High Buck Hunts
« on: February 04, 2012, 09:54:12 PM »
I was thinking about trying to go on a high buck hunt..  What are some good areas.  And was wondering how many people do the high buck hunt.  And if they have had any good luck.

Thanks

If you take a minute and use the search function on here, you'll find enough info to plan a lifetime of high hunts. With that said, the guys that have the good areas have worked hard for them and typically won't share them on the WWW for all the world to see. Finding those good spots is half the fun of those hunts. Expect an absolutely unreal camping trip in some of the most incredible country on the planet and you might see a few deer and you likely won't be alone.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Well said jackelope. There all "good" if by good you mean the opportunity to get out and test you determination in the back country and have a chance at a respectable or maybe better deer and see some of the best country Wa has to offer.  Spend your summer scouting and good luck!

Send a pm to Utah, or Jake_wicken.  They should be able to point you in the right direction.

I haven't made a post on this site since 2009 but since I happened across a post mentioning my name I figured I better chime in.

I'm not really sure what miles means by his comment. He sent me a private message a while back asking for information about hunting the high country in washinton. He said he was writing an article. Since I don't know who he is or how he knows me I did not give him any information. I asked how he knows me but he did not respond. I assume that he was just sending out random PM's to people in hopes of gaining information about the high hunt.

But to respond to the original poster of this thread. Any infomation gained about hunting the wilderness areas is very hard earned. People with experience hunting the high hunt are generally going to be very tight lipped. I would suggest as others have said, search this forum using the search tool there is a lot of good information. Get a really good pair of boots, binos, and light weight backpacking gear and start scouting in July.

I got so busy that I forgot to write that article...

Jake - A person with such a wealth of knowledge on the high hunt, and the only advice you can give is get a pair of boots, some binos, and get up there in July?  Surely you can do better than that.

Jake does not know Miles, and Miles contacted Jake claiming that he wanted to write an article about hunting the high country.  Miles wanted Jake to give him some information on the high hunt.  Jake responded with a haha.  Miles then responded with somthing like "jokes on me... dont you hunt high hunt?"  Jake then asked miles how he knew him or how he was directed to him since as said above Jake had never posted about high hunt.  Miles never responded.

I am Jakes college roommate and good friend.  We have been doing the high hunt together for the past 6 years and we live for it.  I knew jake has not been active on this site for a long time, so when I saw his name come up I immediately sent Miles a PM asking how he knew Jake.  Again no response. 

Now it seems that Miles is messing with Jake.  What is your deal Miles??

I just heard Jake was the expert when it came to the high hunt.   I was unaware that you and Jake hunted together.   Any tips you would like to share regarding the high hunt, more specifically the Glacier Peak Wilderness?
