Latest trip.
I'm getting a nose bleed just thinking about the altitude. I'm assuming it's up high.

2kuduhunterLooks like lower Hell's canyon and the Snake river down there!!!! Maybe??? Great pics, thanks for posting. If correct, that is where Washington, Oregon and Idaho converge for those that are wondering.

nobody2Bingo.....affirmative on the location. My favorite place.

rbrbrb6Three of us headed to Homestead which is north of Oxbow May 1st for a pack trip back into the wilderness for spring bear. We had set up the temp corral for the night and started packing panniers when the county deputy showed up and told me there had been a fire at my house 4 hours earlier and while no one was hurt, my attached garage and one of my trucks had burned up. Needless to say my mules gave me a funny look the next morning at five when I told them to load back up and we headed back for another 10 hour trip home. The other two guys went on into McGraw Creek and up towards 32 Point but no luck on the bears. Great country but not for the faint of heart. We head back in November for a cow elk hunt.

AtkinsonNorseman,
You oughta take a look at some of that Big Bend Park country in texas south of Marathon and Alpine, and the Sierra Del Carmens just across the river, where I used to hunt bear, Coues and Mule Deer as a kid. Its the same mountains but fewer trees, more cactus and rocks, shale slides and no trails..Great place to test your mule. I still book some hunts over there on a 100,000 acre spread. It's the only place I know where there is a huntable herd of Crooki Mule Deer and the so called Carmen Montain Whitetail Deer.

Turned that mule over to the Forest Service. Let them find the owner.

Painted HorseI found a horse up in the Uinta Wilderness. I think it had foundered on the all green grass it was eating. It wouldn't move or lead.
I stopped by the Forest Service Office on the way down the mountain and told them about the lost horse and it's location. They had no interest. When I pressed them a little they pulled a report and gave me a number of somebody who had reported a lost horse. No description, Just a name, phone# and lost horse.
They told ME to call him and see if it was his.

joesterThat fat mulie in the pics looks like he has a glandular problem... He'd be easier to diagnose next to a pile of mashed potatos!

AtkinsonNorseman,
That's correct 'Carmen Mountain Whitetail" and Crooki Mule Deer..in the Del Carmen Mountains South of the Big Bend National Park in Mexico.
Its about the roughest country I've ever rode in and its where I was raised. I have hunted both here in the Pacific NW where I live now, and down South..The mountains here in the Pacific N.W. are higher and lots of trails as a rule and the footing is mostly good, and its beautiful .. the mountains in far West Texas and Mexico are not quite as high except on the peaks, the terrain is rocky and footing is horrible. Its a hard days ride and only for those who spend most of their life horseback. It is also beautiful, but only to those who are used to it or raised there perhaps..The deer get fat by breaking open rocks and eating the kernals out of them!
Not being argumentive, just passing on good information for those that care to hunt these areas.

333_OKHThank you all for this post..I love it. My family started the horse racing here in northern California, Humboldt, in the 1860s...only at the time due to the conditions of the area the horse was required to have Morgan blood.
Now what happened to this buck? It the velvet antlers so thick and his body so fat it makes his head look like it was shrunk. Nice pics I love it..

Norseman333 OKH,
you should focus on Trout Creek Mountain tag in Oregon as a out of state resident.
You will see much larger bucks.
