From Buckcanyonlodge
After consideration on which auction to provide, I think the bow hunt is what we are going with. My intention with the weekend get-a-way for the Blanchard family was to donate the stay and to donate any funds raised through the auction. Looks like it may be very hard for JL to keep track of all who would donate. If BLRMAN wants to PM me I think Wendy and I can still do something for a stay for the family N/C. So here is my auction donation:
Semi-Guided Archery Hunt for two. Arrive afternoon Sept 6th and check out morning Sept. 9th. Here is what you get: Lodging, Meals, Access to private land, Scouting prior to your arrival, stand and blind placement,then you hunt on your own. I will spend the first day showing you where I have seen the game. You can hunt mule deer,whitetail deer, bear, and I have seen a couple elk on one of my leases. Value w/tax is $800
Gonna start the bidding on this at 5pm today and run it till Tuesday 5/7/13 at 5:00pm. The forum clock rules on these so when the clock says 5:00pm next tuesday, it's all over. I'm going to run it for an extended period so questions can be answered, minds can be made up, etc.
Payment by the winner will be made to Boneaddict via his paypal at massivemuleys@aol.com or you can pm him for a mailing address.
Good luck, happy bidding, and I wish I had some extra cash laying around because this place looks like a heck of a lot of fun for a bowhunt.

Can a rifle tag hunter bid and just go to hunt bears, eat great food, and hang out?

You bet. Here is a pic of a bear I call Pork Chop. He lives on one of the leases. One of these days he'll make a mistake and end up at the Taxi. Lots of grouse and maybe even get in a little walleye fishing.....

FYI the date is wrong on the trail cam pic. I think they are sleeping in Jan.!!

If there is an archery hunter out there who wants to go halves, send me a PM. I have a rifle tag and will take in all other activities but deer and elk hunting. I will be out halibut/lingcod/shrimp fishing from noon tomorrow until Monday so I may not get back to you until Monday evening.

I wanted to report back to the thread having just completed 4 days at Buck Canyon with Rick & Wendy hosting me and my long time friend Jon. The land, overall experience and wildlife was fantastic but all the great things I can report about the lodge (fantastic), food (amazing) and the view (breath taking) is nothing compared to the class Rick, Wendy and Wendy's sister demonstrated to me and Jon.
This was Jon's first ever archer hunt and although he missed low on a healthy 3 x 3 on our first full day of hunting, I have little doubt he's hooked. Jon was able to spot and stalk the Muley herd on Rick's property on and off for 3 mornings capped off by evening Whitetail hunts over alfalfa nestled into a field with a backdrop of Lake Roosevelt. There are a few pretty good Whitetails roaming around this field, but none coming in close enough for a shot.
Unfortunately and as hunting goes - we did not tag out on bear or deer but walked away with a tremendous experience. We were saddled with 4 days of funky weather... packed in with Fog all 4 days and rain the first two the frustration was visible on Rick's face but I was honestly left with quite nearly as much satisfaction of the overall experience than if Jon or I had tagged out.
I will be going back - without doubt and for those of you looking for this type of experience, Buck Canyon is one to consider.. There are some really good bucks, bear, turkey and more on Ricks properties.
Also a thanks to WeaMag3000 and Buckmark for reaching out after they successfully purchased this hunt (SNIPED! he he) and could not go. Awfully nice to think of me to buy it from them. Thanks guys!

I love hearing back on the auctions. Sounds like a great time regardless, and awesome attitude all around!
-
Great to hear about the good experience. Wish you guys could have notched your tag on something, but that's how hunting goes sometimes.
-
Well... I also missed a Muley (conveniently forgot that note) on the last day - DOH!
-
We really enjoyed having Chuck and Jon at our Lodge. Great guys. They are welcome at our Lodge anytime!!. We were plagued by fog every morning. The guys made the most of it and never gave up. They made great stalks on a couple mulie bucks but could not close the deal. Here are a couple pics from their hunt. We were glad to have a part helping out the Blanchard family.

Looks like you guys had a great time. :tup:

Missed this, glad you guys had a great time, get that buck on the late hunt.
