Title: Successful Year for the Hughes Boys
Post by: teamhughes2007 on December 17, 2015, 04:12:17 PM: What a great year! My dad (71 years old and still backpacks in with us), brother and I harvested 5 bucks and 1 bear in both Washington (2 bucks, 1 bear) and Montana (3 bucks)...all 4 pointers (at least on one side), all public land. I had to crop a couple of the photos because it would give away the area and none of you are welcome there ;)

Yeah, that was meant to be a joke...the winking, smiley face is a little small to see though. There are a lot of other parties where we hunt and we have enjoyed getting to know them. I know that all are welcome on public land and I also know that we were the "new guys" to the area when we started...except for my dad who hunted there about 40 years ago. The area is just a little full so out of courtesy to the other groups up there I didn't want to give it away by our photos. But if you know where it's at, you're more than welcome to join us!
