Title: Peaches now changed to Observatory
Post by: Darian on July 28, 2024, 10:57:17 AM: Washington state did to me like many others--changed me to Observatory from Peaches ridge after many hours of scouting on google earth and and trips to the Norse Peak wilderness. I don't regret the time spent in the Norse Peak, its a wonderful area, but now I need to start over.
Any suggestions on big bull in Observatory.
A friend of mine shot a big bull in the Wenas wildlife area near Selah, so I will spend some time there. I also like the western edge of LT Murray around Frost Mtn and considering putting a wall tent camp there. I have hunted several years in Joe Watt canyon, but have been disappointed in the bull count there. Anyone's input is greatly appreciated.
