I was lucky enough to have drawn this tag this fall. I grew up in eastern Canada and have shot a lot of whitetails over years but when I moved to the PNW the dense west side hunting discouraged me and I stuck to duck hunting the first 15 years after moving here (I did a little archery hunting when I first got here). 5 years ago I got the itch to get back into big game hunting and Iāve gotten several nice deer and 2 cow elk. Iāve never shot a bull.
Iāve hunted north of LM in Keating, Ches, Imnaha, and Sled Springs but this will be my first hunt in this unit.
Next weekend Iām going to make my first trip into the unit and start the scouting process. Iām intending to make a lot of trips in August (I also need to do some scouting in Keating for my boys deer tag) with my main push for the hunt in September. Iād like to hold off to the peak of the rut to have an opportunity to hunt with a rifle while theyāre all fired up.
Iām not sure how many are interested but I intend to post how my scouting and hunting is going on this thread. I always enjoy reading and watching peoples hunts so hopefully you all might get some enjoyment out my adventures.
Iām hopeful to get an opportunity to shoot a nice bull. Regardless itās going to be a great chance for me to spend a lot of time in the field.
