eaglecaps elk hunt 09
« on: October 28, 2008, 12:17:00 PM »
howdy folks...i have had a lot of response to the hunting trip as to people wanting to go along with us..you are more than welcome to come with us but it will cost you 1500.00 per hunter and 500.00 per non hunter..thing is i need to know soon who will be going because i need to book trip with outfitter.another thing that i feel is important..if we have a group of more than 4 hunters then we will have more than one camp because it will do no good to have 7-8 guys hunting same area,my whole reason for this trip is to call ben in a bull that he will likely never have the chance at again,i have hunted elk my entire life and while yes i will have my tag thats secondary in my book of importance.i really just intend to spend the rest of my hunting career taking people hunting,i get just as much out of it seeing a first timer stick a bull as i do shooting one myself..i have talked this over with my chief (momma) and this hunt drawing will an annual event...one year for people who cannot afford it then the next year everyone can enter.i also will be getting free stuff from sponsers for winning hunter from knives and binocs to bows and whatever else i can talk'em out of.  :D   thanks for your time,good day to you fellow hunters

You sir are a true gentleman.  What a great thing to do for the trad community.  Maybe next year I will be able to collect enough money and join ya'll, just for the pleasure of meeting someone as generous as yourself.

Have you noticed that the times you don't get nothing while hunting, are usually the most fun you've ever had.

One other thing I might add is that those folks who are going will need to be in pretty decent shape to get the most out of the hunt.  I live on the foothills of the Eaglecaps (Joseph, Or) and have hiked them this summer and the are a challenge to just hike through.  I would love to go hunting with you, but probably not until next year.  I am trying to go hog hunting with my dad which will deplete my funds too much.

I have yet to kill an elk with my bow, so would love to be able to go with you year after next.  I have killed a few in Colorado, but with rifles or muzzleloaders, but never a bow.  

Good luck to all who are going and let me know if I can help in some way.  This is truly a great gesture.

"Terry in Ore"---------------how far south are you going to be hunting?  I ask because I'm hoping its far enough that when you chase the elk our way, they'll be so tired from running that they will just line up nicely for a nice close shot.   :bigsmyl:      :campfire:

That looks like the mountains here for sure and hunting those slopes can be a bit rough.  I took a 20 mile hike this last year with a pack and thought I was going to die.  Of course, I have put on a few pounds in the past couple of years.  Ok, a few more than a few.  

Again, if anyone wants to get together for breakfast, let me know.  Also, Fox Archery is just down the road in Wallowa which would not be a bad place to visit.

we can meet for breakfast or at archery shop either one is cool by me..the area we are going into is the north minam meadows which is not bad at all if you stick to the bowl area of valley.it can get steep if you go up and forget to turn around   :D  overall though its pretty nice and loads of elk.if you have google earth you can type in 'eagle cap wilderness area'and look it over...bye for now  :thumbsup:

I camped up at Glacier Lake. Those brookies and some wild onions on the eastside of the lake sure do fry up nicely! The evening entertainment was watching a band of 5 mountain goats crest the saddle to the southeast and take dust bathes in a small bowl up near the top.
