Come along with us as we try to fill a High Country Black Bear tag as well as a High Country Buck tag in the Blue Mountains of Washington State. We went with Backcountry Hunting Guide Luke Carrick of Guiderite Adventures.
Nice jobgetting way out of your comfort zone and trying a very different kind of hunt. Surprised at the haters here. Most of them probly never really hunt. Hope you got to try it again with more experience under your belt since then
"Get your a** down here and shoot this bear!" Love it dude!! Great content Wes. Glad to hear your back in MO. We need to get together, its been a while my friend.
Technically yes it would be illegal if they were to shoot a deer since one of the hunters mentioned something about shooting a mule deer if an opportunity came. In Washington it is required to wear hunter orange if you are using modern rifle to hunt any big game except bear and cougar. But since they only shot a bear then technically no they did nothing illegal.
Thanks Luck with Guiderite Adventures, Wes with Modern Outdoor Media, Calin, and Dick for a wonderful hunt. Look forward to a return trip real soon for another hunt.
Very average washington state bear. Especially for the Blue Mtns. I’ve seen larger in the NE corner of the state but if your not in shape, it won’t happen.
These guys are the most disrespectful and annoying "Outfitters " or guides or whatever they're trying to be. That fella who was there to hunt bear did nothing except pull the trigger on their rifle. Thev did the spotting had their gun already sighted on a bear ( Of the guides choosing) and they wouldn't even let him adjust the scope for himself lol. I don't think I would like someone else to use me as a shooter for Their Hunt.
Got fuel at the General Store in Dayton, hunting the Wenaha. The simple fact that you can't even load a round in your rifle- sorry to say is pathetic. It doesn't matter how much you paid for the guide. I would have walked the first time either one of them touched my rifle. You, as a "hunter" should be prepared to handle the hunt and the situation yourself. Shooting beyond your capabilities and piss poor judgement to not wear hunter orange at any time, on both hunters and more so on the guide. Just sayin
