Hunting Forum

Hey Terry, I just stopped by the thread to see what has been going on. I hope Ray gets his computer problem fixed. I miss him on here. I haven't been on here in along time. I am glad you are going to see Dean someday soon. The last year and a half has been busy here at the ole factory. I had over 900 hours of overtime last year, and will probably beat that number this year. Good luck on this years hunt.

Hey guys, i know tht the annual thing is not happening but i will be there at the boat launch agin this year. Any of you in the area come on by. My camp will be the 26 foot cougar pull trailer and white Ford F250.

well good luck out there this year. Coby and i are heading to Kentucky for a whitetail hunt in november but would like to get back out to idaho next year.

Ray,
Thank you as well for giving me the call the other night it was good to hear from you even under those circumstances. I talked with Coby and our prayers and thoughts are will Marci and the kids and all the people that James had touched with his great generosity and helpful nature. He will be greatly missed.

Ray, glad to see you back online again. Thank you for the call last night. Wish we could've talked longer, but work gets in the way too often, don't it? Man, I hate working the late-shift, but at least I'm still working.

Call me when you can. You got names and addreses of where we can send a card? PM me if you don't want to post that info.

I love you brother James.  Keep on, Keeping on!!!!  Lots of great memories of James, Marci and the kids running around camp.  They always kept it lively in a good sort of way.    Thanks for letting me know the other day, Ray.  I always think about the good time I had with you guys out on the Dworshak.  Thanks for sharing a campfire with me fellas.

I was sad to hear of this got a chance to see and talk to him lasting hunting season up there by Grandad. My thoughts and prayers to the family. I will think of him this year when i get the big bull down. Is anyone going to be up in that area hunting this year? Look forward to seeing anyone that does. at least stoop by and say Hi.

keep us informed on what is seen and harvested up at grandad this year guys...  Coby and i would like to plan on being back out there next year, i know we have tried in the past but hope to have better luck next season.  We are headed to Kentucky in a few weeks for the whitetail rut hunt.  I hope things go as planned for that. 

any updates from grandad yet?

My wife and I spent a few days with Ray and Vicki. Ray was talking with a buddy of his. He told Ray to forget everything he learned about hunting elk at Grandad because it was time to relearn the process.

I'll let Ray explain in more detail, if he wants, but it doesn't sound good. We may have to come up with new / different strategies to hunt that area.

Ok brother Ray. lets hear what is going on up at ale grandad. Thanks for the heads up Craig.

Hunting with the wolves does make it harder to find the Elk. The Bulls if they do at all only bugle once. The bulls have all gone down into the thick and nasty and hang there all the time. they do not or did not answer to any of my cow or bull calls. I shot a 90 pound female wolf opening morning of elk seaon just above where Mike got his spike in 05. I did see elk every day but it was only one or two cows hanging close tot he brush. In seven days i probably saw 20 head total, most under 200 yards. I did however connect with a six point on the hairpin turn just above the boat launch, him, six cows and a spike stood there long enough for me to get a shot off. Made the packing job real easy.

i kinda figured the wolves were going to make things harder on us. congrats on the bull. so it forces us to hunt the dark timber now.

how are things looking out there this spring? Are you around Brother Ray?

Ray...where are you?

Well, VA did it! They reduced my 30% rating down to 0% so the appeals war begins. Unfortunately, they're so far behind on appeals that they won't even begin the review process until some time next year. The waiting game begins.

Craig,
did you make it up to the hunting grounds in 2012?
