I wasn’t too far away a couple days ago and it appeared there was a skiff. I think I had more snow in my yard last week when it snowed than that on top of Sherman Pass. As others mentioned, changes are on the horizon

Post by: HookedOnQuack on November 20, 2018, 09:03:29 PM: I'll be at the in-laws in Leavenworth for the weekend and could prob get away for a few hours if you needed an extra pack mule!

Post by: Dirtnap on November 20, 2018, 10:17:23 PM: I appreciate the offer.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: WAcoueshunter on November 26, 2018, 10:19:04 AM: Finally got some snow up there, just in time for the muzzy tag. I was up there on Friday. Lots of deer activity, maybe 5" of snow on top. Now just need a break in the weather so you can see them! Good luck!
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: Dirtnap on November 26, 2018, 01:42:20 PM: Not seeing many deer lots of tracks and Christmas tree hunters
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: WAcoueshunter on November 26, 2018, 02:42:10 PM: Any visibility? I imagine it's pretty socked in up there right now. Looks like tomorrow and Wednesday might be better.

Post by: actionshooter on November 26, 2018, 02:58:18 PM: Perfect timing on the snow!
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: jrebel on November 26, 2018, 03:15:09 PM: Was at french coral today and the fog is crazy thick. The tracks are starting to move east......now is the the time, deer activity is the best I have seen in the last few weeks.

I can't believe the amount of people on the roads without chains. I saw where one guy went off the road and multiple close calls. I am still waiting for pics to surface of the one that went off. I hear it was salvaged by 4 to 5 other trucks....but was close to going to the bottom. The roads are always horrible in this neck of the woods.

Post by: Dirtnap on November 30, 2018, 07:37:58 AM: Well I’m going to keep it short. This was by far the most disappointing hunting experience of my life. Very little deer activity. Lots of cougar tracks. Washington’s deer population is hurting bad.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: Ridgerunner on November 30, 2018, 08:28:03 AM: Well thats not a good report at all.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: Birdguy on November 30, 2018, 08:44:48 AM: That sucks, was hoping for much better! Guess I am not surprised.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: teanawayslayer on November 30, 2018, 03:43:21 PM: Bummer man I was pulling for you!
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: Dirtnap on November 30, 2018, 05:21:53 PM: Thanks Heath. I still appreciate your help.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: jrebel on November 30, 2018, 05:51:48 PM: I would have thought this was the year for that tag. Snow came at the perfect time. Sucks the hunt didn't go well.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: Mtnwalker on November 30, 2018, 06:30:03 PM: Bummer. Hopefully all these disappointed hunters are bombarding the new FW commissioner with letters.
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: WAcoueshunter on November 30, 2018, 09:55:53 PM: Tough week of weather, think they only had one day when you could see much. Downside of the short muzzy season. Also doesn’t help that the 5700 road is closed. At least I believe that’s still the case? :dunno:

No need for chains if people knew how to lower their air pressure
Title: Re: Chiwawa muzzy permit
Post by: Dirtnap on December 01, 2018, 02:19:54 AM: 5700 closed and Saturday and Sunday the open roads looked like I-5 trafffic. Lots of Christmas tree hunters, dogs running up and down the road and kids sledding. All that traffic compacted the snow. The next couple days it rain then froze and the roads became worse.
