Title: No Elk this year, but it was a cool camp...
Post by: Rob on December 02, 2009, 05:21:26 PM: hunted east side up near the Naches river this year. (modern rifle, just slow to post due to work).

Had a great time even though the elk bugged out before we got there, but it was a bit chilly for being in a tent... I guess this is what is known as a character builder.

Post by: Rob on December 03, 2009, 08:28:21 AM: I picked up one of those buddy heaters (and a CO detector) and it keeps that tent toasty warm. I was actually very comfortable. It was the massive winds the week before that were brutal. It was only my fat backside that kept the tent from blowing away.

It was a fun hunt even if we did not see any Elk. Always nice to get out.

But weather like that is why God made wall tents and woodstoves ;)
