They took him up scouting to a ridge top on there own quad, showed him the area and helped him pack it out. no joke. bring some beer down and make a few phone calls our knock on some doors to the locals not saying youll get the same response he did but it worked for him. He shot a 350 bull because of the local knowledge.

Is your friend a forester who shot the bull?

I live close by the area and if you get a big bull down and if I am around and need packers give a shout!!!!!If you are hunting in skagit I have a river lot just outside of concrete on the south skagit hwy you may be able to use for a base camp.
