there aint no deer and elk in the mashel anymore, the poachers and big cats have pretty much wiped them out

Speaking of big cats, I seen one off the mainline around the 5.5 mile mark just before bridge camp yesterday. It looked like a pretty healthy tom that hadnt missed any meals.

i grew up in elbe hills, it was the only place my family ever hunted, yes there is still a few nice bucks up there but the cats and poachers comin in from elbe town side, right off of bochers and a couple of other farms have hurt those hills bad, if you do have a mashel tag your best bet is to spend the first 2 weeks of nov in hancock you will pretty much have it to yourself, i know a kid thast drew that tag last year and cracked a stud up in hancock....

Were you in a black Chevy pickup on Sunday?  I passed one other guy right before seeing the cat.

I haven't been through there in a while. Scott Turner Rd tried to throw me off the side of a hill and I haven't been back since.  :chuckle:

 A few years back I shot a 5 point Black tail in the clearcut just past the ORV camp there...however that area has grown up quite a bit since then.

No, he said "Mashel"!

Just follow the tweakers, when they double back to break into your rig, go right at the ATV torn up creek bed, then left at the gravel pit shooting range. Talk to those intelligent people, shooting the ARs and high powered rifles a crossed the road, at beer bottles sitting on boulders and re-purposed refrigerators,
 "where all the big bucks at"?
Show some courtesy and wait until all twenty change over the 30 round mags before disturbing them.
They will give you all kinds of advise, then tell you to go back to your vehicle with the newly added "tweaker ventilation" and head down the main line and out the ORV area back onto HWY 7.
Keep travelling back and forth along HWY 7 between the park and Elbe, along with the other couple hundred hunters, until the buck or your dreams steps out to eat grass along the on the shoulder  hwy 7.

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
