Winthrop Bound For Modern - Anyone Else?

[wrangler]

Don't get me wrong. 50-60 deer over 5-6 days isn't spectacular but is not to bad... the hunting over there has become a shell of what it was in the old days, but its like that everywhere! Its still a good hunt if u put in some effort and USE your glass. I grew up hunting the chiwawa and its the same way. I still hunt the opener there with my wife and don't see near the deer #'s I did 20 years ago, but tell me where u do? We still do ok. I found that showing up in the methow mid week is far more productive than opening weekend. It is bat *censored* crazy on the opener... ill admit to that. hence why i stay in the chiwawa! Sometimes ya just gotta get off the forum, sack up and hunt. As my dad would say: the deer are where u find em!

You and 10K other people.  If you get off the beaten path you should be in good shape.  Stay out of site of the road hunters and you will have better luck.  Many individuals will put on 100's of miles and call that a good days worth of hunting.   

Completely agree.  Get off the roads.  And actually hunt you will be successful.  If you want it to happen you have to make it happen.

There is a bunch of people in there on opening weekend, but by Monday they have almost all headed home.   By Wednesday last year we had the place to our selves. I tagged out on Thursday. Let them get the deer stirred up. Just sit and watch.

Wait... didn't someone already say that?? Aw man I thought I was the only one! We have a primo camp spot back up high right off the road and its always vacant when we show up on Wednesday. Go figure...

I don't hunt up there but if I were to I'd hit up THE TRIPOD BURN!!!! Its growing some monster bucks in there now. If you don't believe search for The TRIPOD BUCK shot last year it was huge! Good luck to all and let us all know how that TRIPOD BURN produces this year?

Naw...TRIPOD is way over rated. RAMSEY CRK is where the ballers are!

Was in the burn a couple weeks ago.Went over ramsey and hiked in up pebble creek,spent all day in there.Saw a big cougar and the area of the burn we were in is where we saw most of the wolf sign .We saw 1 lone doe on the hike out to Boulder creek.Its a big burn tho,just nothing in the area we were.

Headed over to Chewuch for Saturday only, mostly to set up a camera & scout a new area. I will be hunting & will be very selective.... I have a quality tag for November 1-20.

Good Luck Everyone
