Hunting Washington Forum

We made some trips around that mountain range, got up to 6500 feet,  saw a few,,, no bucks. BUT Tiffanies are 8300 feet so that would be a big difference. At 6500 feet we went though some spots with close to a foot of snow. When we camped in the Long Swamp area local guys "Tonasket" said the big bucks won't come down till it is FEET of snow.
  But that said, it will move some I'm sure!
 Good Luck!

Agree.👍 The big fellas will hang in brisket deep snow or more until the “urge” hits them to chase does who will have all but gotten out of Dodge.

Speaking of Wolves, the Tiffany pack has been pretty active, going back and forth(east-west) bouncing from Tiffany turf to 8 mile turf and surrounding areas. I heard the original pack had split into two Talked with a guy who said during the regular season 9 wolves(from what they could count) came way to close to their camp up Fawn creek, they pulled out the next day and reported it.

Any luck !!

Thanks for taking us along.  I love hunting quail.

If you're not using 7.5's for quail, give it a go.  I've found they get a lot sicker than with 8's.

Sometimes in thick cover, the bird never makes it to the ground, getting hung up in the brush.  That can make for a tough retrieve for a lab or other ground scenter.

As for roosters, if you don't break a leg and a wing, the odds of collection get thinner.

My blacktail, and bro in laws Halloween buck
