Post by: phishisgroovin on October 25, 2011, 10:49:10 AM: this will be my last hunting season for a long time, going to go camping, sitting around a campfire and taking my rifle for walks in the woods to watch elk i cant shoot in Colockum. :bash:

none of my inlaws want to hunt outside of colockum & i am tired of only being able to take a true spike, other family members arent healthy enough to go out this year.

A pack of hotdogs feed me longer than a hunting trip does (since there are no legal animals to hunt in my known areas)

It's true, I saw the mass migration myself. Most of them have re-grouped in the blues and hanford surrounding area because of their chemical addition to the radio active grass. The plus side is, bulls are now pushing 600 inches down there. The rack gene has been mutated out of control!
