Title: Kapowsin, a great place to be this spring.
Post by: epq21 on May 10, 2010, 07:28:20 PM: I Had another fantastic few days up at Kapowsin. Thank you Rasbo for all the hospitality, discussions and pointers. You are a true sportsman; you are so selflessly willing to help others have success on they're hunting adventures. I appreciate you taking the time to help a fellow sportsman out. Thank you again!

Post by: epq21 on May 10, 2010, 08:15:22 PM: Awesome, I can't wait. The Admiral has given me a free pass through the 15 of June, I just have to work out the details with work. Great news about the sign!

By the way I believe we were both picking our selves up more than once... :chuckle: Those damn leprechauns keep grabbing my shoe laces.

Post by: epq21 on May 10, 2010, 08:17:57 PM: It has been a great time!!!

Rasbo, my sun suggested it might be a duck or goose skull. What do you think about that guess?

he has had a chance at two,I think hes hoping for the blonde.sometimes ya just gotta go where the bears are.I was worried about crossing with my leg,so we took a gps reading and tackled it from another direction..Good thing,we found some really good areas,that nobody goes into.. :drool:

Title: Re: Kapowsin, a great place to be this spring.
Post by: epq21 on May 19, 2010, 06:24:32 PM: I am having withdrawls, I need to get back in there. We're having more fun than should be allowed. Rasbo, those areas we found are loaded and I think they are going to produce for a while. I am hoping to be back out there this weekend.... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Shopping list is filled... By the way, you get around with a bad leg better than most motivated people with two good legs. Leaving no stone unturned usually pays off with success, even the wet ones... :chuckle:

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on May 19, 2010, 06:27:35 PM: I swear with as much work as you have been putting in up there I am going to be mighty disappointed if you don't connect.
Title: Re: Kapowsin, a great place to be this spring.
Post by: epq21 on May 19, 2010, 06:35:40 PM: Honestly, I am having so much fun and seeing so much wildlife and so many great areas that I know I will have made an honest effort and had a great hunt. Not to mention how much I am learning. I do believe there is a great chance of putting some meat in the freezer though and am crossing my fingers. However, thanks for the motivation ... :)

Post by: runamuk on May 19, 2010, 06:44:23 PM: I am rather jealous you are hunting with the Czar you are a lucky person ;) and it looks like a ton of fun to boot.....
Title: Re: Kapowsin, a great place to be this spring.
Post by: epq21 on May 19, 2010, 07:30:57 PM: I could not agree more, I feel very lucky to be able to hunt with the czar and he is just a great gentlemen to be around in general.

Title: Re: Kapowsin, a great place to be this spring.
Post by: epq21 on May 19, 2010, 09:41:57 PM: Rasbo, remind me and I will leave one with you for a while next time I am up there. It is an older version of the Rhino 530 but it is pretty good. Biggest down fall on it, is that it does not have the ultra sensitive antenna for the GPS signal but it does OK. I will make sure and get the maps loaded on it.

Where there is poop there is bears... :drool: :drool: :drool:
