Steelhead, nice country...lots of heavy bush for sure.
JO, I've killed a lot of big game in the timber.
Gorgeous animal!
That "timber" looks about like the part of eastern Oregon where I hunt elk... Not what I'm talking about at all.
It's not worth fighting over. You might very well do just fine hunting "cold" where I hunt. I know for a fact that hunting cold would cost me animals- and how well others hunt doesn't fill my freezer, you know?
By the way- the profile for the militant "cold" guys is that they hunt open country, or in game-rich areas with lots of easy tags. Just saying, my circumstances are different.
