i'll be goin up for the high hunt in the alpine friday night through monday and saturday sunday of the following weekend if need be. iv never hunted the high country, iv been up there a few times on overnight hiking trips in july and august, i never saw much game, other than people that i sometimes wish were open season..... anyways i have all the gear and maps and i was just lookin for some GENERAL info on the hunting the alpine lakes in sept. if i don't shoot a big buck its ok, i have a good spot for the general season just lookin' to see some deer (hopefully a bear!!!) and see the country. i plan on hiking in from the east side of blewett pass. like is said iv never hunted this area and by doin some research and basically throwing a dart at the map this is where i ended up. im assuming the deer will be feeding in the early hours untill the sun gets up then bed down in the shade for most of the day? is there a particular slope that tends to hold more deer? i would guess there's more feed on the southern slopes? also, how far above the treeline are we talkin... are the deer usually WAY up there or just on the fringe? how about glassing, do you like to be up high and glass the medows and slide shoots or be lower and glass up on the hills? so pretty much your basic dumb newb high hunter questions..... also, if anyone has ever hiked in from the blewett area and has some direction id appreciate it! thanks guys!
