norseman Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks bud. Just got a stream light for my guide gun. 400 lumen. I also joined the backcountry horseman last weekend. Good cause and hopefully may get a few leads thar way too. It's snowing tonight I have my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBigfoot Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi Norseman, Are any of your friend's sightings nearby? That you could stakeout, try your predator calls, look for tracks, etc? Those areas may be a good starting point. Or go back to your old grand dads cabin. I think areas that have had a sighting or activity are good areas to keep checking on. Unless the area has been too disturbed or clearcutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 Yes but nothing recent. And the old grand dads cabin area is in the frank church wilderness in central idaho. I only have been there in Summer and Fall. But it's not accessible in winter other than with skis or snow shoes(maybe). About 50 miles from the trailhead. If you have google earth, type in "cold meadows airstrip" it's about 15 miles north of there along the rim of the Salmon river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBigfoot Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 I checked out the airstrip. And I found a Sheepeater Mtn and Sheepeater Lake off to the WNW of the airstrip. They sound interesting. Have you ever been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norseman Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 No that is way west of where we usually hunted. Named after the Sheepeater Indians, a hillbilly band of Shoshone that fought a war with the US. The area I was talking about is between Cabin mountain and hungry creek point.

Guest Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have taken the liberty of forecasting the progress of "Project Grendel" for the next 100 years. I used a sophisticated modeling technique that would take too long to explain here so you'll have to trust that is 100% correct. See below for the results.

Trogluddite Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Small update on Op Futility - I'll be near West Virginia next week and while the area where we're staying doesn't have a lot of recorded activity, I'm lining up some hiking at the Dolly Sods wildlife area in Pendleton County. In the realm of statistically unusual events, I think I'd take a visual encounter over winning the lottery, so keep your fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
