the big chopping block placed strategically right in front of the door....
 
So...is that some sort of "sobriety test" you have to pass to get to your bunk, or just an obstacle course so you can get a 2 minute head start on the rest of the camp on opening morning...?

Nice camp. THats one of the suprises for guys who havent hunted the wenaha before and show up for their season with a campsite in mind and to their suprise every good campsite with water nearby is taken. Most spots will have a walltent on it by mid Sept!nwhunter

definitely a camp like that is awesome to come back to after a long day hunting!!! cant wait to experience it 7 long weeks away!!!!

Alot of great advise. I can't believe the amount of trees that have grew there since my dad was there in the late 70's looking at his pictures there was lots of open country now it looks like the watershed.
dhorn I hope you get a nice elk out of there!!!!

I'll bet a dollar that place doesn't look like that the next time someone is able to get in there to see it.  Just heard from the guy who set the camp up that he got it out through choking smoke and that helicopters, smoke jumpers and water bombers were buzzing all over as he was heading out.  Fire must have gotten either out of control or was threatening to blow up into a monster with the hot and dry weather coming the next 10 days.

Must be a new fire I don't see anything on the NICC report and NWCC report. I hope they get it before it get out of control!!!

That fire has been burning for more  than 2 weeks,   yesterday Sunday it blew up with the low humidity etc.

Dropped tanker load of retardent and multiple chopper water drops.. FS says unsafe for ground crews as there is no Safety Zone..    Why did they not do a chopper drop when it was small?
