Post by: janttihunter on March 17, 2013, 01:37:41 PM: LOL ya i figured that.. Way to much work to just give away your spot and way to many people to encourage anyone into going into areas you hunt.. Ill prob just spend my spring and summer tricking my wife into "hiking"and scout a bunch of areas.

There are a few good basins tucked away you can still find as some of the main trails are getting more difficult due to blowdowns and brush discouraging SOME of the lazier hunters. :chuckle:

Post by: janttihunter on March 17, 2013, 06:40:54 PM: What about if I went up and dis archery instead? Sept 1? Still be crowded?

Ya I plan on it being more of a camping trip, with a chance to get something.

Post by: Skyvalhunter on March 18, 2013, 07:31:18 PM: Probably alot less hunters then but remember to get away from the trail as Sept is the favorite time for hikers to be out there and that is a popular spot.

You need to add some PETA and HSUS stickers to really be sure nobody knows you're a hunter.

I want my tires inflated when I get back to the trailhead. I don't think I can sink that low to harvest a deer.
