Title: If you could........
Post by: Jerky_hunter_89 on August 18, 2016, 04:44:27 PM: If you could do any hunt for an OTC tag what would it be? No matter the hike, no matter the drive. Assuming you are coming from Western WA......

I want a muley after a couple days hiking on the Pacific coast trail, I don't know when or if it's possible but it would be two things off the bucket list. High country hunt and Pacific Crest trail✔

A backpack hunt in a wilderness area in Washington would be great to do again. I'm sure I will at some point.

If you have the gear it's really not that hard, especially in Washington. Lots of places to go.

Post by: WapitiTalk1 on August 19, 2016, 01:54:19 PM: Probably a hunt in WY for a big muley. Always thought that would be fun (they've got some real big uns there).

Post by: pianoman9701 on August 20, 2016, 11:31:50 AM: We rarely see people on the PCT in September and use it as a jumping off point for several good hunts. It's handy if you have a bike and/or game cart, too.

Ya I would be gone at least a few days from either hwy 2 or hwy 20, thanks for letting me know it's been done. I like hiking but I at least wanna know someone did it first

Post by: jackelope on August 21, 2016, 12:44:00 PM: If you are within a wilderness boundary(you'd have to be for the high buck hunt), bikes and carts are not legal. Maybe I don't need to say that, but figured I'd throw it out there as a heads up either way. No tires in the wilderness. Feet and hooves only.

Post by: pianoman9701 on August 22, 2016, 07:17:15 AM: Good point. When he said "high buck", I thought it had something to do with legalization in WA. :chuckle:

I do have pics of a mulie trying to get into a grass farm in the methow valley..... There's a high buck! The website doesn't take that format of pic it says and I am not the tech type to fix it
