Great story! Too bad there wasn't much around.

Great story and pictures high country. Thanks for taking the time to post. Aren't there some fresh burns at the north end of the lake? Is so how did they look for next year?

I hiked into the GPW area via Trinity and bushwhacked straight up once inside the wilderness. Tough going especially with all the alders that grow sideways along every stream bed. I didn't have any shot opportunities, but did contemplate a head shot on a 4-point opening morning. I was hoping for a better shot so therefore got none. Scenery was awesome and the hike tested our groups metal. Also got some good ideas for other areas to check next time I hunt that area.

I had more success in finding deer this year on the lake.  I think there are holes with some deer in them.  I'm hoping for snow and I'm going to late bowhunt them on the lake from Dec 1-6...

I think you will do fine, you always seem to bring great pics. I saw lots of deer by.........well you know where

the burns are re vegitating well, but the available water is the killer for me.....there is a 3000 ft zone w/o any.....that sux.

Thanks high country. I'd think those burn areas would be good hunting over the next 5-10 years??? We had to look a bit for water ourselves after getting above 4500'. I assume the water was coming from snow which was getting a little thin in the area we hunted.
