I shorted myself on days in the field this year and was not successful in my quest to bag a deer, but between the blue bird weather and the scenery, it was a lot of fun.
This was a typical view of the big timber that I was hunting.
This coral mushroom was about 8-10" across and about 10" high.
This was about the only vantage point that I had where I could see out of the trees.
There are some very pretty places on this old earth!!
Doggone it George, were those taken up the Cispus?
If I didn't know any better I'd say that those were taken darned near Mouse Lake looking out over Ore Creek toward Mt Adams, a little to the left.
Cause it sure looks like where I hunt quite a lot!
Am I warm?

ps, that ain't no levergun you have there!
44,
You are a little too far up the drainage. It is the Cispus that runs down the valley below, but Iron Creek is the drainage in the background.
The gun is actually a lever, but it sure didn't show up in the picture! It is my BLR in 308. I carried my 1886 40-82 the day before and decided that I needed a break from carrying 10 pounds of rifle without a sling!
This has been an exceptionally pretty fall here in Western Washington. The difference is in the number of sunny days that we have had at a time of year when it is usually raining. It was great for an outing in the woods, but wasn't too good for hunting.
Beautiful! I sure hope you tell me that coral went home with you! Yum!
I have to admit that that one stayed in the woods. I took the picture because I haven't seen one in quite a while. There were two within a foot or so of each other. Thought I 'd leave them for seed.

Is that a small community in the distance?
No houses or anything in this picture. The light colored spots in the distance that might look like rooftops are cottonwood trees still carrying their fall foliage.
I took a BCHW "Leave No Trace" class at Randle a year ago and I've got to say the country was awful pretty. I didn't have the time to get out into though.
Well, knowing 'about' where you are in that photo George, I can only say I've most likely hunted through there! Very few ridges or trails that I haven't been on up the Cispus. From Pompey Peak to Snow Grass Flats, from Cispus lookout to Langille. I've been in all that country. I just wonder how many times you and I ran across one another up there somewhere!
Sorry I didn't recognize your gun in the photo, I deserve to be punished by a forced hike from the Boundrey trail at Holdaway Butte up onto Langille clean through on past McCoy Peak and The Rough Way trail and on to the other end of the ridge and down to 'Yellowjacket' creek. Have you been on that trail?

I chased smokes up on Sunrise in about 1975, but I never hunted that ridge.
