Oops I meant the link to the baiting article to the DIY group...I suppose it would be childish though

EDIT: just looked and I'm a member of that DIY group but someone already posted a link to the baiting article

20 miles? I mean after a while you're just getting closer to the other side, err somewhere else.

 

[rayporter]

and most guys will rest the first horse and ride a second every chance they get.

20 miles even on a horse is a long way in the mountains.

But he had lots of feed. Lol

Is he related to Cameron Hanes? if not I call BS

 

[sagebuster]

I bet every fish he catches along the way is at least three feet long.

No, He's Uncle Rico's son.

We have big game units here in Oregon where I doubt you can get five miles from a drivable road. Before people go back five miles from a road, they should kill one within two miles, and pack it out. With a crew it is not too bad, but I am afraid if people kill elk back ten miles it would mostly be wasted unless they have pack animals. Even then it will not be easy. Derek Ricks has very bad advise!

Im just glad someone is willing to go way back to pressure those animals closer to those of us who are less able bodied. I guess I owe my thanks to this guy for my 2.5 mile pack in to get my bull this year.

20 ‘vertical miles’. I’m sure.

Trout Creek Couple Convicted of Hunting Violations - Flathead Beacon

A Trout Creek couple paid thousands of dollars in fines after pleading guilty to multiple hunting violations in Sanders and Gallatin counties, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks announced last week. Investigators say they launched an investigation into Derek and Cheryl Coon Ricks in October 2015...

Pretty sure this is same guy...

that was his attempt at "hunting smarter not harder" haha.... he has since learned if he packs 1000's of pounds of feed 20 miles into the backcountry, nobody will find it

I don't know about Montana, but most places it's tough to get 20 miles from a road period.

when I was younger, and in pre GPS days I remember walking way into places, running into people like "WTH?" to later find I was super close to another road system, haha.

around here it's tough to get 5 miles from a road, but there is a lot of habitat in a mile of the coast going cross country, so "going deep" is relative.

You could get twenty miles in within the Bob, Frank, outside Yellowstone in WY. Never heard of anyone doing that without horses.

ya have now

The only part missing was that he hiked in 20 to set up his spike camp, and then go out 10-15 every day from there.

 

[trophyhill]

One of many reasons I don't do FB.......

 

[rodney482]

Two grossly exaggerated things

pack weight
Distance packed

 

[Carr5vols]

There is only 4 mountains in montana with a promenince of over 5000ft. So he told us exactly were to go find elk.
