Indeed it is...It’s the main reason some who’ve spent their entire life hunting these mountains practice and practice some more to be very proficient at making a solid hit off a pack, prone, with sticks, and bipods on our game animals. Many times you just can’t get closer to them without being busted or the landscape prevents closing the distance...With that said; if I can get closer, I do. I certainly don’t back up to make a hero shot. 😎

We used to do the December cow hunt in the Wilson unit when I archery hunted. Actually we called it the penalty hunt for the country shown in these pictures. In all the years I hunted that unit I never saw a day like the one you guys had. I know it has been an exceptionally dry November but that weather is still crazy! Both my boys killed their first elk there on a youth hunt and I took one cow and helped pack out half a dozen more. Your legs and lungs get a real workout in that unit.

Awesome, congrats Kingston. Glad to see the report, and images. The Wilson and Trask units are some of my favorite parts of the state. And for those that don't know, that's not an easy hunt given the hunting pressure from Portland, relatively short season, and terrain. Great job, Kingston, Beaver, and F3.

Great story, and congratulations. This may be the most accurate picture I’ve ever seen of Roosevelt country. Okie John

I love the pictures especially the one with Saddle Mountain in the background. It’s my backyard but seen through others pictures it’s a reminder of how beautiful it really is here. Taken for granted most the time because it’s what we’re used to. You done good Kingston. Lots of guys that live here only kill one or two in their lives.

My wife and I have been married for 12 years and we’ve never bought beef at the store with the exception of a nice steak here and there.
