Looks like the Pipestone?

Good glassing point, no deer just hikers.

Being a local can tell you those da-_ hikers are everywhere along with their dogs they let run loose.

Also all the bikers.  They are on all the trails you would think are just for hunting on.

This is the very reason I bought my own property.  So sad seeing the Methow getting turned into dog walking areas on WDFW lands.  The land our licenses pay for suddenly becomes open for everyone's use even though they don't contribute.  Most of them don't even have a Discover Pass that is required by hunters.  They let their dogs run off leash, they run and jump on you while your trying to hunt.  The owners are dressed in dark clothing but yet we have to wear hunter orange.      Sorry for the rant just a good area destroyed for hunting.

You’re absolutely right

Not to mention the stress they put on the deer herd while they are attempting to winter.

Great to see another late tag thread getting swamped with negativity. Man this forum is great.

The day I killed my buck with this tag I saw tons of people hiking, walking dogs and riding bikes. I don’t think it really effected my hunt at all. I’d love to have another crack at this hunt someday, good luck. For what it’s worth I helped another tag holder a few years back by sharing my experiences and texting back and forth about what he was seeing or not. He was starting to get a little discouraged, but scored a nice one right near the end. Stay the course

Are you referring to getting pulled over for no mud flaps?
I'm positive the tag holder and his son are having the time of their life.
Send us more pics JH.

Hopefully the officer was just telling you where to go.

Like 20 years since I’ve gotten pulled over for no mud flaps. Got talking hunting and diesel trucks and the young fella gave me a warning.

Wait a minute, it's illegal to drive without mud flaps? What's the law on that one? How do you own/drive an offroad vehicle (they snapped right off of my Toyota Tacoma one of my first offroading trips)

Tires have to be covered to centerline of axle.

Yep......

[2MANY]

Are you POSITIVE?
 


Kill a hog guys!!!
 

[meatwhack]

I’m positive on the centerline of axle. Been pulled over multiple times for it.

[fishngamereaper]

I'm just here for the deer hunt...

But it appears to have gone off the rails.

Keep at it op

[Heiny]

Still hunting

All such devices shall be as wide as the tires behind which they are mounted and extend downward at least to the center of the axle.
