Frank Church Mule Deer Hunt

[hjcruger]

Hi, folks. Earlier in the fall I posted on here asking about scouting for mule deer and hunting in the Frank-Church. I got some good advice, and I really appreciate that. In early October, I put a deer on the ground 8 miles from the trailhead in the Frank-Church, and I wanted to share a photo-essay that I wrote about the hunt here, but many of the pictures won't upload. In lieu of posting the photo-essay in a thread, here is a link to the post. It is largely geared toward non-hunters, as one of my primary goals in life is to teach non-hunters what our lifestyle is really about, but I think folks here might appreciate it, too.

Have fun, take care, be safe, and shoot straight.

Congrats, man. I could tell where you were from the pictures. I also saw very small deer numbers in there, no bucks for me. Great job.

You'll find more critters elsewhere but the wilderness there is pretty neat also.

Nice buck, good job! You are definitely a talented writer and I would love to hear more of your hunting stories!

Excellent work.

Great job. You earned that buck.
The Frank holds a special place in my heart, even if it doesn't have the greatest numbers of game.

Is there a way to see this without being on FB? Interested in reading it. That’s something I think our community as a whole could do a better job of, is educating the non-hunters.

Great story and hunt, well done.

Great story way to describe it. I can definitely relate to feeling guilty for leaving a hunt early.

Ahhh.. yeah I had clicked the link but not on the pictures. Appreciate it.

Very nice write up. I think a lot of guys have had the same argument with themselves when they are in the woods and nothing is happening. I always feel that I should be getting something done at home or spending time with the family rather than hunting.

Great job. Looks like big, beautiful country.
