tahr country for me.
    http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=104207;p=8    

some of the places i've hunted water buff solo have nearly chewed me up and spat me out. heavy paperbark swamps with blowdowns and knee deep mud. the swamps of cape york are special.
my time in BC was great too.

this is the walk from the boat (boat access) to 'scrub bull creek' on cape york. old growth termite mound forest. LOL
   
by the way, does any one know how to edit the date out of the pic? it would look good framed minus the date.

Although the Bighorn and Grand Teton mountain ranges probably take the cake for me so far, I have to say the older growth areas of northern Maine that have not been victimized by clearcutting really take my breath away. I've seen some incredible views up there deep in those woods.

Yornoc,
Here are a couple of Bighorns pics since you love our range. I feel very fortunate to live within a few minutes of these pics.

Seeing these pictures and reading the descriptions its obvious "stewardship" is alive amoung trad archers.

I was just reading a biography of Fred Bear and one camp he stayed at in Alaska (I think) required all hunters to hand over the plastic bag, orange peels, wrappers and other stuff from the previous days packed lunch to obtain another days snack. Pretty good approach- those outfitters knew what they were doing.

The old growth maple hardwoods of Porcupine Mountains State Park in the UP.  Have not been there for years. Need to go back!

Lots of waterfalls up in the Porcupine area. Awesome area. That Lake Superior dishes up a brutal winter though. Snowing pretty good up there right now. Big Storm passing over, from Minneapolis to Green Bay to Canada. Maybe someone can put on a fresh picture with about 2 feet of snow. Snowshoe land!

I would have to say the mountains in Colorado would be the most beautiful woods I have been in so far. I am headed to Austrailia in a couple weeks for a Red Stag hunt and I hope I have a new favorite afte that hunt.
