thanks for all the comments, and believe me, i know deer hunting is not as easy as this way, especially in the high hunts. just hope my buddy doesn't expect deer hunting to be like it was. i took me about my first 5 seasons before i even saw a legal buck. just the fact it didn't take us long in a new area i've never hunted, just heard about, just adds to how special this hunt was.

I spent the last few days in GMU 249 Alpine Lakes. I was the only hunter there in the area where I was at. The hike in was about 4300 feet elevation gain over a pass and approximately five miles. The areas I was hunting were within 2 miles from camp.
The first morning in about 15 minutes from camp I ran across about 8-9 grouse warming themselves after sunbreak. 25 minutes or so after that I spotted a couple of does in a drainage below me 100 yards making their way uphill. I moved out of their way... Then later that day I found some deer beds with another doe laying down sunning herself. All the deer I saw were between 5500-6300 feet elevation just below the scrub pines and favored slopes which faced south and east so that they could enjoy the morning warmth.
The next day I spotted the only buck I would get eyes on during my trip. He was meaty. I spotted him close to where I came across the 2 does the day before. It was a good glassing spot.. He was making his way down into the benches below the scrub pines. I could not tell how many points he had from my vantage and the foliage which somewhat distracted my view from about 500 yards.. So when he wasn't looking I snuck a lot closer (to about 100 yards) and saw that he only had 2 points on each side. Anyway it was great to get some practice but would rather have seen a legal one and filled my freezer. I left my camera in the truck the whole time so no pics.
Lots of rain and cold weather but I still covered some turf. I would like to have stayed another day or two but after only seeing half a dozen deer in a few days I decided I would rather come home and see my baby girl and eat krispy kremes.
Olthunter, nice deer.

Hunted the High buck out of Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. Hiked up Taylor River and Quartz Creek Trails and surrounding area, saw only 2 does and a fawn. All the "Locals" said ya wont see um under 4000 ft. for three more weeks. Horse back is the only way to go.

Heard of some nice deer taken in the GPW aswell as the ALW... success was way down in the GPW and up in the ALW... Also there's a few bears being shot as well!

Excellent job.
Sorry about those steep trails guys. It mostly has to do with global warming and the extinction of the polarbear.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
