We got assigned to unit 1 on the NW side. The camping worked out great. We had a great time. I pre-made vacuum packed pasta meals to boil which worked out great. BG is a rough environment. The truth is that most animals will do best learning to live their lives at night. It's harsh and I enjoyed that. The peace, lack of phone coverage and good sleep was awesome. We hunted and scouted hard. Don't go out there if you plan to kill anything. If you want to experience a huge change to stand hunting, go climb the volcanic rocks, go do it. Rut hunting with a gun might be a whole diff thing. Just know that the weather is X-treme and most people are not prepared for it although it was mild for us.

I do want to say thank you to those who contributed to us on this trip. Ranch dog, CH and SNJ had really good info. We got lucky and did not need the 40 gallons of water that we took. That is not a bad thing! The tarp thing was a great help. The temp swings out there are hard to believe. Afternoons are not really worth it.This country takes grit. More then I am willing to muster.

Good to hear you had a great time ScooterG! "No Country for Old Men" but this old guy loves it!
