Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting lets see some pics of camp

Really good pics

KevinT,
Wouldn't want to be down in there when the water was at that high water mark on the canyon wall!


Great pictures guys!

Me either, but we had a good forecast. The canyon was practically perfect. There was a spring coming out of the side about 100 yards away for fresh water, it was like putting your cup under a fountain.

Chetaf,

Whose camp is that in the Thorofare?

Yellowstone Outfitters. It is their "Hawks Rest" camp.

Chet

I do some guiding for Two Ocean Pass. You likely rode by our camp on your way in. I've been to the hawks rest area many times but I've never been right to that camp. Lynn is a good guy.

I take it you know Keith Covington? He is a coworker of mine.

I did ride right past your camp.

Chet

I sure do. I guess he's kind of a coworker of mine too.

Here is our chukar camp:



Here is another view of it from the top, you can just see the camp.



Same place, different year:

Good one, DBH! I guess photos like that are the upside to lugging a real camera on backpack hunts.

Can't find any of my bivy camps but here is a good ole lope camp

Here's some pics of elk camp last week in Co. unfortunately there's no elk pictures to go with it.. Trying out my new BCS from seek outside ..Worked great!!

Good eye Walker, either you viewed the EXIF or have been around cameras some. Here is a picture of my "kit". It weighed about 10 lbs. Camera is a Canon 1D MarkIV.

I've been around cameras just enough to know that weren't no smartphone pic. It takes some good equipment and know-how to compose a moonlit mountain range, a mountain house meal, msr bottle, vitamin water bottle, tent, and stars all in one frame! Heck, I think I even see a cloud in there. Is there ever a time when you loath those 10 lbs, or is photography half the hunt for you?

A few AK camps

Goin' to be awhile before smartphones can pack that size sensor and lens total track into 5mm. I think you about inventoried the whole kitchen there, could you tell it was a Hilleberg tent? I wasn't hunting, I was the historian on my buddy's hunt, so I count it as a "heavy" rifle equivalent. But to answer the question, yes I wish the load were lighter, I think it is time for a new pack!!
