The Hermit

I am not complaining here just sharing... I am writing this short trip up as a serious field test for my new truck (performed perfectly) and for setting up my wall tent and camp solo, do-able with a litlle work and patience... it was a beotch taking it down in the rain though!
I have an LEH Bull draw so was in 7-16 zone B which is a smallish area with few roads, lots of deep swamp and the thickest overgrown crap to try and walk in ever... what a mess. Ha! When out humping around I saw a few tracks, no moose what so ever, no droppings, no rubs, no stink holes, no deer, no bear, two squirrels, and a few chickens. Oh and about a thousand other hunters!
I am sure there are lots of great spots to get into in the area but as a solo trip with limited time I tended to stay within a kilometer of the roads for fear I might actually shoot a bull! :-) I think the area north of the Cuchinca would be productive with enough time.
So lesson learned... everone knows that if at all possible we should get out to the intended area prior to putting in for the draw. Yes this is obvious but when you live 500 miles away it is pretty unrealistic so ya takes yer chances and ya pays yer dues.
