Fall Hunting
This week have had the pleasure of hosting the television show Higher Ground Outdoors. They are up here for a Black Bear hunt. Every episode they take an American hero on a hunt of a lifetime. This hunt was no different. The hero, Glenn, got a nice bear while hunting the creeks. As you can see in the picture below they had a great time. We are looking forward to having Higher Ground Outdoors back this spring for another bear hunt with Mathews Archery.
There are still coho in the rivers and not a lot of fishing pressure. The weather has gotten cooler and fall has definitely taken hold. We even had a light dusting of snow in the upper elevations of the island this week.
I took a morning off this week to deer hunt and got a very small forked horn for the freezer. The deer hunting is just picking up and we are headed home for the winter. I know of several nice deer spotted down low this week so the deer are starting to move down in better numbers. We may be open for hunting during the rut for Sitka Blacktail Deer next year if we get enough bookings to make it worth while. If you are interested in that hunt send an email to info(at)thornebaylodge.com. I will also have a DVD of our Steelhead fishing completed shortly and I will post it on the website when it is complete if you would like a copy. I will also be updating the website with new pictures and information in the coming weeks.
Our season is coming to an end. We are looking towards next season now. Remember to put a deposit down on your trip for next year. Many of the good weeks are filling up.
