Title: Pics of the Wenaha
Post by: Deer slayer on June 24, 2010, 02:28:59 PM: Anyone have pics of the East Wenaha. I love scenic pics and I want to show my dad what it looks like. If you have some pics of elk you killed in there throw them in too. I love the Blues Mountains.

Post by: Deer slayer on June 24, 2010, 06:44:44 PM: Going in on horseback and hunting from there. Why?

Post by: Pathfinder101 on June 24, 2010, 06:51:00 PM: THat is actually probably the best way to hunt the Wenaha. There are several good horse trails in and out of there. Lots of good camps in there, not hard to find. I always said that if I drew the Wenaha or the Watershed that is how I would hunt it; borrow a couple of horses to get deep, then hunt on foot from there. I missed it earlier, did you draw rifle, bow or muzzy?

Post by: Pathfinder101 on June 24, 2010, 08:07:13 PM: Well, you might have a little company then, but still should be a great hunt. Bugle every once in a while. You may still get a reflex response. They were still making noise in mid-October when we were in there deer hunting when those pics where taken. Sounds like you have a good plan. :tup:

a plan before putting in. I figured it was coming sooner or later.

Actually, about the ONLY thing we saw on that trip was a cat. CoryTDF saw what he was pretty sure was a cougar on the 3rd day in there, but it was gone in an instant, no time for a shot or even to confirm 100% that is was a cougar. Not even a glimpse of a deer in 4 days (which is why we havent hunted there again). There were several bulls in there, like I said, still bugling, we caught was glimpses of them, but nothing we could score. THey were down in the thick timber. I have seen plenty of 320 to 350 bulls in the Wenaha though, usually glassing from a high point into it. Are you going to scout it this summer?

Post by: Pathfinder101 on June 25, 2010, 09:53:55 AM: I have never hunted East Wenaha, only the west (it used to only be a single unit until a couple of years ago). I will keep my ears open though, and if I learn anything useful, I'll send you a PM.

Thanks for all your help. I am extremely excited about this tag and trip. My understanding is it's a great group I am going with.
