Title: Chewuch whitetail permit
Post by: archer0135 on October 24, 2017, 08:49:35 PM: I have a Chewuch whitetail permit for Nov 1-20. I will only be able to go Nov 1-5. Anyone have any advise for me?

Like most Whitetail, they know how to read signs and know where they are safe!! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: Goldeneye on October 25, 2017, 10:06:22 PM: Here's a meat buck I shot in that unit about 6 years ago (I haven't took a whitey there since). Found him in a creek bottom on public land. Not a trophy, but very tasty. A .348 to the neck planted him quickly.

Title: Re: Chewuch whitetail permit
Post by: mkcj on October 26, 2017, 12:48:41 AM: All of these bucks spent at least part of their time on public ground that can be accessed off of the East Chewuch road. also you'll find whitetails between the 8 mile ranch up to ortell creek rd along 8 mile creek.

Post by: 7mmfan on October 26, 2017, 08:29:05 AM: Don't overlook the stuff in the river bottom between Rendevous and Goat Creek Rd. Theres a fair amount of public land in there, and those whitetail will get up on the hillside on the east side of the highway often as well. Learn the property boundaries and get after it.

It's not your fault. Unfortunately Photobucket has made it so you have to pay to be able to share the photos you host on their site.

Post by: archer0135 on October 26, 2017, 09:07:09 AM: Thanks 7mmfan!!!! I could see the photos on my IPad earlier. I'll look tonight and try and screenshot them and repost for you guys.

Got up at 330am, drove to winthrop, shot him at 330PM at 330yds, it was just meant to be.

Post by: lipripper on October 27, 2017, 07:48:32 AM: Get the onx subscription-- put the app on your phone--- But before you go save the map areas you plan to hunt ---then when you are over there, go off line and put your phone on Airplane Mode. Saves batteries and offline makes it quick on the map. Bottom right corner there is a track button, turn that on when you are hunting, then if you are on a public private line and you shoot a deer, you will know right where you are. Really a slick system-- works good on the wet side too with the track in the thick stuff---

From jlevers on adventure riders web site.

Hey guys,

I wrote a Google Chrome browser extension that, once installed, will make all broken Photobucket images on any webpage visible again. To install it, if you're using Google Chrome, just go to this link, click Add to Chrome, and you're good to go! From then on, any page you visit with broken Photobucket images will show up as they did before Photobucket nuked them. You don't click on anything, or do anything else, to get the pictures to be fixed. It happens automatically. They will not be fixed for anyone else -- they will just show up as fixed for people using the browser extension.

In case anyone wants to look at the code behind the extension, you can look at it here: https://github.com/TheAtomicGoose/pbfix

Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps!

Title: Re: Chewuch whitetail permit
Post by: archer0135 on November 05, 2017, 10:56:01 AM: Well unfortunately I had an last minute emergency at work, and had to cancel my hunt ( I'm a diesel mechanic and had a machine blow an engine) Hoping to sneak over for a couple days before the season ends but that's really iffy. Keep me posted on how you do rem/sav300

Will Do! heading out friday after work. Put out a trail cam opening weekend of mod season in the river bottom. checking that friday night and putting together a game plan for saturday. If i get some good trail cam pics i will put those up too. Hope you can make it over. even for a day, the tag is "any white-tail deer" so you might be able to find a doe and fill the freezer.

Hopefully my next post is a handfull of white-tail something! haha

Post by: Ridgerunner50 on November 10, 2017, 11:28:44 AM: I just herd a shot behind my house at the bottom of Cub Creek, sounds like it cam from the small wildlife area off of the East Chewuch. Hopefully someone on the late Whitetail hunt just notched their tag. Especially with all the big cat tracks I am seeing along the creek.
Title: Re: Chewuch whitetail permit
Post by: bigmacc on November 10, 2017, 05:08:49 PM: I know some fellas that were chasing a big cat around there 2 weeks ago, hopefully they got it! I have never seen or heard of so many cougars in the Methow !!!! Not good :'(

Title: Re: Chewuch whitetail permit
Post by: archer0135 on November 26, 2017, 10:11:43 AM: Never made it over. I hunted late blacktail on the west side with kids instead. My youngest son was able to get a nice little forked horn.
