I went up last weekend and put the trail cam by Harts pass in an area I hunted last year and plan on hunting this year.

It was snowing and sticking. I plan on picking it up either opening day Modern firearm (Oct 17th) or shortly after (so bout 2 weeks).

The question is...do you think I will be able to pick it up this fall, or have to wait till next spring..?

I will post the results when/if I get it back.

I'm going over on Thursday night, if you need me to go get it Friday morning... Send me a PM and I'll throw you my cell number. Hell... Since there are a few of us going to the Mazama area... I wonder if we should all have a little 3 Finger Jacks GetToGether Friday?

I didn't plan on running to town, but I could. -after I go get that trail cam.

Should be fun! I hope it gets chilly for us!

I would go to three fingers...but I have a hard time leaving a bar...so I fully avoid them during season.

I keep wondering how my cam is doing up there...or if it is even running now cause of how cold it got...running down the batteries ya know...

If you see a white toyota parked at a near by trail head that's me, I'll be up freezing on a ridge somewhere! Good luck guys. BRING ON THE SNOW. (hope you get your cam though)

SHould be quite the party. I probably wont see anything cept for the 3 does and fawn I jumped when I placed the cam.

I'll be in the area.. should be balls cold. It was 13 degrees Sunday morning at my place

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2009, 12:35:22 PM »

13 in Winthrop last night.

Now that my youngest boy is coming with me for the opener, I won't make it quite as high up as you guys until later in the week.

On Thursday evening, if you see a white F250 4x4 with 29' camp trailer skidding east off the pass without brakes and lights hell bent for hunt camp somewhere between west Chewuck and Mazama, -if it looks like the rig is totally out of control and gonna hurt someone, (ME!), then shoot the trailer tires out first, OK.

What do you guys think, how low will snow be on the opener? Elevation wise? I don't get to head over till 5:00 friday, takes probaly over 4 hours to get up to where we park, then hike 5 miles in to camp.

At least I have my sleeping bag waiting for me up there.

The valley floor has several inches now. Dead horse point out to be fun.

I checked out the WSDOT cmaera on Sunmountain just before dark and it was WHITE

Dead horse is almost too easy of a drive now that they widened it. I think its gonna warm up slightly before opening day...

we'll see.

Wonder how my cam is doing? Deader than a doornail probably...or buried in white stuff..

Will he find his lost car keys...?

boneaddict · « **Reply #18 on:** October 22, 2009, 02:42:51 PM »

I wondered if this turned out.

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #19 on:** October 22, 2009, 09:47:20 PM »

Kind of wondering the same....Sounds like more snow is on the way.

saylean · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2009, 09:02:08 AM »

To all the inquiring minds,...

I retreived the cam the day after opener without issue. Had mainly does on it.

Its a good thing I got the camera that day and not later in season, as I lost my keys...but thats another story.

Still, it was great anticipating it. There was no snow when I picked it up, although it was very icy that morning.
