Norse you lied to me you said if I put in for the four units you told me to I'd get drawn. :'(
I can't believe you would lead me astray like that. :chuckle: J/K it's been awhile how have you been. Busy I imagine.

MY scouting won't help me much, didn't draw squat, but hopefully we can fill some bull tags for some clients.

I have 4 buddies that drew a Goose Prairie group tag. I told them that I would hike into apple and pear lake to set up camp. But they are a little apprehensive (scared) even with a couple of horses. Where do you think these 4 knuckle heads/friends of mine should scout out with the best chance of them at least getting a chance at 4 shots?

You should redo your above statment, 4 in the group is correct, with one pushing hard to go pack in on this hunt with horses, and the others are apprehensive. :bash: :bash: Last thing I want to do is hunt the Nile with the crowds around Lindsey camp and clover springs. :bdid: I am trying to get a pack in deal with an outfitter for us, hopefully if I swing a deal that is affordable the others will go for it. Hate to waste my chance at finally getting a big bull. :IBCOOL:

I pretty much cover all of the Chinook pass drainage, I'm lucky and get a lot of time to goof off in the mtns.

Since this thread was started by norsepeak, if you haven't yet I'd suggest you contact him. He's a guide for Rugged Class Outfitters and has offered discounts for Hunt-Wa members. Might be a good place to start. :dunno: :)

Valid point, wasn't looking for a guided trip and I know the others would not pay that kind of money. Distinct possibility for me doing it alone tho, thanks.
PM sent to Norse for info....

You just ruined my day I had planed on taking my three buddies to apple and pear lake for the same hunt. They are pumped and are going to spend every possible minute hunting when the season starts. I am going to haul them in because they don't have horses and I will come back for them later. I will leave my sat phone with them if they need me any sooner.
