Snow at the Colockum

[Gentrys]

Wanting to head over to the Colockum next week.
Anyone been over there recently?  Curious about the snow level.

Looked like just a few skiffs from the Palisades side. Perfect for tracking and nuthin' a good pair of pack boots couldn't handle!

Tagging! im curious as well

Good chance you will not get through. I went up last weekend to knock the cobb webbs out of the ATV and check on a friends cabin. Found a lot of snow still. Beacon RD from the Brushy turnoff north was snow covered. Still snowmobiles up there. This would make me believe that Colockum Pass is probably not passable on tires....yet. Cabin made it through winter well though!!

Did you go up to the top of colockum pass on your atv?

[C-Money]

No, could not make it across to there from Beacon Ridge. Folks were still running snowmobiles around up there...

Did not put on very many miles, but was great to get out!!

Looking at those hills can look deceiving. What you cannot see is all the areas that the snow drifts into. The get deep.

I was up there last weekend. Went up Cooke Canyon.

Still a buttload of snow up top, had to park the 4Runner and walk to the ridge line. Looked like a couple guys had gone farther but I didn't want to risk it.

TONS of deer in the Naneum canyon, no bucks of course. Anyone know if there are ever bucks there lol?!

No elk or elk sign up high yet, they're still chillin down by the river and on the ranches.

By this coming weekend I'd anticipate that the snowline will be much higher. Be careful with the mud up there, you'll get stuck pretty quick if you're not watching things.

Lots of snow still. Snow in the forecast for the next 48 hours. Roads are horrible.

There were bucks they had just already dropped the headgear

I had over 40 deer in my spotter that day and not a single one was a buck. No bases or anything, does does and more does.

Hard to tell when antlers had already been shed

Unless your spotter zoomed in well enough to check to see if they had a twig and berries it would be darn near impossible to tell.

Are you guys serious? You can literally see where the pedicle was attached on a buck. With a spotter it's pretty easy at 500 yds. Every deer I looked over was a doe or fawn.  I'd put money on it.

Anyway, not as many bucks in that unit as I'd expect.
