 Did anyone make it over to 49 degrees over the weekend? Just curious on what guys are seeing. How's the snow melt is going and road conditions. Hoping to make it back over here soon.

We hunted both days. Saw a small bear Saturday evening. Lot of critters out and about, deer, moose, cats, turkeys, limited bear sign though.

Haven't seen any sign besides actually getting eyes on that one! Should be getting good soon.

Was planing to go up there on Wed for a week but was thinking it may be better to go a little  later. Would a week late be better to get in the high areas? Don't know the area real well and will be hunting turkeys too.
I'm retired now so I can stay as long as I need to.
Thank You

There was quite a bit of compacted snow at 4K, enough that there were guys snowmobiling on it and the higher roads were not drivable.  Anyone headed over should have a chainsaw and a good cable, we pulled 3 trees out of the road due to forgetting the chainsaw.  PM me if you have a road in mind, we covered 75% of the west side of the unit.  I’ll be back over the 28th till the 6th of June if anyone knocks one down and needs a hand, I’ll be solo till the 3rd.

One less boar out there. Got mine Thursday. There's some logs down across the road to Calispell peak and I forgot my saw. Lots of good grass out there to watch

Hunting Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning coming up. Looks like good weather in the forecast so hopefully one of the two in our party can get the job done

I'll post a picture when I can, phone does t want to for some reason .

The check process was OK. I called it in at 8am and there wasn't a biologist available in Spokane. I started heading to my folks place in Wenatchee to butcher out and was able to meet with the bio there. She was fantastic and quick.

I'll be out Friday night to Sunday evening. It is looking really good. Checking out a couple new spots and hopefully get lucky!

Good luck. It will be our first trip out for the season so we will just be bouncing around checking out a few spots

Any back and fourth discussion about what the minimum amount of hide would qualify for submission? I’ll be hunting 17-22

When you select the picture change the size to medium. Or take a screenshot of the picture.
