Outstanding! I really need to get up there hunting. Blacktails are gorgeous animals, looks like there are a few bruins up there too.

Great deer guys!  Some beautiful country there as well!

any problems with bear in/near camp with the deer meat??

Nice work. I've spent a little bit of time hunting the alpine myseld, and that looks like a really neat spot. I always love it when you get out in the middle of nowhere and there's a game trail the size of a highway.

Here are a few pics I've taken, while cruising the golf course.

Hey Beau good to see you here.
Only 156 days to go....
Oh yeah 164 days for you -Ha

Beauhunter those pics are too beau-tiful. Wow, what a great site for a camp. Just start hunting right out of your tent. This a hunt I need to do.

Oh, that was dirty Rich. I might just have to get a P.O. box in Craig now. Don't get ahead of yourself now. You don't want to skip over King season.

Snag, I filled my first tag this year on opening day after I heard a deer spook right outside of my tent. I crawled out into the alpine in my skivs to check it out and was plesantly surprised to find a large buck standing there.

Here is a more humble camp from a few seasons ago. This is how we go light. Got to admit, it was pretty chilly at night though.

What a grand adventure!!!  Thanks for sharing, and beautiful bucks.

I'll take a 3 seasons tent...thank you. haha  I have had muley does actually stick their head right into my tent up in the Cascades...probably wondering what all that snoring is!  Do you see many bears?

you do see a fair amount of bear in the alpine up here sometimes, and some pretty big ones too. The fact that you can see long distances helps a lot. one morning I woke up and glassed 5 bears in one bowl. needless to say...there were no deer around that time.

Thanks for the pics they were great.

I could pull up a chair and look at the view all day, what a place/places.

Again gents...WOW!!! Great pics there and awesome story.

wow awesome bucks!!!  I might have to see if I can swap a sheep hunt for a blacktail hunt
