Post by: 180-GRAIN on November 10, 2015, 08:15:21 AM: First buck I saw Saturday was a big one 7x5 had a kicker on one side. Tall and heavy. I second guessed it and by the time I figured I would go after him he was already onto us. Seen a few decent 4 points after that but nothing special. The rut action was not going strong yet. Did see a couple bucks pushing does but not what I was expecting yet. Hopefully it gets better next weekend.

Spent time at snow line Saturday. That's where bucks were pushing.

Post by: MtnMuley on November 10, 2015, 06:52:13 PM: For what it's worth, I don't hesitate to shoot a buck like the 7x5 with a kicker that was tall and heavy like described with a Chiwawa tag day 1. :twocents: Hope you get a better one :tup:

Trust me if I could kick myself in the nuts I would!

Post by: MtnMuley on November 10, 2015, 07:20:52 PM: Hope you still tag a good one. I actually happened to "see" not pass a 7x5 tall and heavy buck with that tag in 03, but was lucky enough to see him at 50 yds broadside a week later and have him on my wall. :chuckle:

Well I hope your buddy is willing to put some boots on the ground. If he is he could get a dandy. Or he will be one of those lucky road hunters like a guy I heard of last year shooting a bull elk and rolling it into the back of there pick up. Never my luck. Good luck to your "buddy"

Post by: kirkl on November 10, 2015, 09:39:58 PM: I had a late tag this year and far as I'm concerned boots on the ground is a waste of time. Gotta drive and glass. Those bucks are always moving. We hiked quit a bit and would see a couple does and 2pts. Saw way more deer driving and glassing.

Post by: NOCK NOCK on November 11, 2015, 04:47:06 PM: Not many deer in the lower Tyee area yet. Spent some time in there today and only saw a handful of deer.

Post by: boneaddict on November 12, 2015, 06:57:23 AM: Rut fired early about one solid week early. Second estrous I assume will fire a week early as well. Bucks are tired. Look for them on the ground.
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: Skyvalhunter on November 12, 2015, 07:09:45 AM: Part of the problem is if the snow hasn't moved most of the does down the Big boys aren't forced to come down to breed when they can do it up high. This next round of wet/windy weather with high snow levels doesn't help. There is suppose to be another cold front next week so hopefully that helps to move them. Like they say hunt at snow line
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: teanawayslayer on November 17, 2015, 08:49:40 AM: My buddy smacked a decent 3x4 with eye guards yesterday. Not many deer moving around yet. Wish the weather would have came sooner.

it should get them moving. Wish my buddy would have held out another couple of days. Oh well he's happy.
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: Skyvalhunter on November 20, 2015, 11:47:32 AM: Well they better liven up pretty fast since this is the 20th
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: 180-GRAIN on November 20, 2015, 02:21:26 PM: I hunted hard and passed 6 deer in the 150-165 class holding out for a 170 plus. I stuck to my goal and last day I had to hunt I ended up taking a 3 point on the way back to break camp. I seen probably 5-600 deer the 8 days I hunted the tag just not the big deer I was after.
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: Ridgerunner on November 20, 2015, 05:43:32 PM: Thanks for the report. Way to stick to your guns and keep looking for what you really wanted.
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: 7mmfan on November 21, 2015, 08:34:25 AM: Sounds like a great hunt. To bad you couldn't find the monster but you spent lots of time in the woods looking at bucks, saw tons of deer it sounds like, and ended up going home with some meat in the freezer. Good work :tup:
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: Skyvalhunter on December 02, 2015, 05:44:04 AM: The big boys were still up high in the Chiwawa last weekend. Looks like some survived to pass on their genes.
Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: benhuntin on December 02, 2015, 07:13:26 AM: Nice one was killed yesterday. Two more tags are n there group. They said they aren't seein a lot of bucks.

Post by: Shank on December 02, 2015, 07:39:54 AM: What part of the unit is everyone seeing Deer in? Just curious, I spend most of my time in the Mad river area, and see few deer

Title: Re: How are the late chiwawa tags coming along?
Post by: WAcoueshunter on December 02, 2015, 09:14:18 AM: I was up there last weekend getting Xmas trees in Swakane and Chiwawa. Didn't see a single deer in some of the transition areas where I normally see them, and the tracks in the snow all appeared pretty old. Think a lot of the deer already migrated lower with the earlier snows, and there are still some up higher that have yet to come down. The clear cold weather last week didn't give them any reason to move around.

Any chance it was three brothers that drew as a group?
