Title: Goose Prairie muzzleloader permit
Post by: RG on June 10, 2012, 09:35:14 PM

After 8 years I finally got drawn, looks like I have some scouting trips ahead.  I've been hunting the Cowiche and Manastash units so this is my first time in Bumping.  I guess I better get the horses in shape.  I'm pretty excited, in fact I can't wait.

I think that is one of the best tags to get with a muzzleloader!!! That is going to be a great hunt!!

Congrats and a good area to be in during muzzy, last year it sounded like an orchestra in there and what a tune to listen to while trying to sleep, good luck and keep us posted. :tup:

Having a horse in that unit can really help a guy out! I know more then a few guys that have done well in there.

Having a horse helps but it isn't necessary.  Put in 5 to 8 miles between you and the road and you should have fun!

Sawbuck, I did find some packer pellets.  It seems like they are what I was looking for.  I think it said 12% protein so they're not too hot like some of the performance feeds they have out.  Monroe Farm and Feed had a few bags so I bought them.  Thanks
