We cut meat and did European mounts during our “atmospheric river” where we got an inch + of rain below 5ish feet and a ton of wet snow above 5500ft.

Yesterday I went with my oldest son to his prime spot. It’s a BIG hunt. 0300 wake up call and 3hrs of hiking with the headlamp through a classic NW MT jungle of soaking wet brush, downfall, regen and yes… f-cking Devils Club. We did over 15mi and 3000vert. Found some snow too. Passed on three 4pts, saw 4 bulls and heard the wolves. My ass was dragging when we got back to the truck at 2000.

Today was a solo “recovery” hunt. 6mi and 2600vert. Passed on 2 dinks.

Going back out with the big boy tomorrow.
 
Went out with my big boy today. He went over halfway with me then went out a drainage and made it back to the truck. I kept going through a few more smaller drainages then he picked me up. 10mi and a total of 3800vert. Biggest buck was a wide 3pt that was not as big as a couple bucks that we passed on Sunday.

I think I f-cked around with elk too long and missed prime time for the mulies… We’ll see if I can find a shooter in the next few days.
