Anyways the warning is that if you come through the gate at Joe Watt watch out. There is one hell of a wasp nest in the hinge side post and they are pissed off! They followed me almost hundred yards past the gate swarming the truck and trailer.
I'll keep updating what I see/hear.

Got on to my first bull today. 9:30 am. His bugle was a short mild two tone with a little bit of crack in the pitch of his voice. What does that bugle mean? A locate I'm thinking? I listened to him for 40 min then backed out. He was moving on a hillside raking a few trees. No chuckles, or grunts.It means don't get too close and blow him out of the country!!

lol, I stayed way away undetected across a draw. Also the whole hillside I was on was tracked up! Going to keep my distance from there for sure.Got on to my first bull today. 9:30 am.

Run down or call Whispering Pines RV in Cle Elum the repair guy can fix almost anything. They also charge just 10.00 a night to dry camp. Way cheap for showers and restrooms.i would but I'm almost 8 miles up. Not gonna pack up now. Gonna stick it out with the generator and space heater.

All you have to do is clean out the thermal coupler... It's actually REALLY easy. Do you have access to air? If so, just blow it out... If not, you can clean it with a piece of wire. It's the same principle as a clogged jet in a carburetor. It's located just before the pilot light. Call me and I can trouble shoot it with you.... I'll call you in the morning. It's screwed. Can't get to it from the outside, it's mounted under the bunk. It's only three years old. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Pm your number not sure if I still have it.

Being cold will just make you get out of bed earlier!thanks! Listened to one of the Bulls I heard last night again this morning. Same two Bulls have been hanging in the same areas.

That new of a trailer shoukd have intermittent spark ignition
So no pilot light or thermocouple. Probably has a flame sensor
Same principle but cleaning them rarely works. It usually needs replacement.
Cheap part if you can get to it.

Funny how when you get up here in the woods you have all the time in the world with nothing to do and I can't even keep up with updates. The first two mornings Bulls were absolutely screaming up here. Good time for sure.

Good luck Sled! Seems to me there is always a lull after the first few days of hunting due to the pressure then as the week goes on and pressure decreases things rebound a bit towards the end. Give 'em hell! We're pulling for you!:yeah: I experinced the same thing last year with my quality muzzy tag. Goodluck! Shoot straight. :tup:

That thing is awesome, and ugly! :chuckle:. I think he may have been an older buck. Big body. The fat on him was unreal! He was with a 2pt and 7 does. It's weird but seems they are chasing does already from others I've talked to. This is the third legal buck I've seen. Had to take him at 20 yards.

I'm sorry, busy unpacking and dealing with my deer today. I'll try to write more of a story tomorrow. I have many to thank for this hunt for pms, and pack out help! This is an awsome site and believe that I karma came back for helping others even though I didn't get a bull. I accomplished and failed in my goals on this hunt.You left it all on the mountain man, and hunted till the end. There is no failure in that. Quality tags in general season units are tough. The tags themselves put a lot of pressure on a guy. I just hope you had fun :tup:
