Thanks. I see unit borders the lake. Is it worthwhile to hunt from a boat?
In my opinion no, I wouldn’t even consider it. Way better access via the road system.

So looks like the whole unit is on fire. At what point do I throw in the towel and get points restored? Can't get into 90 percent of the unit as of today. Know it's a migration hunt but thinking if it hasn't greened up by Nov then deer won't hold in there. Thoughts?
I’d assume you’d see more.
You have up until 2 weeks before it starts. Wait

This is the link for information on the Twentyfive Mile fire, which has daily updates. Also, you can see from the fire map how much of the unit is affected (and the roads). Fire activity should be done by mid October if normal wet weather comes in. That should give time for scouting before the season opens. Good luck.

Thinking about heading over to do alittle scouting. Anyone know if the roads are still closed because of fire?
Thanks
Pretty much all of the roads to access Slide Ridge are closed. I went up there to try and check a trail camera and talked to some of the guys working. They're doing tons of road work and have closed a lot of the roads with the fire as an excuse. They've got BIIIIIGGG trucks trafficking those roads and they're grading the roads. Don't be a dumb a$$ and drive around a sign, because they're all watching and radio'ing to each other of people ignoring the signs and you'll put yourself and a truck in a bad situation.
The guy said that they're always headed out around 5-6pm each night so you could theoretically get close to seeing some evening game.
He said they're planning on being done and opening up the North side of the Chelan mountains at the end of October. The fire is fully contained, but it's still burning, too. Rough timing, for sure. Take that info for whatever it's worth to ya.

Great buck to the expecting mother! Is that nose what they call a "roman" nose when describing old mature mule deer?
Hard to tell from angle, but roman nose bucks have a huge bump in between eyes and actual nose on the top of snout. It is really pronounced on old bucks. Almost looks like they have a wound or cartilage built up under skin on bridge of nose bone. The scull looks normal when you skin them out. The bucks I have harvested with a roman nose have gotten completely ground into hamburger/peperoni, as they weren't good meat from age.

Congratulations on the buck! I indeed turn in my tag to restore points. Maybe in 16 more years can draw again
Bold move, hopefully you get drawn again soon!
