Post by: SURVEYOR on January 20, 2010, 01:40:29 PM: Has anyone ever hunted up at Lyman Lakes or up at Cub Lake in the Glacier Peak Wilderness for High Buck?

Especially since most of posts are asking everyone where to hunt turkey, elk, and deer. Get a good pair of boots and a tank full of gas. The land is there waiting for YOU to discover it.

Post by: JPhelps on January 23, 2010, 09:42:36 AM: Looking at SURVEYOR's posts, it seems he is one of those professional computer scouters. He wants everyone to tell him where to hunt without ever stepping foot into the area. :bash:

I have got a great idea. Come July put a pack on your back and hike into these areas that you are interested in and go check them out. That is how learning/hunting an area USED to work.

i think iv found some of my favorite areas, for hunting and for just gettin away, while getting intentionally lost... you know what the say about the 'road less traveled'. :cmp1:
