Stickbuck's Late Alta Muzzy Thread

Well, I was going to wait until tomorrow to start my Alta late muzzy thread, but I just couldn’t wait any longer. Here you go BoomWhop. I know you were looking forward to this. After drawing this tag, I was very excited for the upcoming hunt. As I began my research, I quickly found out what the wolves and other predators have done to the deer numbers in the Alta.
Trying to stay positive, I continued my research and scouted the unit in September after killing my first bull elk with a spike. It was right after all the massive fires started burning in Central WA so I was somewhat limited on the areas I could go due to all of the fire crew activity. I never saw a deer in my time scouting, but I was able to learn the road systems throughout the unit. I knew I was not scouting deer, but instead just trying to learn the area and to figure out where I wanted to camp. The scouting trip seemed to rejuvenate my mental state regarding the hunt. It also helped with all the great info I received from multiple members of HuntWA and I am sure you guys know who you are. You guys have helped me immensely and I greatly appreciate everything you guys have done with helping me learn the area. So now, the scouting is done. I have scoured map after map after map trying to figure out every south facing hill that these deer might be on. I am leaving on Saturday morning at 3am and heading east. I am hoping to be in the vicinity of my camp by daylight depending on the road conditions over Stevens. If I can get camp setup pretty early, it will definitely leave me some quality time to scout and determine what the deer activity is like. Attached are a few pics of this beautiful unit. I will definitely be keeping this thread updated over the week that I am there with details of the hunt. Good luck to all of you who have this tag!!

Good luck, I drew the tag last year and had a blast, had lots of snow up high so the deer were down low, not as much snow this year so you should be able to cover more country

Can see the smoke on your pics from the fire up the Gold Cr. You should do well with that permit. Hope for some snow to get them down to the winter range not that there down there now. Shoot straight and keep the wind in your face!!

Good luck Stickbuck, that looks like some familiar country there, you just have to picture it with snow and fog now.

Thanks Mike! Can you believe our separate muzzy adventures are upon us?!? I will do my best to get it done so I can come help you on your hunt at least for a few days. I will keep you updated Adam. It's going to be a wild solo hunt. Is it bad that my wife up'd my life insurance policy this week? Haha!!
Wea300mag, Thanks for the link on that website. I hope that fog lays down next week. Seeing that camera isn't very reassuring for the time being.

Was up there Wednesday for work, saw lots of deer from the roads. Should be a good time.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when. No habitat = no game.
