I guess I'm going to have to put back on that 60#s I've recently lost so I can at least pack out some elk quarters this fall.

While we were using up time in Maine after a 15 minute moose hunt, with several days before return flights, we decided to hike Katahdin. The lady at the gate turned us away because we had missed the latest start time by 15 minutes (who knew there was a cut-off?). It was for our safety.

I think the USFS should have similar gatekeepers at the trailheads for the unlimited hunt and turn you away if your pack is too heavy based on someone’s criteria. It would be for your safety.

Hey now, this isn't Wyoming! Our Wilderness is a safer and kinder Wilderness.

Stay safe this year boys. Don’t over do it.

I weigh a solid 160. Looks like 2/3 day hunts for me. Shooting something is a problem.

So I should bring along a fat friend?

Yeah, this seems to be indicating that I could carry everyone's pack, and I'm sure that's not the case.

I resemble that remark...

 

[Drummond33]

Careful guys, this could be misconstrued as justification to shoot a lamb...

You know, the biggest threat to the future of these hunts would be if they make it easier to film in the wilderness areas. If that happens it will be over before you can blink. Along with some other great wilderness oppurtunities in this state.

Everyone better start researching any main access point they would use to get into the districts. I imagine there will be access at some point if there isn't already but, sure puts a whole new spin on things to.....

Yep, I have a feeling access is going to be choked down a little bit. May the fastest hiker win?

Break a leg....

Perhaps everyone should stay home. I’ll go check out the access situation and report back in November.

Well......

If you have a region 5 tag basically every major access point besides a couple are pretty much smoked right now.

Including the pass

If you're accessing the Boulder River Road into the Beartooths I just talked to the Forest Service. It'll be open to Box Canyon at any rate, but the bridge about 2-1/2 miles upstream of there is gone and the guy I talked to said it was very doubtful it will be replaced this year.

I have a lot of family in the Billings/Redlodge area. It's pretty crazy the amount of damage along the Beartooth face.

 

[winmag]

Crazy 180 degree change from the drought and smoke the last two summers up there.

There’s still plenty of time for smoke. Let’s not jinx it just yet!

Only 83.5 days till ram season.

Only the ram knows.....
