Been doing some serious hiking. In elk everday, few smaller bulls. The weather is up and down. Few bugles here and there. One more day of scouting then game on!
Rtspring, Coach...

Keep at it and good luck :tup:
-
expecting a full report including pictures. Good luck :tup:

Went up to camp today to meet the guys and set up my wall tent. Kurt and Corey have been scouting hard and are living pretty plush! Had some of Chris's BBQ as well and let me tell you all, its legit! Gonna be a looong week at work! I also got our camp banner hung up!
-
Awesome!! Good luck guys. Have fun and be safe.

Good luck guys

Just got home, have to work thur and friday! Coach and I have put in well over 35 miles in scouting and hunting in 6 days!! We summited mt Christy from fr 1905 all the way to the top 6200 feet!!! Warning to the weak, dont attempt if your at all afraid of heights! The trail is two feet wide at the top..
Seen some nice bulls but none fit the bill. The bugles are few and far between. We also hiked straight up the west face of Ravens Roost! Damn near vertical... We are giving it all we got!!
PS. Anyone ever see a lighted nock arrow shot through a gmc truck passing through both windows at 40 yds into a dollar bill stuck on a deer target??? We got that on video!! Corey is deadly from 70 plus with his bow!! That SOB can flat shoot...

Long story short: I am tagging this thread.
With the way that RT writes, I am sure to get sucked into this thread, and I suspect that it will be a very long story. There are a couple of guys on this forum (and a few ladies, too, especially the long distance driver, who buys ammo along the way) who can really spin a yarn. I have a bad feeling that this thread will take a lot of my time these next few weeks.
Hurry up and do the job, will you, please?
-
I got the impression that the job was done and the work was beginning...packing it out? Can't wait for the rest of the story.

it sounds to me like he found (saw) the bull he wants to go after, but that's just assuming and you know what they say about assuming!

He found "the one" and is going after him. I'm hoping he tags him today so I can get back up there.the area they're in is beautiful and very secluded so if he's found "the one" then it must be big. :drool: vehicles loaded and ready!

Had a great time with Coach and Rtspring. Those men are leaving it all out there. Shoot-em's visit to camp was great as well. Never would have thought I'd see a muzzleloader shot to 500 yards accurately but we did.... Left at dark last night and got to stop on top of Chinook Pass and watch the storms fury hammer the mountains. Really hope this weather change gives the boys the break they need. I enjoyed cooking for men that have put at least 100 miles on their boots this week. Aaron has to be smiling at the effort and is sending Karl to help close the deal. Can't wait to get the text and hammer over the hill again.
-
What road are you guys camped on. I'm headed east Saturday going from green water to Little Naches like to stop in and say hello.
Im still waiting for some one to tell me what road u are on. Would like to stop in Saterday to say hello. I'm headed over to check camaras. spend the night see if my 7 x7 is still hanging around.

Go up little niches cross to 1902 toward Ravens Roost. After 8ish miles Turn left at the coach sign (green neon paint). 3 miles to the end of the road.

Thank you

CAMP BOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I make it through the slides or do I have to go up and over through the nile?

W where staying at the crow creek camp ground. I got there on Thursday morning on are way up to ravens roost saw the coach sign. I was going to hunt that area but went to another spot. Hope it turns out for you coach. We saw a couple small bulls then last night got into a nice 6x6 but the shooter got inpatient and it didn't happen.
-
Coach, dan, karl, chris and I are taking a break!!! We have left it all on the mountain.. Back up on friday
Karl got to hike back into hell with us on Saturday. Great hunt and seen elk and even put a stalk on a decent bull. But he gave us the slip!!
Chris, we really miss your cooking!
Looking forward to friday!!!

Coach's sayings
"Its all pretty flat, except for the steep stuff!"
"Lets take the shortcut". Shortcut my arse!!!
-
Wow, keep up the hard work guys!
-
Definitely had a blast! I was pretty nervous about the first time back in the elk mountains without Aaron but I gotta say that it was the most fun I have had since April 23. I flat out had a damn good time! Kurt and Corey are a blast to hunt with and keep things lively. They hike pretty darn good for old guys :chuckle:
Seriously though, big thanks for letting me tag along! Can't even begin to tell you how much healing took place.
-
Sounds like a great time up in them mountains :tup:
-
Cook shack will be open on Friday night. Lets finish the deal.
Karl I am glad that this weekend was great. Sorry I couldn't stay longer.
Any requests for Saturday night dinner (back strap anticipated)
-
quick update ! thanks for all the help and offers , It's been great getting to know some new friends , Chris in a hell of a cook and a real trooper , shootem /dr bob one of the most selfless friend a guy could ask for and gives it hell, rt/kurt one hell of a strait up guy that will trek to hell and back for you ,. he is even willing to go face on with a swarm of angry hornets to help a bud ! . Karl and dan are stand up guys and are welcome in my camps any time , karl is one hell of a hunter and we had a good time even though we didn't arrow a bull on sat we were into elk and shared plenty of laughs . most of the bulls we found wern,t call responsive. we found two shooters and the big guy moved from a killer spot into a hell hole the night of the storm , RT and I went in after him like six more miles only for him to give us the slip across the river (he took his cow and left , not ready to dance). this country is really thick and will be good if the rut ever kicks into swing , I just hope they get fired of before the end. Heading back out after a couple of days at work and I will push hard intill the end !Coach.

