I'd be interested in doing this! One question though.. I saw on the web site that pack in and out including you is $760 not $690. Were you able to swing a deal?

if this is something you want to do regular, take a look at Kifaru tents and stoves,
http://www.kifaru.net/TIPI2009.html can get pretty light tents/stove packages, then all you gotta worry about is getting the animal out.

Chinook Pass Outfitters $655 pack in and you walk in.  $760 pack in and you ride in.  You furnish the camp.  2 person minimum, 2 horses per person.

Go light and hike crow basin 4 miles max even two trips out wouldn't be bad

The key was, I wanted a tent with a wood stove.  My wood stove is about 70 lbs.  The tent I'm planning on getting runs about 70 lbs.  Suspect the rest of the gear would be about 70 lbs as well.  That would be 3 trips in with 70 on my back, 3 trips out, and if I get an elk...sorry ran out of fingers.  If I get an elk, which I plan on doing the fee to pack out is roughly the same.  So pack in and out seems like a deal.

How long are you staying in there?
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Going to try for 2 weeks.  Might only do 10 days and take a week for late season.  That one will be close enough to roads to drive in though.

We may be there but not with a tent and a stove; small two and three man tents on our back.  Buy good rain gear that you can towel dry and you should be good to go.

If I had the funds I would have a Kifaru Sawtooth with medium stove.  You would only need to make one trip with that tent/stove but it will run you approximately $1500 with liner and mosquito netting.

That's less than three years packed in and it will last a lot longer than that.

Good point.  I have had camp on the back for the last 5 years so I am no stranger.  I would upgrade to that before being packed in; less complications all around.

id definitely be interested if i drew a bull tag over there. i am hunting west side again this year as its only my 2nd year of archery hunting so im trying to get my skills a bit more honed before dropping big dollars and 9+ points on a big bull tag and trip.

I sent you a personal message.  I do have an any bull tag for archery and would love to get into the back country some how.  I can do it on foot but dealing with meat packing and temps could be a problem without mules or horses.

I would be interested in doing this as well.  What are are you planning on hunting and what are your dates?

Shoot me a PM if you haven't found someone to fill your spot!

FYI, he drew a cow tag for a different unit so I think his plans changed.

Yeah, I drew Colockum Cow tag.  I'll probably be back up in Little Naches Wilderness next year, unless I draw bumping bull or cow.  I'll put in for Peaches bull as second choice, only because I've seen more bulls in Bumping.

I'll probably hunt Cowiche for late season, unless what everyone says about Colockum is accurate...nearly a sure thing.
