Life is Good (Up in The Northwest)
Keenan:
Frank, Really looking forward to you coming down. Big your bow, if it's not finished we can head out to the shop and do whatever. We can also rattle Juniper Junkies cage and Blacktail as well and get a few people together.
About the Muley, there is a late Blacktail hunt that is mostly on the west side of the Cascades during that time. The upper part of the state is starts Nov.22th And the southwestern is Nov.15.
Bear and cougar are open as well.
Pappy:

Sounds like a good time and to get a little hunting and bow building in to boot,Can't
do better than that. :)

Keenan I will have my B.L. with me on the trip.I reckon I will Have to bring some arrow materials with me as well just in case.Thank you for the invite.If I make it down there I will definitely let you know I'm down there a little ahead of time.The itinerary is pretty loose right now.
I hope to get some kinda Muley deer hunt in somewhere's, but right now it is just a hope. I just want to hunt out of the rain for a few days.See some open country and a few of my favorite deer.(At least take a few pictures of them)
Surprisingly we got Snow flurries here today,might get out for a little hunt tomorrow morning.(Sitka blacktails) This will make the brown bears start thinking seriously about going into the den.
You Tennesseans seem to be having a fine fall.I hope all continues to be good.It sure looks from the post like you guy's are having some fine times down there.I hope to make it down there sometime to meet some of you and cook you up some Halibut. Ha ! You guy's look like you could use some food.
Then yes indeed,I will post some photo's and such while on the journey. Frank

Winter has come to Hoonah. Three days ago it was fall. Snowed 3 or 4 inches yesterday,so went out to the hills to look for deer.
My wife (Margie Anne) saw one waay up in the top of a clearcut,so I worked my way up there to take a look,turned out to be a button buck,passed on him but he kept looking over into a patch of spruce saplings,so thought there was probably a deer in there,but it never showed.(mighta been his mamma). saw another deer in the same clear cut but it was looking at me and walked off into a alder thicket and on up into the big timber,let it go on as it was getting close to dark.I was at the bottom of the cut and he was up at the top.Our cut's are on very steep hill's here.(Everything is on steep hills here) You pull yourself up hanging on to bushes and young tree's or walking up the plunge creeks( and/or both).
Snowing again this morning,will prabably head back up there and see what is going on.
Good day to all. Frank
