i applied for the wenaha east archery tag this year and had i drawn it im pretty certain that i would have done a backpack hunt in there, just couldnt justify spending a grand to have someone else do my labor of love for me. fact of the matter is that if you get a bull down there is no other option than to get the meat back without spoilage. i have never hunted there but hunt some really steep country in idaho and wouldnt hesitate to do it there. if i had the tag with another hunter like you do then i would possibly reconsider because of the fact that you will be spending so much time packing one bull let alone two. watch the videos two weeks in purgatory and return to purgatory made by on foot films, they hunt that country but on the oregon side bivy style and manage to get their meat out. :dunno:

You need the Northwest Forest parking pass to park at some of our trailheads.  That is issued through the forest service at $30 for a year or $5/day.  These passes are monitored closely and you will get a citation if illegally parked.  If you can find a place to park close that is safe no permit is required.  My base camp at Goose Corral is pretty close to Teepee and no permit is reguired there.

Shawn Ryan referring to Slim Stucker must be a few years older than me to have been in there at 14 as Slim has not been there for close to 40 years.

Heres a pic of Dave packing out a bull from a hole that I wouldnt want to carry one out on my back from. Its also a pretty dang sketchy trail to ride a horse on that isn't a true mt horse. I prefer to walk rather than ride in those spots but after packing that bull down to the trail I was happy to sit in the saddle. This was an 08 archery bull from the east. nwhunter

page 8 has some good advise. Also those are great pics. Bottem line is do you have the money?
If i had extra money im sure i may pay for a drop camp, life just doesnt allow it right now.
i could get you all the way around right now in my 4 runner. You do have a dream tag dont waste it,i agree you may never get it again. Only you know what you can do or can afford.
On both sides there is great advice. The weather could be an issue as stated before. just be prepaired.

I'm pretty happy to ride, it sure does my heart good to watch my mules do the work. At least we were on the trail.  One trip brings out all the meat, cape, antlers and hunters. By the time the guys connect on a big bull they are not wanting to spend much time beating themselves up packing meat for a couple days.  In this one day Scott left camp early to work on the meat, the hunter rode out with me, we did a little switch and went in on another trail to meet Scott and pack the meat.  All done by 4pm.

Goose Corral. My uncle was Goose. Great country that I've never been into. Good luck. mtncook sounds like the man to hook up with.

I always though our vehicle pass trumped a fs pass and that was for people who didn't hunt or fish but want to bird watch or something. When did they change that?
