Dang it!!! Sorry I missed your message. I hope you did all right. I had that tag two years a go and I was in there in Sept...The sheep were high and the rattlesnakes were horrible. Flew into the "flying B" and then for opener hiked from Myers Cove in 17mi. And my 2- sheep hunters struck out!!! I...

I just came out, also flew into the "B" in late August. The Elk numbers look really good to me. Deer we're hit a little harder, but good bucks still back there. The sheep were really high in August and the rattlesnakes are horrible. Good trips only encountered a few wolves, but they are getting...

Hey, I'm here, sorry, I was doing a grueling 17mi. Sheep hunt in from Myers Cove, and also flew in in August. Also I just came back from guiding some elk and deer hunters into that area.....so what's up my man!!!!

Bryan,.. Really!! I think it would be very hard to get dressed inside there!!! Also do you realize how hard it is to climb into that thing. But it would definitely rock you to sleep!!!?

Hey hunters, I'm flying down middle fk. tomorrow with middle fork Aviation, so I will tell you how it goes, and what I see. The reports from airstrips on the river aren't good "dead elk everywhere".... I will try to post some pics, but haven't figured that out yet. It's 450/hr four 4 people or 2...

Ok gentlemen: The biggest problem with all these packs to me is. They won't stand up by themselves!!! I'm carrying 60-70 lbs of meat,horns,gear, or whatever up a rock slide and cannot set it down and walk off to glass, and over it goes again... It's Maddening . So I did weld alum. Pegs on...

Shedy:I watched the video...Wow, I have to have one!!! Whipsnake!! Ya, I'm in!......I started with a Gregory,nice but no way to haul rifle. Eberlestock J107, good for 2-3 days, but it rides way to low, and it will break you're back if you put more than 50lbs. in it. I went external frame...

I say Bring those electronic buzzards in my area....Please....And we are going to play a game of: can you Dodge the 7mm bullet, and can I get the lead time, right on that drone!!! This could be fun!!! ..No Drones!!! There is a line,and a limit.!!!

Sick sheds; OK that's it I'm going out there!!! I just might have to bring a snow shovel,too much snow in Idaho. Keep it up guys, your giving me some hope!!! This dang winter just won't Stop!!!!

I really fought the trekking poles, until a Freind said " put that pack on, climb those stairs and don't use the handrails" OK now climb it with the handrails...Also with a very heavy pack going steep downhill, it will save you from a knee or ankle injury!!! I won't leave the trailhead without...

Sorry for the spelling-Tatonka, also Kelty makes some good sturdy freight haulers?? Never tried them yet, though.

Just a few ideas,Tatonca is a really good pack also every guide in Alaska uses a Barney's pack, and I have found out the hard way Eberlestock are crap for packing any load. Although they are well made otherwise. I ended up taking a cheap frame (Alpz Freighter) and adding on aluminum bottom shelf...

Wow...OK now I'm wanting to get out there, what a stud of a bull!!

I'm going in to wilderness end of March, flyover. Then mid April and back in mid may for spring bear..Yes pm me!!

Jake I'm heading in September,my advice go in one of the trailheads. The landing strips get overrun with outfitters. > >I've been looking into doing a >Backcountry mule deer hunt in >the great state of Idaho >and another member said that >you can get a plane >ride into unit 27...
