Hornseeker,

Nothing yet.......I thought you had him tied up for me!  :dunno:

Heading NE or to Wenatchee/Chelan on Friday depending on the weather.  I think it's dumping today and tomorrow so a lot will depend on mother nature.  I don't have access to sleds this weekend and the truck may be pushing snow in Entiat/Swakane areas.  As long as it clears up a bit to glass I think I'll see some deer.

I've heard there are a couple of lunkers out there.....

Pretty cloudy up high in those areas. Not much snow over night here in Wenatchee, not sure about up there but it stopped snowing around midnight here a few miles outside of town.

If you get stuck, need help getting a deer out, etc.. around Wenatchee Im normally free just about everyday and have a few buddies who wouldn't mind helping out either Im sure.

UPDATE:

Drove over Snoqualmie and Blewitt on Thursday night.....Went into Entiat but the fog was low so we had to stay up a little higher to stay above it.  It was beautiful and saw about 120 deer but nothing over 180'.  There was one "should I" moment with a 30' buck, uphill, broadside at 309 yards.  Easiest pack/shot you could ask for but he had really small forks........Pics were taken but it's up to the person who took them if they want to post.   ;)

Saturday was fogged in everywhere and then is started to dump around 1pm....

End of my weekend.

Heading out Saturday and not going home until Xmas or it's down!   Thanks for the support guys!

Not sure if this question has been asked but here it is......

You're holding out for a trophy buck, however to many of us if we had that tag we'd already have it notched.  So with that, if you take it down to the last day and still do not see "the one" are you going to harvest a buck just to fill the tag or would you eat it and not settle on a buck that you have already passed up?  Probably hard to answer or maybe you already have your mind made up.  Just curious, I hope you dont even have to worry about it and knock one down next trip out.  Good luck.
