Can't give much of a snow report past Saturday evening but I drove thru alot of it with my Forester with no issues....I saw a heavy 4x4 and a decent 5x6 (not heavy, kinda spindly but wide) duking it out, if you have onx pm me your number and i'll text you the pin.

Post by: boneaddict on November 07, 2022, 11:21:19 AM: My guess would be 8 to 10 inches, but it’s sun and 42 in the Wenas at the moment, so who knows in any short order.

Post by: wazzu99 on November 07, 2022, 02:11:39 PM: I've got my uncle up there right now with the tag. 6 to 7 inches on the ground and snowing lightly. He's solo right now until later in the week.

Best advise pack two or three 2x4 with nails sticking out and plant on any closed road you plan to hike out and hunt. Got pretty frustrating to hike a mile down a closed ridge road and have the 3/4 ton white ford or red yota drive past you.

Post by: CBP1888 on November 07, 2022, 04:01:45 PM: I’m headed up Friday thru the following week. I wanted to let the rut really get going and to let the deer settle down after the elk hunters left. I did some scouting this summer. The East side was a fire pit, I don’t know if the snow will push them down into the area near the Columbia River. We will see. If any of you are up in the area and need some assistance , let me know. If any of you are Chukar hunters, hit me up, ran into a lot late October.

I’m doing the same thing. I’m so excited though I’ve already checked out at work mentally. I really should just call in sick and leave now.
