MULEPACKHUNTER

Looks like a blast. Do it

Air fare will be more than 3000,00 I'm sure. My wife went out to visit a few years back and flight was over 4k for 1 person. Maybe she flew first class and tricked me? I have her video and pics and we have good friends there, I will be making the trip next time. Not sure bout hunting but fishing for sure. Have a great trip. Feb is when she went and it was spring time there I believe.

Very nice great work everyone

Congrats buddy

Holy cow, super congrats to all on a great set of hunts.

I'm shooting Hoyt rampage right now and I have a buddy wanting to buy it since he loves it so I have been shopping.

Very nice.

I think the main reason i was going knight was price but ill try the icon thanks

5bs

Man where to start, story is way too long and Im sure most on here have heard alot of the same stories so heres the condensed version, over 14,000 trail cam photos since June, new hunting area for us, tons of mule miles, tons of foot miles, tons of elk, great freinds, great elk camp, good food, lots of opportunities on bulls, nothing on the ground but it really was a great trip. Cant wait for a tag of my own or heck even another buddies tag. Have fun out there.

Great trips congrats

Hey can we keep this hunting related please. Foozball? Who watches that stuff anymore

I did that hunt as a leftover same as your doing a few years ago, I had never been down there. I did some serious hiking for a few days and then stayed closer to camp for a few. I glassed hard, hiked hard, drove hard, zero deer. Not even a doe. Only doe I saw was very young crossing the road at night headed back to camp. I did see several bears including the largest I have seen to date. I saw only 1 group of north bound hikers. I ran into 2 other hunters but pressure was low for me. Beautiful country but lots of cows and ranch fences. I would go again and maybe work the east side of the range since the west side was not great for me. I believe I camped at turkey creek camp. I was solo as well.

Ya looks like rattle snake

Very nice congrats

Spent yesterday on the road with my pops and we talked over games we had been to together and ones we used to watch. Good guy to remember with dad.

I rode in 20a a few trips and saw a lot of of deer. Several bucks.

Ouch, nice hunt but I'm pretty sure rifle squirl is not open season. FYI archery only right now. Guess if it was in October your good to make stew though. Congrats

Your just going to have to look at videos and maybe go to a high end pack shop and learn . could be your pack and could be the fit and adjustment. You don't need 500 dollar pack but most of the time you do get what you pay for. The hiking shack is good, summit hut is better. Rei is hit or miss, trick is to find a backpacker at rei if you go there. All will have good load carrying packs and can show you how to adjust and fit.

Congrats very nice

Ya I'm going to have to get me a deep freeze so I can do the jugs. Figured on waiting til I have an elk tag but may be needed sooner.

I was considering a high end cooler purchase but time got in the way and I never made it out to shop one down, I stopped at Costco to duplicate my 125 qt coleman for 89.00 bucks I got there 6 years ago but the halloween crap pushed the outdoor items out of the store. Oh well I was hoping to need it for half an elk so I stopped at wallmart and grabbed a coleman 120 qt extreme for 58.00 and here is how it went. I put 5 blocks of ice and 1 10 lb bag of loose in it and some food and drinks and tossed it in the trailer. That was on wed 9-9-2015, well since we were hunting hard it was not opened often but dailey and i looked in there in my garage last night and it still had ice in it!!!! It was kept in the shade and thats it. So 9 days and still ice if you manage it well and fill it. Going to grab 1 more for deer season. Hunt was in 5BS and temps ran from 45 to 80.

How many times have you been bugled in by other hunters? LOL we got it 2 times by the same guy. Man he was a stud on the tube. LOL Bet he gets tired of guys coming in and not bulls. I called in 1 guy myself. He was Pissed, one heck of a climb. HA HA Never really thought about it until it happened. We also had a guy put us on a bull or 2 with his calls that were pushing bulls away from him and to us. They were talking back to his calls but they were moving away from him. LOL I was very conscious of calling and used it sparingly. I think i hit the tube 6 times in 8 days. I used the cow calls more but still not much. Only managed a spike with the cow calls.

Ok up at 3 am grab coffee heat up burrito and hit the road. Trailhead at 3:45 eat burrito drink coffee. Load pack up and hit the trail by 4:15 am and slowly walk in the dark adjusting to the light listening for bugles. How do some others get in early morning without breaking your neck? Figured headlamps was bad idea.
