You're sure bring back some old names.  Remembering stories I had forgotten.  Funny how one name triggers several stories about several others.

Indeed. I was going to guess who the cowboy friend was in his original post.  I bet I know, but thought I'd leave it at that.

Its funny how a majority of folks on here who think they know what the Methow is like, should have seen it 20,30,40 years ago.   Most of these folks never will see what kind of glory the herd was like.  They are excited now when they see 30 in a field by Big Twin.  and think oh there are lots of deer

I was going to guess CM but I am sure there are several possibilities.

So would w.f. have lived on gold creek? If so I know him. My dad rode horses in the winter range watching some nice bucks together

[horsehunter509]

We were neighbors for a while there (about a mile). My dad and him were pretty good friends

The Ohms name sounds familiar to me

They lived out on the west chewack about 3 miles it's now a B&B called "the bend in the river" I think just before the old apple orchard on the left side of Rd, They were the reason we bought our place there in 67' and the whole group of Friends/hunters started to hunt that area instead of hunting grouse Mnt above lake Chelan. I always remember what Bill would say when I asked him if he had gotten a deer yet and he would just reply "No I'm waiting for the local season to start" I'm pretty sure they never went without a deer in the freezer. I do know that he hunted on a piece of property that was just up the Cub Cr rd on the right I don't remember the name but he always said the Doctor's place.

Sounds like my aunt Barb and uncle Charlie used to say as well

I don't recognize them.  I stink at names though and for the most part avoided Winthrop like the plague.  Like BMac said, the Ohms sort of sounds familiar, but not closely.

  I'm gonna tag along. Great memories (not mine) but I like to hear them regardless.

I remember back when there were no antler restrictions and you could sit by a window and lose count on the number of muleys you could see running the hills behind the house. Then the rules changed. We had bad winter kills. Seasons where the weather stayed in the 90's the whole week. And from there it has just gone downhill.
