My dad and I were also lucky enough to draw the Chewuch quality tag this year!  My fiancé had the buck tag last year, and my dad and I had the buck tag in 2016, so we are familiar with the area.  We saw a few nice muley bucks last year and weren't really looking very hard.  Snow seems to help push the deer down.

Just don’t pray for too much snow - I had the tag in 22 and got almost 3’ of snow in about 24hrs , pretty much destroyed the hunt at that point

Yea, that made it rough. I couldn't get to where I had been hunting and had to drop down to hunt little less familiar areas. The deer were down there too, I just couldn't find a big one. Nothing for me.

We have spent a lot of time over there this Summer learning more of the unit, in the event we get too much snow. The unit is BIG. Waiting on a migration route map, so we can focus a bit more on those areas specifically.
Seeing the posts and hearing other people's previous tag situations has been a great insight. I'm excited!
Praying for, just enough snow. 😁
I was hoping someone else on here drew the same tag, but no reply on that yet.
This Saturday we hiked in to check out some unfamiliar areas.
--if only cougar was open!!
Keep sharing the stories and insight, I appreciate it bunches!!!😊

 That was a once in 50+ year event, I’d not count on seeing another early November snow event like that anytime soon. I had a tag that year too, talked to several guys that gave up and went home.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

 :yeah: That snow made getting around tough for a few days and it moved some deer down but by no means was it a hunt killer, couldn't believe guys were calling it. 4 or 5 days later we were back up hunting close to 5000' again and still seeing deer. Killed my buck on a south facing slope around 4500' a week after the storm and it was ankle deep
