Default 410 Hunters.

Hey guys. Just wondering how the late season 410 hunters made out? Would have been a bit chilly the last couple of days. Anyone have any insight? Good, not so good or even bad stories from this past season they care to share? Thanks.

I switched to the 28 this year but should have stuck to the 410 , I seemed to have better luck with it.

I was able to fold my tag in 410 this past November. Packed in camp with horses first week of the season and planned on staying until the end. We had several encounters with rams and many failed attempts. Nov 29 is when everything changed, a new ram showed up and we finally were able to close the distance. Let an arrow fly at 22yards. Was a magical day, my first ram.

Any observations or pointers you would like to share? Did you stay up there the whole month, or did you come in and out as you could? What worked and what didn't? Any grizz encounters? any mule deer or elk opps? A detailed write up would be great if you have time and thanks again for sharing. Congrats on a fine Ram!! looks like his bases are very big as well.

Simply amazing. I hunted it in 2010 and ended up wounding a ram up Pigeon Mtn. He made it through the season alive and was seen after the season chasing ewes. Just never could get back on him again. Haunts me to this day but success/hunting stories from 410 are pretty amazing!!!!

Great stuff what an experience that must have been. I'm about due to draw that tag and hope to do the same kind of thing and pack in camp. Did you hire somebody to pack in and if so who would you recommend?

Wow.....what a great accomplishment!!!
Just love the camp set up as well......great adventure for sure.
Thanks for posting this.

Can't believe how few posts there are on this thread....such a great hunt and harvest yet most of the "Outdoorsmen" on here would rather post about "Plagues" or "Politics" or what ever else has nothing to do with the outdoors.
