Late Alta Muzzy
« on: October 15, 2025, 10:24:17 PM »
I was lucky to pull a late Alta Muzzy tag. I have had the tag twice before, ate the tag 1st time and I tipped over a nice one the 2nd. It will be weird without dad who passed 6 years ago, but I hope to have a fun hunt. So far I am solo and the guy that let me camp on his place has moved to Alaska. Not sure where I will call home camp but the wall tent will go just about anywhere. I am planning on taking the whole season and will be looking a 3 point or better while you guys are eating turkey. I have a pretty cool camera and hope to keep a running narrative with photos on this thread.

I live just across the river near Methow. If you need help, don't hesitate to holler.

Well.
 Day 1. Saw 1 whitetail doe....It was slow during my 1
previous hunting I always tried to get to the Black Pine Lake campground but the snow was too deep, so I crossed that off the bucket list today. Slow day saw no mule deer except the town locals. Ended the day with the tail/brake lights not turn off with the pickup off and locked at my tent.  Trouble shot a little and pulled the battery cables for the night.
Day 2 So far think I found the issue with brake lights as the rubber bumper is missing that attached to the brake pedal/switch. Made me late getting to "the spot" and another rig was already there. Kinda wandered around a little then went to Wintrop to see if 3 Fingers Jacks was going to open for thanksgiving, my kid might come join me for Thursday, they are closed for the week.  :bash: Stopped at NAPA to try to find something to use as that rubber bumper and the ABS Brake lights started blinking red.--Now sitting in Les Schwab. At least it's not Thursday but this is a frustrating start, I hope I only lose 1 day.

Good luck!  Mule deer hunting beats eating turkey any day.

Check your taillights for cracks, if there is water in the bottom can make you lights stay on.
Just happen to me. Also sending you pm for a place to check.

Day 3 so far, ABS/Brake issue Les Schwab could not find an issue and the error did not come on again. At least no charge. Brake light issue is the missed rubber stop, annoying but workable. 2-4 Inches of new snow, spotted 3 more whitetail does up high. I think I am up way too high, shocked at the lack of any prints in the fresh snow.  Good times, great views and no fog so far.  Went to the top of Black Canyon glassed a lot. Only a couple prints between black top and top. Did see a wolf close in.
