Well ladies and gentlemen,
I haven't been on this forum in over 8 years, man it has been a long time, I even have a new name, mostly because I have no idea what my old name was LOL. But... I am back again! It has been a struggle holding things together, my depression took me down a long and dark road, and things got pretty ugly, but now I am able to hunt again! I got a new fancy hip from a fantastic surgeon and I am ready to go. Thanks to my military disability I got me a tag in the beautiful state of Idaho, and I decided to test myself in a unit I hear an awful lot of crying about... (makes ghost sounds)
the selway!
So, if you have anything NICE to say about it... Please say it here.
I am limited to about 3 mile hike in from my main camp. From there I can hike about 2 miles of hunting, so that gives me 5 miles to hike the meat out (at a max). It is going to be pretty rough terrain, i understand this. I have a friend coming with me to help hump the meat out, he is able bodied and also military. I can probably add another mile or so, but lets be honest... im getting older.
I have a deer tag (so I will shoot a mule deer) as well as a Bear tag, I will only shoot one with a nice coat. I am not looking for a monster bull, just something with antlers and meat. This will be my first antlered bull.
Any ideas on where to start? I know that Paradise camp is where the outfitters put in, so probably pretty busy there, maybe i should start a little lower? Indian? should i swing further towards Montana?
Thanks everyone! I hope you all have the best luck this year!!!
Hold my beer and watch this #####...
