Met Craig, the bio, this past hunting season, when he came into our camp in the Tendoys. He pointed out the advancement downslope of the white pine and Douglas fir forest. Mountain mahogany was grazed beyond reach of deer. Quite a lesson especially comparing timber line now with old photos of...
Check out Lonesome Creek Resort in La Push, WA.. Little wilder coast than Ocean Shores. Good local seafood and good bottom fishing in June. Lots of good hikes. Hoh river rainforest is great place to see Roosevelt elk. Kalaloch lodge, a little tamer, but nice cabins overlooking ocean. Chito Beach...
Got my pup locally, Vom Hoko kennels. Some nice dogs out of Brewster, Omak, Chelewah.
Got to say that those Utah boys are really into it and are breeding some nice dogs. Not real active in the VDD at the moment, but really admire the energy and dedication they put in.
I'm looking into another...
Lots of them over the hill in the Sage Creek drainage. Also west side of Clark Canyon reservoir.
Tested with the DD group down in Malta Idaho, lots of Jacks on the BLM.
I know your excitement.
We left the Madison drainage 25 years ago to chase our dream of living in Alaska, finally settling on the coast of the Olympic Peninsula.
We're now moving Sheridan, over the hill from Ennis. Less wind and closer to our kids and grandchildren in Dillon, and the rest of...
I killed my first elk up Papoose about 35 years ago. Got to the trailhead late on a sunny Saturday morning Parking lot was packed to overflow. Forgot my binoculars and lunch. Walked up the trail with little confidence. About two miles in couple cows standing there looking at me. One shot and the...
Really like those stainless no.1s. Hope to pickup a stainless 7mag some day.
Here's my 7mag, early non-prefix, made in 1967 I believe.
Killed its share of game over the years. Another gun spending too much time in the safe

Thanks for the encouragement.
Nice pics of your Parker and birds.
I may have a few more years trailing a bird dog ahead of me, yet.
We have a small place in Sheridan. Always thought we wanted to be closer to the kids in Dillon, but after our last stay, we realize that Dillon may be too much...
Actually the old scale, and everything in the house, and the house is for sale. We're downsizing and moving to the Ruby Valley. Need be closer to kids, grandkids, and rest of the family.
Cedar house on 5+ acres, Sol Duc river front, steelhead fishing out the front door.
Slightly over 6 pounds.
I've got some regret putting this on the market. My wife is threatening to get a DD puppy just to get me out of the easy chair.

I live on the Sol Duc river, about 45 minutes from where you are staying. May is a bit of a shoulder season here, but some fishing to be done.
Halibut and bottomfish charters out of Neah Bay or LaPush. Jim Richeson out of LaPush. Jambo out of Neah Bay, but there are others.
Most rivers are...
Very nice shooter Parker. I haven't used this since my wirehair died close to 20 years ago. Stuck in the safe since then. Never have sold any of my guns, but... Old age, medical issues, etc.. This shotgun needs to go to someone who'll appreciate and hunt this gun.
Thanks
