Prepping all my stuff this week. Pulling cams out of the backcountry on Saturday. One final scouting trip
Wish I had time this year for scouting. having to go in cold this year. Too much to do this summer getting firewood for the winter ect. Not holding my breath for a successful trip this year but going in cold is better than not going at all.

Hey fillthefreezer...I don't see any side arm on your list. Do you not carry in the back country. I get saving the weight thing. It's a few extra pounds with ammo. I wonder how many of you do or don't carry and why?
I don't carry one, too heavy. If I was hunting in Grizzly country, I would, but here in Washington, there's nothing in the backcountry that scares me.

We leave for Colorado Thursday.
Grizzly: no we don't carry side arms. Not worth the weight penalty, and I've got some type of weapon with me when I'm hunting.
And for scouting I find in leaving it at home more and more...just really not that nervous about needing it. At least in this state.

Yup ! Northern B.C. in two weeks. The boy got his Kennetreks yday - last 13W in the US. I did my last prep hike wednesday. Took the Kennetreks up Mount St. Helens. Changed socks at the top but feet were happy ! 10 mile round trip. Finally Hunt time !
Good luck Jay!

New Spotter ? Those Kowa's sure get good reviews...... Good Luck !
He's had it for a few years, but it's a very good spotter!
Gun went unfired, but had a hell of a weekend!
I'm tired and sore. 17 miles round trip plus daily hiking=sore dogs.

I was out in the ALW, and came across three guys coming back from a bear hunt. I was 10 miles in, saw some great country, but no bear...forgot to ask those guys if they frequent this site.
