A blast from the past !!
Yep, Trout Creek.
I was able to get in there, there was a lot of orange in there. It was that year that started out with a burn ban and rained the whole two weeks of the general.
I was totally soaked. Never seen the general rain that much in the Methow. There were bucks in there. I did not hookup though.
I saw one buck at first glance looked like a huge typical 4x4 from the side, then he stepped in front of a tree with tons of weeping branches. He went from a spike to a 10x12, depending how he moved his head with the tree behind him. LOL
Then he heard two hunters a ways off talking really loud and busted out. That is when I confirmed he was a beautiful typical 4x4, as he ran over the hill.
That was the day I ran into the four hikers doing the PCT in Mazama.
I could have saved them $90 each on a free ride up to Hearts Pass, instead they showed their hate of hunters.
Karma is a ......
LOL
He is closer to the biggest buck that I know of this year anyway.
I am all ears!!!
