2002 Hunting Summary
We are happy to say we had another
successful year in 2002. |
| Wolf Hunt |
We started with a couple winter Wolf hunters they had pretty
good luck and took a nice blue Wolf out of a pack of ten and
almost got another. At one of the other baits Wolves could be
herd howling at the bait but would leave before legal shooting
light. We saw lots of Coyotes and did a little trapping and
ski-dooing. |
| Spring Bear Hunt |
 This
spring was very late coming so I was a little worried as I had
no baits hit out of 30 for the first week but five days before
the guys got here things picked up fast. Our first group was
from Spain so we had many laughs trying to communicate but in
the end got seven bears for the four guys. The following week
we had six guys take eight bears so all in all things went good
we also took our highest percentage of color phase bears from
Chocolate to White was 80%. |
| Whitetail & Mule Deer Hunt |
 Last
week of August was the start of Archery Mule Deer and Whitetail
season. Butch was our first hunter he started off a little rough,
hitting a Buck in the front shoulder that was 30 inches wide
but we kept at it all week stalking about 3 Bucks a day and
ended up with a 160 on the last day. The next week was a lot
of fun again we stalked about three Bucks a day. Ryan shot a
160 on day three and Rick grazed a 160 low. The last day we
seen a group of six bucks the biggest was 190 but our push never
panned out. Total this season I seen five bucks with drop tines
and three clean 190 typicals. I was able to harvest a good buck
for myself that scored 217 non-typical. Very fun season. Can't
even imagine the bucks next year. The draw sure is working. |
| Rut Elk Hunt |
 Elk
was very tough this year for my two Archery hunters. I called
in a nice 6x6 to 30 yards both guys drew on him but he wouldn't
give them good angle so he was very lucky to have ethical hunters
that let him grow another year. We had a bear rip up camp and
Wolves 100 yards away the guys hunted hard all week we chased
a few but no Elk steak for us just an adventure.
Rifle Elk hunts were very tough we had four days of rain and wind, terrible conditions for calling but the guys toughed it out and ended up taking four bulls for six guys. First season with bad weather, hope for better next year, still have excellent Elk population. |
| Rut Moose Hunt |
 Rut
Moose hunts were incredible Bull Moose everywhere and good hunting
weather. Six for six the first week, and four for four for the
second week. Ten Bulls taken total with the biggest one 55 inches
wide. Lot of fun, good hunters and learned something new while
taking pictures of big moose have bullet in gun or wear running
shoes.
