lots of good ideas. the breaking trailer thing really sucks the boat trailer breaks every year and it brand new but it goes back and forth to Westport every weekend in the summer...

WE WERE invited to join a new hunt camp this year with some members of HuntWA and feel I have some new life long friends this last week.

 :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew: :brew:

I know its hard to start or get in to a good hunting camp, and for me, camp comradery is about as important as where I hunt. The people in camp can make a bad season not look so bad  :dunno:

I have to agree, it was a great time.  not only are the guys awesome, but you get to learn from the "old timers" in camp, guys who have hunted for years or who have hunted the general area forever.  and me being the only guy in camp that hadn't harvested an elk yet i got to hear different strategies, techniques, etc for hunting them and learned alot.  not to mention we get to laugh at eachother for our stupid mistakes or mishaps...lol

it's hard finding people you can hunt with due mainly to different hunting styles, ethics, weapons of choice, etc.  GASMAN and i have been hunting together for the past few years after hooking up on here for ducks.  now at least he doesn't have to drink alone....   :bdid:
Now we have more friends to hunt with during the "other" seasons...lol  can't wait to get with them for ducks/geese this year.

Yeah most us us meet at one place than travel convoy style to where will camp.
We are all on radios or Rhinos so if someone has a problem we are all there to help.

It's a awesome thing to see when some thing breaks an one or two guys can fix it.
One year the tongue broke off our utility trailer. A rancher came along an offered us the use of a welder. One of our guys welded it up and in hour we were on the road.
That's awesome, Sometimes there's good that comes out of larger groups. Little bit more ingenuity. Me and the lady are almost on the border of starting our own camp next year. Could be trial. I really don't know anyone that hunts though.

Hey, I live in Bonney lake as well and find myself hunting alone 90% of the time. I'm not from Washington but after being in the military for 7 years this is where I decided to stay, so I don't really know too many people here. Hunted last year alone and have started to hunt this year alone. I bow hunt as well.

Smossy sounds like you got some more stick throwers here to start a camp with.

Same here. Archery Elk for me... I already have my westside tag for 2013, but I could go either way next year. Either way, add me to the list.

Very cool idea- but oh so risky. My hunting partners are chosen with about as much scrutiny as my wife was. I'd love to have a camp of hunters, but it's tough to find one good hunting partner, let alone a group. Good Luck!

I select hunting partners better than I did my first wife.  First wife - alcohol, a bar, and after 1AM was the major part of the criteria.

I bet the USFS will make you get a concessionaires permit if they get wind of this.

Might as well setup a sporting goods area for ammo, bow tune ups, fix gun problems, knives etc.


I'm not being a smart arse either. Sounds like a great idea.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............