So let me get this straight.......You are archery hunting for a big bull but shooting firearms in camp?
Ok......I'll play along and see how this works out........
-
we arn't even hunting close to camp , but all kinds of people are shooting in the area and I really don't think the elk give a dam . we had elk bugling right near camp after shooting .

to bad you wernt closer quad you could through your dough in the pot

It was a blast hunting and hanging out with coach, rt, and whitpirate. Heck of a camp(kurt) and cooking(chris). Coach you are going to kill me but it will be a great way to go. Can't remember when I laughed so hard. Nothing funnier than seeing you guys walk out with all those hornet stings. If the Blazed Ridge goat tag isn't filled I think we can show someone a pretty nice one. Still lots of time to kill something. Get er done!
-
love this thread. wish i could have come up to visit yall and help anyway possible. good luck, i know youll smoke a brute!
-
It is amazing how a group of hunters can come together and support one another. I have shared many Elk Camps, but this one will go down as one of the best.
Shootem (bob). You are a standup guy.. Your welcome back anytime.
Chris, the cooking is far more than was expected. Thank you!!
COACH- man we have just hit it off from the start, looking forward to many great memories in the hills with you brother.
Karl- it is our pleasure to have you in camp buddy!!!
Dan- great to have you along for the ride..
Friday can't get here fast enough!! Lets finish this and get the job done! No matter what!!!
GETSUM ELK CAMP.
-
You guys should be out now

The demands if commerce and paying my bills required a departure from the hill until Friday.

I may be back much sooner !

Is the bowtech your primary bow? How do you like it?
-
it will be soon , I'm so used to the g5 though . it's a very nice shooting bow , mine is the cpxl if my draw length was less than 30 i'd pick up the cpx . you won't ever regret picking up a bow tech .
-
I have the bow Tech air born and love it . Shoots flat out to 50 yards.

I have mixed emotions..I remember the days when I would go out and be 30-40 miles from any cell phones, pay phones, etc...it was nice. Last week, I had service and my worked bothered me on several occasions. I would much rather not know that the place was burning down.

Even if I am in a service area then I still turn my cell phone off while I am out hunting. Part of the reason I go is to get away from that dang thing. That doesn't mean I won't get on at night or something and check my fantasy football team or other sports scores, and hunt-wa of course. :chuckle:
-
I should have checked mine...I was spanked in one of my leagues but managed a win on my league here.
I hope Coach smacks one tonight..

Quick recap this is the same bull that rt had on camera he's most the biggest bull in the unit, but he was the baddest bull on the mountain. He controlled the tempo no doubt and had a distinctive bugle. Every time we got close he shut up or the wind swirled on us to rights ago we had him real close to dead. Then on Sat we couldn't find him vanished went to jacks for fuel on the way back up he bolted across the road so we knew he was still around
This morning started off slow and after seeing a cow and firing off a bugle up. After getting bumped by a cow thinking was on,he took uS four miles down the mountain. He had figured our calls out so I got real agresssive on the bugle he finally had had enough and made his fatal misstake.what a end to an outstanding hunt . We gave it well and burNed boot leather. We took field photos and shared some serious emotions hanging Jason's call on the horns for from.more story later and Karl will post field pics when he gets home
Thanks men!

Left turn full bugle. Big Nasty told the boys repeatedly at the end to "get the hell off my mountain"
What an amazing hunt to get to be a part of.... Was worth the sleepy driving and other challenges. Cory, Kurt and Karl earned that bull. I was happy to keep the coffee on.
Aaron smiled down on us yesterday I am sure.

