[QUOTE="257WTBY, post: 720051, member: 56428"] I hunt WA to i did not do the high buck hunt this year i did early rifle up high on the east side. We packed in about 8 miles from the trail head. My pack and gun weighed in right at 63 lbs total. I scouted the area several times with a day pack and spotting scope. Even then this is area has a few big fuzzy mean bears so i packed along the 44 on each trip. We camped in the treeline by choice and hiked up high in the dark i used for the first time a rain fly and hammock. Will i do it again i am undecided. It was ok but i was kind of scared to move to much while i slept and one night we had a black bear in camp and i am not sure me flipping out of the hammock or the profanity that followed scared the bear the most. I will have a lighter pack but heavier rifle next year when i am finished with my 300 RUM. I learned something else valuable atleast on the east side. Next year i am sitting on one of the lower ridges coming off the mountian till i find the deer i want and shoot then i will climb the wall to get to him. That choice is how i discovered longrangehunting.com. GOOD LUCK and keep at it its addicting... [/QUOTE]
