striking out so far....
« on: October 28, 2017, 10:43:46 AM »
hiked around stevens pass before the snowline dropped....

went east.... hiked around Leavenworth/chumstick highway up in those canyons and ridges....

went north.... hiked and drove all over Winthrop/baldy pass/concunully.... got snowed out and had to cut my trip short


back on the island.... trying to figure out what my next move is. got the rest of today and tomorrow for gun season, then its going to be blackpowder season again.....

gonna try the late season gun hunt down in greys harbor county I think but...... honestly striking out this year

How much snow was there for you to get snowed out?

I for sure won't be buying a multi season tag again
