SNOW!!!!

[MichaelJ]

It's been crazy wet here in Wenatchee the last 5 days.  Snow everyday up around 4000 ft or so...  I'd say those bucks that hang out around '6000-'8000 feet are getting hit pretty hard.  I think they'll move down, but not entirely to the winter range, definately out of the high country but not enough to hit up the lower entiat units... I know where I would be come the general!

I've been in snow for the last two days.  Miserable wet son of a ......  You think this country gets wet, you should try over in the NE corner up in the Selkirks and in the Panhandle.  FREAKY weatehr, more stories to come.  I've got a couple dandies.  I saw a couple very nice bucks.  They weren't headed anywhere except for under a big tree, and away from my camera lens. Basically in that neck of the woods EVERYTHING is big, including the weather.   I just can't wait to take my minimal gear and go camp under my fly at 8000 feet.  It was so frickin nasty where I was, I didn't even bother setting up my 4 season hurricane tent.  the cab was just fine.

Friend went up earlier this week hiking in the Teanaway and said there was about 4-5 inches of now at the 6,000ft level

Isn't it cool to have so many choices.

Dad just got back from camp out in the Teanaway at about 6,000ft, said very little snow left, just patches, but said it was nasty weather.  Not dry anymore which is nice.

I spent the weekend looking for deer and or/sign all over the buttermilk butte, libby creek, gold creek, gold ridge area.  Not really any sign at all and I didn't see any deer up there.  Hiked up to Libby lake (beautiful hike by the way) and cut one fresh track in the snow.  Is it usually this dead in that area above the river valleys/below the "high country"?  There was some sign around the burn that runs up Gold ridge, but not much and not very fresh.

p.s., there was snow starting at about 5000', and maybe a 8-10 inches by the time I got to the lake at appx. 7500'.

the snow was nearly gone at about 5500ft or so on saturday. not a trace of snow below 5k. the north slopes and holes still had a few inches but it was melting fairly fast. i would expect most of it to be gone by this weekend at that elevation.
