Displaced Camping

[Bill Christy]

For those of us who still hunt with boots on ground, I've found the best way to compete with increased hunting pressure is to backpack into an area and drop camp for a night or two. Nothing beats already being in place come opening morning. If, like me, you are a older solo DIY hunter, hauling your drop camp into place via game cart works great! Although I have my home base camp set up, I use my drop camp to hunt deeply into wilderness areas for a day or two. I keep it basically simple: tent, sleeping bag, a couple of sandwiches.

Hmm backpacking with a game cart seems like an interesting move. Seems like a pain to deal with. I also believe the game cart would be illegal in a federally designated wilderness area.

It's illegal to use a game cart in wilderness.

Maybe they don’t mean a literal designated wilderness area, but rather just “the wilderness”?

Sigh. Loved seeing the NRs in their Kuiu tents who hiked in a mile or so to camp in the bedding area of elk. Walked up to them as they glassed a hundred yards from their tents.

“We haven’t seen any elk!”

No chit genius. I saw three different NR (license plates at trailheads) tents in elk hot spots. Sigh.

I use pack goats, lamas, game carts horses and mules to get me so deep into the back country that end up in the front country.

Could be true some people (bots) think anything away from road is wilderness

In Idaho, allowance is given for game carts.

I was hunting musk ox and ran into Billy boy pulling a sled on the ice. All the dogs were in the sled. He was faster then my snow mobile. He said he was giving the dogs a rest.
Billy your the man
