Post by: jackelope on March 27, 2007, 11:15:17 AM: good to have a photography forum...thanks.

Title: Re: my hunting grounds
Post by: Ray on April 01, 2007, 09:23:59 AM: Nice photo. You know someone mentioned hunting down in Smith Creek the other day and I was wondering if it actually gets crowded down in there. I guess if I want to know I will have to go see for myself.
Title: Re: my hunting grounds
Post by: brush hunter on April 01, 2007, 09:29:58 AM: That's always the best way, but it's hit and miss it's not too bad. Sometimes there too many people, but they for the most part they leave during the week. Need to get up in there in a couple of weeks to see what's left afthe last seasons heavy rains. Lots of places were washed out.

Title: Re: my hunting grounds
Post by: boneaddict on April 04, 2007, 06:48:12 AM: It looks like Okanogan Country up North towards Tonasket or Oroville.
Title: Re: my hunting grounds
Post by: Roper on April 04, 2007, 03:33:46 PM: That was pretty good! North side of Mt. Hull. Lots-o-critters up there. The speck in the field is our place up there. We're heading up tomorrow morning to spend a few days. See if the Merriams are in the lower lot and listen for the drumming grouse.

See ya'll next Monday...

Post by: BrushChimp on April 04, 2007, 07:08:56 PM: brush hunter, that isn't near Lava Canyon. This is one of many raghorns around here...
Title: Re: my hunting grounds
Post by: brush hunter on April 04, 2007, 07:55:19 PM: Sure looks like the old road that goes down to the muddyriver. I guess the area around these smoking mountains look a lot a like.

Title: Re: my hunting grounds
Post by: bowpredator on May 11, 2007, 09:16:25 AM: ah yes good old copper creek.that road there is just past the dug up part at the trail head of G--- lake. my nephew shot his first bear on the timber line just above that landing. we use to be able to drive that road all the way along the ridge to the end, we use to bait the crap out of that whole creek bottom also. saw one of the biggest bear i'v ever seen on that big open hillside to the left when you are driving up to the trail head to lake christine.

Post by: Dman on May 11, 2007, 11:01:33 AM: We'll do GoCoug, if I get down that way this year, going to Montana and have a shot at a Wa. special hunt. I hunted the old Ranier tree farm quite a bit, took a couple bucks out of there and spend a lot of time hiking up around the park. I'd be in a silver Chevy 1/2 ton.
