Title: Rimrock bound!!! bull down!
Post by: elkrack on June 12, 2015, 07:58:35 PM
Well i drew the archery bull tag for the 3rd time in 10 years. Hopefully i will be able to punch my tag this time. I will have a hard time not sticking a cow if she dares to step in front of me!! :o

Nice, congrats.  You guys must know that area really well with all those years up there?  Anyone else in the family get tags?

I have to say , after hunting 364 for 12 years what in the world are the cameras for !! Do you think that big bull is going to still be there when you get there, we already know they are there, its a matter of getting to them were they are when we are there not when pretty little pictures are taken,and don't think for a minute that pictures are all that's taken , those broke folks that live in naches gotta support there families some other way than picking peaches !!that darn area is there lottery ticket to the hock shop in Yakima, go in there some time you will compleately get it , with no background music required !

Cryder......I Live in Tieton, and have ALOT of friends in the area who hunt and play in rimrock. None are thieves. What is your point? Are you insinuating the area is full of thieves?     Where do you live and how did get to be so wise about this area?

way to get after it, never mind negative comments!  I just replaced my sd card on Saturday after only one week of soaking, two small Bulls, a cow and a doe. Not bad for one week, good luck!

Cameras are a great way to pass the time until the season starts and gives a an idea of any potential bulls you may have a shot at. Enjoy your scouting. Good luck on the hunt.

I feel cameras are a great way to see whats in the area and can help a guy decide where to really scout. Plus its fun to check for the results...kinda like opening a present"). Always a risk of them getting taken but its the chance you have to take. Plus depending on the time of year its very likely the bull will still be where the picture was taken.

Another nice "side effect" of putting out cameras is all the area you cover and learn while hiking around. Hanging a camera isn't just picking some random tree and throwing out salt or whatever but you really need to be aware of pinch points, game trails and other areas where you believe the animals will be traveling. It makes you look at the terrain in a much different way versus just going out and hiking around.  :twocents:

Agreed on yout thoughts..you would have to get real lucky just hanging in a random spot

Sorry if anybody is offended but after crooks hit us twice in 3 years in364 it just really gets to you , then I go into one of the hock shops and the place is full of trail cams and one of them we are pretty sure was one of ours, and for another thing ask what the law inforcement says you will get it real quick, Im not saying IT DOESNT HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE IM JUST SAYING IT HAPPENS THERE ALOT. :dunno:Dont get me wrong I use trail cams all the time on my property just to keep track of whats out there and I completely enjoy them until someone invades my privacy or my stalking plans by stealing every thing they see in the woods, I had a officer tell me to not leave camp unatteneded ever he says there is agroup they are after that will spot and stalk your camp wate for you to leave and take everything they can carry but any ways hey I got a picture of a bull from last year lets go see if he is still standing there ! :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Title: Re: Rimrock bound!!!
Post by: elkrack on June 24, 2015, 11:13:48 PM
Cryder there are definitely thieves in that area we have been fortunate enough not to have been hit but friends of ours have been. I don't think cryder was saying everyone in that area is a thief but when you have had stuff stolen before you start to question people more often. Hanging trail cams is alot of fun and its another sort of hunting just with a different type of shot! Can't wait to check pics soon :tup:. Trophy cant wait to see how your wife's hunt turns out
Title: Re: Rimrock bound!!!
Post by: shmeegs80 on June 28, 2015, 01:13:49 PM
Lots of campers out today, but none that I saw out in the woods. Got my cameras put out. Hopefully will be posting some big bull pics soon.

Well there you have it ! That's just another reason I always go back its just another thing I know about 364 that will never surprise me ever again because ill be ready for it , just like the fool that almost put a quick end to my hunting days forever with his launching of missles at freeeeeekn 4am in the dark and shot a illegal spike with a hanger , but his first shot exploded 20 yards in front of me ,I swear I thought I was dead, never again im ready for those fools too ! I will never rifle hunt anywhere ever again that season is absolutely out of control !,but who cares right ! keep the sales going till we see our own states vesion of that movie from the 80'S ? Called shoot were hunters turn on each other, then im sure fish ands feathers will not change anything just start having draws for Kevlar camoes but only the lucky people get them.  bow hunter till the end or we run out of elk ! :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:
