As always, a great read and great adventure. Thanks for taking the time to write it out. I know that takes great effort when you've got piles of work to catch up on. Good to see you around Rusty! Hope to see all of you very soon! CK

Great job on the story guys. I miss some parts of elk hunting, other parts I'll leave to younger guys with stronger legs and healthier lungs.

Thanks for taking us along.   :notworthy:

I found it rather telling that the local hunters we talked to all commented on the lack of deer they were seeing.  Now it is true that we did not see the deer number we saw at our old hunting area but I did see a number of deer.  The noteable difference was that most of the locals hunted from an ATV (I got nothing against them).  A number of these hunters hunted from the roads while driving their ATV's.  

Mike has a rule - you hunt at least one mile from the road.  Hmmmmmmmmm all the deer I saw were.......about one mile from the road.  Most of the elk that Mike and Jason were into were....one mile from the road.    :)    


So if you get to a hunting area and find a flock of ATV's, don't guss them.  This be thankful becuase you now know exactly where your query is....one mile from the road.

We got a "hunter tent" from The Wall Tent Shop in Moscow, ID.

The overhangs were real nice during the extended rain storm.

Mike, Jason and Rusty....Once again THANK YOU. First for taking the time to make the meeting happen. Rusty is a VERY good cook. For me this was another milestone for this season.

And secondly, I know just how much time these little tales take to produce for us folks, so we are able to be there with ya. Thanks Buds lets do her again
