Title: Watershed stories?
Post by: ipkus on November 06, 2012, 12:33:57 PM: It sure seems like there were a lot of guys on here with Watershed tags looking for info this summer. The season ended a couple days ago, where's the reports? How was it besides wet and foggy?

also thursday night, around ritzville, saw a rig towing a horse trailer headed west with two excellent bulls in the bed. Idaho, maybe? :dunno:

then there was the washington wall hanger spike tied on the front of a four wheeler in the bed of a pickup headed through dixie on sunday around noon. not a very big elk, about the size of a muley, but hey! a spike!

I saw 8 bulls killed... so it wasn't a great harvest this year. Tough weather and steep hills added to the challenge. I love that place.
