Hey, that's a cute picture of you holding that bait fish. <br><br>~ Life is good on the wet side of the Cascades Dave

 

My youngest son that lives in SLC area in Elk hunting in John Day, OR area with his friends from Grants Pass.

 

98ram<br><br>Cool pics, we have an ODFW refuge near me at Jewell. The big &quot;bachelor bull&quot; herd has assembled there now. Drives the elk hunters crazy to see about 40-50 huge bulls in one field!<br><br>I bet I know the guy feeds those elk you pictured, he is the Captain in charge of Washington Game there. <br><br>Small world we live in<br><br>Your son do any good elking Phil?<br><br>I am just walking out the door to go hunting myself, season opened yesterday and I am trying to kick walking pneumonia (sp?)<br><br>Have a good one boys<br><br>Hunter

 

Hunter, my pic wasn't taken in Oregon, not in season when I shot the pic. You can tell by the look on elk he wasn't afraid. Right here in my yard there are two or three big bucks come right up and try to stare me down. They know they are safe here.<br><br>My son bags an elk about 3 out of 4 years. His group he goes with share the meat. If one doesn't get an elk at least he gets a share of meat. Poorest year he only came home with 1/2 elk as they got 2 elk between the four.<br><br>Had to shoo two wild turkey hens away from my Ram this morning,. They were trying to decide if it was something they could eat.

Actually, I'm jealous.<br><br>~Dave

 

the fish on the west side can be bigger, but you cannot beat catching 10-12 pound steelhead over here in 1 foot of water on a flyrod. Most days you will only see one or two other fisherman on the stream. I just have no desire to move to that side of the mountains, I apsolutely hate the traffic. I guess it might not be so bad once you get use to it though.

But I agree, from Marysville to south of Tacoma is way too much for me. Almost a continuous city. The only way to beat the flyrod catch is if you do it with 1-2 lb tippets. Now that's a kick. Needless to say, I'm a catch and release fisherman. It's a good excuse anyway. Well, I was gonna let that one go anyhow!!!<br><br>~Dave
