Finally the season is here!
For those of you who have written me with your excitement to view our videos, photos, adventures and stories from our camps this year, here is where i will post all of them. I appreciate those of you that show the same passion for the stories/photos and adventures as I do. :)
This year will be even more memorable than past years. My dad is now 100% cancer free :tup: and doing much better. He should be able to hunt and hike the hills as he was not able to much last year. A celebration of time to cherish with my dad and my family as well as good friends.
We will be in the same camp for the next four weekends on and off depending on the week. We will have the biggest camp we have had in the 5 years we have been going to this area, so it should be interesting. We will have almost 60 feet of wall tent and 8-10 guys in camp. I have a feeling that this year is our YEAR!.
Good luck to everyone this General season. Have a safe hunt and make some memories.
Here is the schedule.
1. Gen Mule Deer Camp Weekend Only Fri-Sun Oct 14-16
2. Gen Mule Deer Camp Thur-Sun Oct 20-23
3. Gen Spike Elk Camp Wed Oct 26th-Nov 6th

Leaving in the morning bright and early and coming home sunday evening to begin packing for our 10 day trip back to the same spot.
Definitely feeling the gas prices these days. This will be our 4th trip over since July, but this is what we do. We look forward to these trips all year and nothing can take them away from us. Dad is getting excited for next week and i cant wait to get him back up in the woods.
We will be packing on monday and tuesday then my dad, uncle and brother are headed over to start setting up the big elk camp.
CANT WAIT!!! The rest of us will be over to camp on thursday or friday. Then not be home till NOV 6th. :hello:
Good luck to all!!!

Got back from gen. mule deer camp last night and I had 3 different emotions running thru my head.
Frustration, Motivation, Anxiety.
Here was our tally.
We saw:
6 very nice DEAD bucks hanging
1 HUGE 7x7 160" Mule Deer-Photos, killed during Muzzleloader season down the same road we walked down.
4 does
8 turkeys
10 ELK
29 Timber Tigers
3 black stump bears
All in all we had an amazing mule deer general season. We still have 1 maybe 2 more deer hunts planned (muzzy and archery) and hopefully we can financially be able to take them.
Gotta love the Multi season tags. Been huntin almost every weekend since Sept 1st.
We hiked and discovered a lot of cool areas and found some very cool spots that should prove valuable this next two weeks for ELK.
The one thing that i really have enjoyed by going to the same area in the woods for the past 4 weekends in a row is the changing of the seasons, leaves and weather. The leaves in this area are such a golden bright yellow and red that you just have to stop and look.
The aspens are my favorite. :tup:
Tonight we begin repacking for the BIG elk camp trip. Grocery shopping tomorrow and camp set up on wednesday.
10 Days in the woods chasing elk.... Cant wait!!! :IBCOOL:
I have also really enjoyed the time with my little lady in the woods.
She is becoming quite the little Hunter. :cmp1:
Here is a few photos from this past friday-sun trip.
Enjoy. :brew:

Dang! I want to go camping with you guys sometime! Do you mind if I bring a rifle because I also like to hunt some too.
Post by: backwoods_boy on October 24, 2011, 03:19:10 PM
Where do I send my application to join the Backwoods Hunting Team? Nice looking camp and area!Glad to know that not just the KILL is what people consider a good camp.
We have made tons of memories and that's what counts.
Our camps are always open to visitors.

:yeah:Visit anytime. Bring a gun if you like, but i must ask that you leave your bullets at home. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Your a lucky man backwoods, I truely envy you, I wish the family was close enough to have a camp like that. Good luck to ya during ELK season, keep the post coming I really enjoy them. Be careful out there, Oh yeah, when you said 29 timber tigers earlier in the post, were you serious, 29 cougars?
This was a new term to me until recently, but I think 'timber tiger' refers to either squirrels or chipmunks.
