Team Wooldridge Tagged Out

October 19, 2009

It's been a rather dreary general rifle season thus far on the east side of the Cascades, but that definitely hasn't been the case for the all-in-the-family Wooldridge clan hunting in Okanogan County.

The road less traveled

October 13, 2009

After my ordinary hunting area became overrun with people a couple of years ago I was forced to look elsewhere. In the process of fumbling around scoping out an off-the-beaten-path area that didn't get heavily pressured my hunting partner and I stumbled upon an extensive area of roads with locked gates.
