Six-Two-Five Delta, if anyone has intimate knowledge they'd like to share. PM's are fine with the juicy stuff!

[BromBones]

Nice country up there.

Whoa, Dude! That's totally awesome! Congratulations! Best of luck on your hunt. Looking forward to an epic thread this fall.

[The Dude]

Thx for the PM, Brombones, you're what this website is about, Hunters helping hunters. Can't thank you enough.

Not a problem.

Good luck on the hunt.

[sae]

bring a boat ,i dont know how many times i have been there and needed a boat , i have seen many sheep low down on the surprise lake rd in among the knobs so dont just blast through to get to the hills ,mind you i hunt there after oct so they are starting to get pushed down , i dont hunt moose there anymore since the gold mines kicked up again , put in for a caraboo tag to the are everywhere big herds up high in the snow ...good luck

[The Dude]

Boat's a good idea. Surprise lake is the Northern Boundary of 6-25 D, so I could hunt only on the Southern side of the lake shore. Fly rods are coming too. Good Grayling in Surprise Lake.
Looking into the caribou draw now.

[The Dude]

Gonna add "Caribou tips" to this thread, if anyone's feeling altruistic. :D

[frenchbar]

who's going with you ..Walter and jesus...better take bunny along ..i hear its cold up there dude ..:mrgreen:

[The Dude]

Bunny's too expensive. A THOUSAND DOLLARS for a BJ? Forget THAT!

I WILL take Jesus, though, cuz if I get lonely......welll......

[frenchbar]

Then we'll get along just fine. :D

[BiG Boar]

Good on ya Dude! Congratulations! I have never been that far away in BC, so your on your own for advice, but if you want to borrow some sheepy reading material, I've got ya covered for books.

Other than that, the only secrets I've figured out are, persistance and glassing.

[greenhorn]

Good luck on your trip. Atlin is beautiful!!

[The Dude]

Thx again for all the PMs guys, you know who you are.
I have a lot of homework to do.

[The Dude]

GOOGLE-GEEKS!!!

I want to know how to overlay my own boundary on the area I'm hunting, 6-25-D, so I know exactly where to concentrate searches and what not to bother with. Anyone know the best way to do this in Google earth?

I haven't read the thread but this might help you out.

[The Dude]

Yeah, Slinky Pickles thread. It will show the numbered units, but not the sub-units. I have it installed, but it ain't much help.
Thx for the link and response Fireguy! :D

[Bear Chaser]

Dude. Do you ever have nightmares that Devilbear is the Big Lebowski?

[The Dude]

Dude. Do you ever have nightmares that Devilbear is the Big Lebowski?

Nah, He's not pompous enough to be Devilbear......I shall rest easy.
I heard he's looking for a hunting partner though.......you up for it? :D

Negatory good buddy.
I am too weak minded to maintain the patience that would be required.

[budismyhorse]

I said it on his thread asking for a partner and I'll say it again..........Like Lotto BC......."Can you imagine????"

[The Dude]

That thread just disappeared. Funny Dat.

[budismyhorse]

Noticed that...

I'm thinking Wilson from Castaway would be the only partner able to hack a trip with DB.

I wonder if a Volleyball can commit suicide...........


RENO: Thx Bud! Hope you get a fat ass Mulie this fall too!

[RENO]

Thanks Dude,good luck again, take your time, that's when the best one shows up when u least expect it.

[The Dude]

Anyone ever hunt up Mt Keish? It's in the NE Corner of 6-25D, but nearish Teslin Lake, so might be accessible to boaters. If there's a sheep population there, it must be a pretty isolated one.

[The Dude]

Who's the Biologist there now? I heard it was Rick M, but my lengthy email just got bounced back to me.

[boxhitch]

Bill Jex should have some info

[The Dude]

Is he the Bio there Boxster? The list of Bios i have is outdated. I'll do search for Bill. Thx

[boxhitch]

yes, he works with Mark Williams. They report to Dana Atagi, section head

[The Dude]

Got him, and already have a response, Cheers.

[boxhitch]

good news or bad ?
super double top secret ?

[The Dude]

Good, but vague. Several folks have been very helpful via PMs, and I asked if one area pointed out to me was worthy of flying/packing in. He basically said yeah, there's sheep all over the place there. (Now legal RAMS, he didn't elaborate on :-) ) The bad news is, there's TWO GOs there. My hunting partner knows one, however, through business, and we're not A-holes as a rule, so we should be fine. I wanna hunt and not see other hunters, but with 65 tags given out, if even half of those guys show up, it's gonna be hard to earn your solitude.
The tips given were via PM, so I won't be too specific. If all goes well, however, expect a Super Duper Ultra Double Belted Magnum EPIC thread this fall.
Now......need a new camera, bag, tent..............

[The Dude]

Bad news is, there's a big crop of illegal rams taken there. Actually in some years it equals or exceeds the legal rams taken. The Bio has seen an increasing trend of short rams taken, and says hunters are gonna have to learn to smarten up, or there's gonna be less tags. In the Area I'm tagged for alone, the GOS, GO, and illegal kills are roughly equal, at about 2-3 each group. These numbers do not include "Sustenance and Ceremony". *Ahem*

[coach]

Dude - Aren't you supposed to be going on this hunt soon? Looking forward to hearing about the trip. Best of luck!

[BiG Boar]

expect a Super Duper Ultra Double Belted Magnum EPIC thread this fall.

Isn't quite fall yet, but I hope you are ready Dude

[The Dude]

OI!

Someone sent me some Google screen shots with info and trails to my email at Yahoo.com.
I had a computer mess-up, and can't find the email OR the files now.
If you.re THAT guy then please contact me,, since that's the way we're gonna go, methinks.
Would love to have those again, thx so much, and I apologize for my bad memory.

[boxhitch]

And the winner is ..................???

[The Dude]

My buds got a 37" Stones and a 54" Moose.
Will post my pics if allowed.

[Rackmastr]

Cant wait to see!!!

Would love to hear how the trip went as well and see some scenery pics, etc.

[humble hunter]

Will post the story soon. I have sent it to an editor first, then to one of my c.o. friends to read it over and make sure there is NOTHING that the HBC saints can rob from the best hunt of my life thus far... with the exception of one thing missing...the dude:)

[The Dude]

Well hurry UP!

[coach]

The suspense is killing us!!:-D

[islander7mm]

Can't wait to hear another epic hunting story from the HBC crew. :-D

[Mik]

I was there in Whitehorse and had access to a boat. Can't believe I missed this thread...... Ok let's hear the rest of the story.

[The Dude]

I'll let HH tell it, as I couldn't go, but it has a funny and ironic twist at the end :D

[Jack Russell]

And why does this thread have FIVE stars attached to it????

[Steelpulse]

Where did this story end up? I have this tag now and looking for some info
