Looking at tramping up there to work for Tech. Wondering if anyone runs up there and what the pros and cons are. What can you run? How are the wolves? How is the access? Thanks for any info.

Tech construction? You can only run coons in Washington and I don't think wolves are an issue, merlo would have to answer that.

looks to be not far from Idaho, I would guess there are wolves present there.

Just coons? Well the terriers might have a good time at least. Im not sure if they call it tech construction. Im talking about the undetground mine there.

Tramp mining, I miss that life sometimes. I left the Leeville north of Carlin.
Got tired of blowing black snot and boogers, got away from diesel and rubber tire mines, and went back to rail and compressed air.
Now I run equip and blast for the Forest Service. My buddys are still packing a wheat light.
And leaning on a jackleg drill.

I just finished up backstopping and breasting down off of some timbered raises at Midas. I would like to stay away from the mechanized mines but it is slim pickings out there right now. I fought fire for the blm for a year. I'm sure your gig with the forest service would be a blast. No pun intended.

Cant hunt cats. Im guessing you cant hunt the wolves. And by the sounds of it the coons arent really that thick like they are on the coast... I better start making phone calls because that sounds like hell...

I live and work up there. You cant run cats or bears. ID is not far way, but you can't hardly go over the top (pass CR) in the winter. It's a bit of a drive down around Newport to Priest river to hunt.
There are some hound doggers up here still though.

We will see. Its cheaper not to move, and I have a few options down here as well. But if I have to head up there Im looking at living in ID. In NV you have to travel to hunt and work, so Im used to the driving. A couple hundred miles to the mine isnt too bad. Thanks for the input.
