    Funny Hunter Quotes/Lingo

    A cat 'round these parts refers to heart, liver, and other internal organs as "wobbly bits". "When you gut that sucker save the wobbly bits for me." I loathe hearing some peckerwood on a tv hunt setting up for an eleventy hun'red fiddy yard shot and just ever so matter of factly whispers...

    Wild-ness, does it matter, or how much does it matter?

    I live on Whidbey Island, about 3 miles from one of the release sites. Drive by it every single day, at least twice. There will be 30 rigs parked there, and a sea of orange vests out there... and about 80% of the birds are across the road on the neighbors private property. You'll see at least...

    Wild-ness, does it matter, or how much does it matter?

    Being on the west side of Washington State, the pheasant release sites are even worse. When you buy your license, you pick "odd or even", and can only hunt the sites on odd or even days. The birds look like hen pecked Foster Farms rejects. I haven't pheasant hunted in 20+ years. Gary

    ATV Off-Trail/Road Rules in Wyoming?

    We just experienced "off trail" ATV riders in our unit this year. Where we hunt all of the designated trails are off limits to ATV's because of the damage they do. But there is always at least one cat every year that is up where they aren't supposed to be "hunting" on their ATV. I know this...

    How "Tied In" Are You To Your Hunting Area?

    I started hunting this unit in WA State since the fall of 1991 when I got back from Desert Storm. I had transferred to NAS Whidbey Island (active duty USN) and befriended one of the older DoD civilian workers there. He invited me along on an elk hunt and that's where it all started for me. The...

    Timber Hunting For Elk

    Thanks! As we sat in one spot we always sit at for a spell, a cow elk appeared out of nowhere at about 60 yards from us. She craned her neck around some small cedar trees and I whispered to my wife that there was an elk peeking through the trees. The cow never saw us, but she instinctively...

    Timber Hunting For Elk

    Just got home from our hunt in Eastern WA (Spike only... ugh). I hunted the timber pretty much every day. I just love being in there. Jumped some cows and even came upon a cow nursing a calf. But alas... no spikes afoot. I dont usually take pictures of anything on my hunts. But snapped a couple...

    Timber Hunting For Elk

    I hunt in the Central Cascades of WA State... it's almost always wet. LOL. I'd prefer the snow, but most years we don't have much dry terrain. Gary

    Pretty ridiculous hunter-assist story on my 2019 bull!

    Not all heros wear capes. Gives me hope for this world when I hear there are still awesome people in the woods helping others. Congrats on your bull and a great story to go with it! Gary

    Final Preparations (WA Spike Elk)

    This is my favorite time of year. Making ready for elk camp. We leave in 8 days for eastern WA rifle season, and I get more excited as each day passes. Just as I have done for 30+ years of hunting elk. Even though, we have the odds greatly stacked against us for any kind of success on an...

    270win ammo

    I've been shooting the ol' 150 Core-lokts for decades out of my .270 and they've worked every time. My rifle is an old 1964 Husqvarna with a Mauser action. Gary

    No idea how to give up

    I live in Western WA, and harvest a deer about every year or 2. If you're just out walking in the woods hoping to find game. You're hunting the wrong areas. You have to do your homework, and have to hunt where the deer are. WDFW has a lot of hrvest and habitat info on their website. Winter...

    First elk...

    Quite a few, until I was invited on a WA muzzleloader hunt and drew a cow tag. Ended up taking 3 in 3 years. 2 cows and a spike. Now the area is all infested with too many hunters and locked gates. Been searching for a new area for quite a few years, but haven't settled on anything as of...

    Divorce, do you ever see it coming...

    I saw mine with my first wife coming, and still stayed another 11 years. 14 years total. Finally couldn't take it anymore... it was hard, but in the long run, was the best thing that ever happened to me. She despised hunting season, and we never really clicked on a few other things. that was...

    Timber Hunting For Elk

    I hunted The Lolo Unit for elk last year in ID as an out of state hunter (We decided to go to ID very late in the year and that was the only area still available OTC). We pounded Smith Ridge and it was the first time I heard an elk bugle during rifle season. Coming from WA we get the post rut...

    Hello From Washington State
