 Nice bucks.

There are 4 key's to Chewuch mulies. If one thinks about it. You can figure it out. Most wilderness area deer are out by October 25th I read. A burn w food, a year around stream, dark timber bedding near one of the 4 migration routes. I have my Chewuch honey holes and spent about 45 minutes before a 4x4 came up draw and was down during general season. My shot was only I heard opening morning.. 4 year's ago I was seeing 10 to 12 4x4 or larger bucks from 2:30-end of hunting light on November 10th on.
We ended up with a 4x5 that dressed out at 283 pounds... I have 15 points and my Dad has drawn on 3 points 2x in 8 year's. Get away from the city and and look for areas like mentioned. I hunt between 3,500 and 6500 feet.
If there's a strong enough will there's a way until none left. Every year I hunt places people drive right by up. I hunt 1/2 to a mile away from road's and they have the feed, water and bedding area's.. Scout scout scout and cams find the does in those areas and the bucks are hiding nearby. Especially during the rut hunt.
 We hunt other western state's and I look for the same quality area's.
 I call biologists and game warden, butcher's etc. Then start a research on Google Earth and more.. Narrow down the unit to 6 to 10 holes. Hunt from daylight to day's end. I put a 800 miles on truck scouting before opening day or a solid week.

Any pics of the 283 buck?

Me and my dad ran into you and your dad right after you got your buck off the hill and down to your truck. You were the first tag holder I had seen with a buck. Congrats again man and hopefully there is more snow for future tag holders.

Yeah.  A 283# field dressed buck would be impressive to see

Yes please show that brute. Years ago I was in Thompson's meats in Twisp before they closed shop and they had an enormous mule deer hanging. I did not ask what the hanging weight was but it absolutely dwarfed the 140 hanging weight whitetail I brought in. I thought it was over 200 pounds hanging. Very impressive.

I don’t want to thread jack, but I did shoot a gen season buck that my butcher and I estimated at 350# live weight

[greenhead_killer]

I’m 6’3” and 250# for reference.

 This one fits the bill.

Years ago I shot one that weighed 325 field dressed with the legs cut off. I did not realize how big it was until I tried to pull it out of a ditch it was lying in. The antlers were not much to look at, a wide two by three. It was obviously a regressive rack when you consider the size of the buck.

That’s how this buck was. I thought he was a younger 2x3 and didnt fully understand what I had shot until I walked up to him. Wow factor was in full effect. Def a regress buck. Wish I would have had him aged.
