Washington fall bear!

Nice bear James!

Well after some scouting, it looks like littlebuf and myself are changing our plans for Labor Day weekend.

We were planning on doing a deer scouting/ bear hunting trip. Looks like now littlebuf is going to bring his bow with us and we are going to a different honey hole to target a buck that dirtytough has been video taping since 2007. The buck has been a 4x4 for at least six years now and is definitely getting old. So instead of targeting bears as our number one, we will be trying to get this old buck. If things go really good, I should be able to take a bear too but we'll see. I really hope we can get this buck on the ground this year because he has been eluding us for a long time now.

I'm planning on hunting all the weekends in September.

That's my plan! Hunting the first two weeks of Sept. for elk and the last two for the high hunt. I hope I get a shot at something. My wife is fine with me being gone every weekend for a month. Kind of surprises me. She never even cares that I'm going solo.

Cows and little three points, here I come, ha ha.

Maybe I'll bump into you guys at a trailhead. If you see a little hooptie red Dakota with a canopy and rack then you'll know I'm nearby.

Good luck you guys, go slam him!

Hell with the weekends I'm flat not working in September. I think we should hit that basin we were looking at third weekend in September Justin. Could likely pull a deer and a bear out of that one too

 

[Justin Crossley]

Are you talking September 20-22? That would work for me I think.

 

[littlebuf]

When ever you can go I can go

Nice buck Justin. I hope one of you guys let the air out of him.

 

[Justin Crossley]

Thanks Ken. That buck is one of our favorites because we have been seeing him for a long time. There are a couple other good bucks in the area too so it should be a fun trip.

 

[littlebuf]

I'm over here now. Don't think the kids are up for the hike though

Lot's of Washington guys heading out this weekend. Should be some good stories and pictures on the way! Dirtytough left on a solo trip today so hopefully he will be tagging a nice bear this weekend. He said he was going to try and do about 11 miles this afternoon so he can check out a good basin until dark and then hike another 4 miles tonight in the dark so he can glass another spot tomorrow morning.

Littlebuf, BrockA and myself will be leaving next weekend for our (hopefully) epic adventure. Not sure how I will make it through next week at work. This is my favorite time of year!

is Rob hunting this weekend too? he needs to get on this site by the way

 

[Justin Crossley]

Yeah, he met our buddy Paul from Pullman this morning for a four day hunt. I keep telling him to get on here but he has been pretty busy.

I talked to him right before they hit the trailhead today and they have a pretty good hunt planned I think.

 

[littlebuf]

I say we leave Thursday, Boeing will understand. im getting pretty freakin antsy

Good luck guys.

I talked to Rob a while ago. He and Paul awoke to rain and low clouds. They couldn't see anything with the low visibility. The forecast for the area said the weather wasn't going to get better so they decided to hike out early. They saw a few deer last night but no bears.

I haven't heard from anyone else yet.
