Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

:yike:Oh no, where's the internet police???? No orange and the tags need to be on the biggest portion of the meat not the antlers......!!!!!  :chuckle: Just thought I'd beat some one to it, just kidding around.  Nice job on getting two down.

  :yeah: Lets hope anyone checking out this thread actually reads the posts rather than reads the thread title, scans through it only looking at pics, and thinks the pics are actually from the Blues. :chuckle:

 These are Colockum bulls!!!
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

talked to a boilogist years ago( had a brother coming from out of state ) to ask about the herd health in the blues. he actually laughed.
he mentioned that the heard #s were down, now picture the # of spikes born from a herd at what %, now enter the % of younguns taken by preditors & other factors & if they make it to antler growing age.
now you can enter the BF factor & if you have followed other threads you will know not to bother with the blues.
a newbe we brought up to camp last year thought he saw an elk but was unsure as whatever he saw was traveling mach- something & headed west.
now, in this age we can enter the wolf.
wolves, bf --
no elk in the blues

I don't hunt the Blues much.... Too many BF I'm told.... I usually get a spike every year.... I don't know why but two trails I sit on just attract them..... Sat there almost all damn day one openiner a few years ago.... Even dosed off probably a couple times.... I woke up to a very distant ml blast  to find 7 spikes walking single file down the trail....  Have killed 5 spikes on that trail so far....

...Sounds like the Colockum.  Most of the trails in there are like that... :tup:

Or the CCC can let others in there and assist with the harvest of these spikes in the Colockum instead of selfishly keeping them to themselves. :bdid: :bdid: :bdid:

Damn Plat.  Are you trying to get yourself into the wintess protection program?  I am telling you, if you start informing on the CCC like that you are going to wind up like me...WDFW had to create a whole new identity for me.  Hell, everyone now thinks I live in Walla Walla... :o