Thanks for continueing to watch out for them Aaron! :salute:

I got in my truck this morning and almost puked!!!! Big nasty was the stinkiest bull I have ever had to deal with
-
Its all about soaking them balls in the mud!!!
-
Very cool guys, Congrats. :tup:

I will let the guys tell the story but I am going to say one thing. I have gotten pretty good at fighting back the tears and when Kurt hung that call on those antlers it was tough but I choked them back. When I was deboning big nasty and realized that I was never going to get to part out a big bull for Aaron I fought them back. When I thought about how much Aaron would have loved being on that hunt, I fought them back. As I pulled into my driveway last night and shut off my truck I just sat there for a while. When I recapped everything and started to think about how much hard work, sacrifice and commitment these men showed to honor Aaron I lost it! Just sat in the truck and let the tears roll! This hunt will go down in history as one of my most cherished. Thank you Corey, Kurt, and Chris. Miss you every day brother!

You da man, Karl.... Your brother was smiling down on you and those other guys yesterday and for the last couple weeks. I'm glad it turned out the way it did. Bull or no bull, you guys honored Aaron in a way that nobody else could have. Proud of you guys for sticking with it and getting chit done. My 1st question was wondering if Corey would get a bull. The 2nd question was knowing if you were there. I was so happy to hear you were able to be there, and to hear you were running the call made me smile.
:tup:
-
p.s. You guys need to work on your choice of celebration beer.
:puke:

I dont drink beer! But damn it was good

I had a blast just hanging out with the guys in the shop last night. A million laughs! I can't imagine what it was like to be in camp with those jokers :chuckle:
-
Just clarify, I ran some calls but Corey sealed the deal himself with the tree rake and bugle! Big nasty thought he was gonna wool some raghorn butt........he was wrong! :chuckle:

This bull really was all About Arron Brother , IT was his memory and what he stood for aswell as chris getting breakfast going that got be outta bed a few of those mornings ! I can't tell you how many times his memory has choked me up . I can only Imagine how difficult it must be for you and your family . He's truely lucky to have a brother as fine as you my friend ........ How that bull didn't wind us is beond me I can only think arron had something to do with it and I'm not a real spiritual guy.
-
Your brother was with you the whole time. He put that big, nasty so and so on you not you on the bull. He put that stinky bull on you for a joke that you won't forget. :tup: Hell of a job you guys. Puts a lump in my throat.

I believe Aaron was with us! No way in hell could we have pulled it off without him! We wanted to hunt! And by god we got all the hunt we could handle...
Big Nasty made one mistake!

Caedyn was head over heels for the elk. He's ready to hunt that cow tomorrow.

when we saw this bull on camera I figured 340 I was of a lil ,

I would estimate his green score as "big enough". Very nice bull and a great tribute.

I was thinking close to 330 . Great bull Coach
-
Same here. 330 +/- 5. Great bull!
-
Man now I'm hungry... Great bull guys :tup:
-
345
-
I would guess 320-330 after seeing all the angles on him. He has some great mass and love his horn color.
-
337"
-
Beautiful bull :tup: 327"
-
Great Great bull!
332"

Right at 330 with a quick tape , I didn't tape the main beam so I may have shorted him a bit . his mains were 44 and 45 , with a low spread credit of just under 32. his daggers were 18. first mass was 9. bases were a bit over 10. you guys were right from that trail cam pic he was all done by july 15th. I won't get hung up on score because he was the boss in that drainage for sure and had good age on him , but I could imagine 55 inch beams with a 45 inch spread credit !

Congrats Coach, a 330 - 340 class Bull in Washington off of public lands is a very impressive beast.
Followed the story from the beginning and I have to say you did the tag justice. Would have been nice to tagged out early but that just wasn't how this old dude was supposed to fall. He was the "The Man" in that valley and deserved to be taken with a fair chase hunt. I am sure you and the crew had to use every play out of the play book to make him stumble. The big guys knowledge of the woods and the shear will power you guys gave made this a hunt to remember. Lets not forget all of the fans you made that were sitting on the sidelines, waiting for an update every few hours as we checked the hunt progress.
Thanks for taking all of the Hunt-Wa family along for the ride, this will be the greatest hunt we have all gotten to follow. I am sure Aaron would be giving you 2 thumbs up right now, for a job well done. :tup: :tup:

Awesome job, guys. So well done.

We were watching Hunt-Wa like hawks at camp! All of you members gave us tons of laughs when we were getting down..
Thanks , it has been one hell of a ride!!!

Great Job Guys! It was a pleasure to meet up with you at the top of the mountain before diving off. We knew you would get it done. I did fill my tag on a 5x5 eventually. Story and pics to follow, but that is one masher for Aaron that is for sure. Great adventure and pics!
