Its all good we will be at the upper end of the Napeequa. There's a nice camp site there. We should be away from most people. Like mentioned we have it scouted and hopefully be packing some meat out. Only staying a week but that should be ample time.

 :rolleyes:   Sigh.  That's a really...:bdid:

Don't want to pop your Hope and Dream Balloons, but you should probably re-read my initial post and opt for Plan B.

Sent you a PM.

Sucks because that’s exactly where me and a few buddies are planning to be... I hope you guys are joking, otherwise please help us pack our bucks out?

Haha! Hey, I can be bought if you bring enough bucks. Don't know about the other 23 people in the pumpkin patch.  :dunno: :chuckle:

Maybe I'll poke my head over and wave.

Hey maybe you should join us in the upper Napeequa one of the guys in our group might be backing out after he heard that someone was trying dissuade us from hunting there. But we are a pretty determined group and we will have some supplies stashed up there ahead of our hunt.  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

Disinformation campaign?  Well, it's High Buck after all, so...  ;)

People trying to get each others' goats with some good old fashioned trolling?  What would an internet hunting forum with mostly anonymous dudes be without it? Just think of the massive decline in popcorn sales if they didn't exist!  :chuckle:

Bluffing?...Oh, that goes without saying.

But by all means, let's keep wagering.  :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:

100% sure, I was just in there scouting my 3rd trip in. I wanted to catch the bucks before they lost their velvet as they will stay out of the brush then. The valley is choked with slide alder but you can get a feel for whats there when they are in velvet. Totally jacked about hunting there. Know of some guys that have done pretty good there in the past. There's always Stans group that stumble around in there.

The little fellas hold on to it that long 50/50 IME but the bigger bucks definitely are thrashing shrubs this week and maybe earlier.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I killed a big old buck in full velvet on opening day up there. He was with 3 other bucks, 2 rubbed clean and 2 in full velvet still. My buddy killed the other big one and he was rubbed clean already.
