Going through the tunnel , 1.6 miles long, very cool. Then on the first day we went out to get use to the air and stretch our legs, about a mile from camp we found bear sign, he was eating on a big patch of blue berry's , beautiful country as you can see. :) We always get there a day or 2 early before season to acclimate to the thin air. We base camp at about 8200 feet and hunt between 900/10,500 so the air is thin. :)

They even have some small oaks, our first morning out we ran in elk, small bull got close but not legal, and a cow that came in but winded me before she got into range. ???

Our base camp set up and then view from spike camp about 3 miles up the mountain. Base camp was like being at home, spike camp not so much. ;) :) Came a storm the 2nd day with hail and hard rain, had to trench around the base camp tent. :)

Pappy:
Stayed at the spike camp 3 days, it was a beautiful view, after 3 days the game was scarce so we decided to move to a different area closer to the big lakes.  :)

 My little buddy I seen every time I set in this spot. :) he was busy all the time. ;)We moved and hunted on a big swamp for a couple of days, seen some cows and a lot of mule deer but no tags for mule deer this year, that's the way it always seems to go. :)
