Everything else has went to crap this year. Why not deer camp too.

I only have a couple years experience here, and the cold and snow seemed to be a bit later than Halloween.

Live and learn. We have all been in *censored*ty situations. Growing up as a kid I remember hunting with my day, being ten years old I learned alot, I thank him for teaching me how to handle these situations. We were in tents most of the time but as he got older we started taking his small trailer. It was always winterized before we went as we knew temps would always be bellow freezing. If anything it was just a place to get out of the elements after our daily hikes. Glad you all made it home okay and are safe. Preparation is key!

You gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em. If you are stressed out and pissed off then you aren't having any fun and thats the damn point of it all anyways. 

I'll see your frozen crapper and raise you a hand full of exposed hardware for 2020 season ruiners though. I win?

Ouchtown population you bro!!! That is gnarly! Hope you have a good recovery!

It could be worse.  The snow that blew in on Friday was just like dish soap.  Hunting partner and I almost slid off the road on a negative camber section of a hill. Ran into 3 people who were from Port Angeles coming out who had their wall tent and camp set up on the top of the mountain. They were heading to Colville for some chains to hopefully get up to get the camp tore down.
Not sure if they are successful. 
It was a balmy 5 up there this morning at the house.  On top I'm guessing it was in the hole.  I had to make a run to Spokane to clean up tree limbs from the latest snow festival. 
Predicted to be back in the 50s this coming weekend.

  for being a winner I sure feel like a loser 

If i behave myself the pins come out Nov 19th. Then I have 5 days to kill an idaho buck, a montana buck, and 3 montana doe's 😬

OP wins valuable points with the wife though for including her in the family hunt and caring whether she was having a good time.

Hey Alchase! Would you have told your wife who has a migraine to go wrap a blue tarp around a couple of trees in 7 degree weather and do her business cuz thats hunting? 

Seriously though, I'm paranoid about the trailer freezing up. If its gonna get much below say 28, the trailer is just a warm shelter, poop and pee outside. And never leave the awning up over night if there is a chance of bad weather. Play it safe, bring it down.

I NEVER sleep well either on the first night of being ANYWHERE but my own bed, second night a little better and third night, as you did, I sleep well.

piled up my bike. If it was just a cast on a hand I'd be chasing elk in WY but these exposed pins aren't to be messed with so here I sit watching hunting season come and go via texts and huntwa

Almost forgot.....
Came home to a couple large chunks of our maple tree laying in the front yard.
FU 2020

I live on the South Hill so... SAME HERE. lol. Sounds like a rough go, do you think you'll go back out?

I put in 11.5 miles in 137 before the storm, coulda filled a moose tag, couldn't find deer, and found that my planned camp location (pack in camp, pack out) was a 1.5 hour walk to water. So my camp was basically done before it started, at least until late season.
