Isn't funny that some one with 3 post has the balls to say "stay on your side". LMAO......really, grow up.
his 1st post was asking for help...good luck with that.
we saw lots of small bucks in the swakane...lots of people and a little snow down into the canyon that is probably all but gone in there now. lots of people...did i say that?
saw 2 shooter bucks in 3 days, 1 nice 4x4 killed and thats about it. 30-40 deer a day, tons of little 2x2's and spikes.
unfortunately all the hunters got crammed into one week of season this year, which really made it crowded. aside from that it was a great weekend.

Didn't get a buck, had two bucks just inside the pines about 100 yards down the hill. Ran along the opposite side of the ridge to see if I could head them off for an ambush, but it didn't turn out. Another doe and her fawn from this year came in there. Wind was right so they didn't know I was right above them. Just watched them browse for a while. End of the day, I hunted the mountain top, in a snow covered clear cut. More does up there. Snow was crusty and noisy, so easier to hear the deer moving. There are some big deer in there based on the tracks and fresh sign all over the place. Kind of fun just watching the does. Seems I was onto a new set of deer every other hour. The evening light was yellow and orange which reflected on the snow and made the pine needles glow in the snow-free areas. Two more does ahead of me on the way down the hill they were moving in the direction of my truck.
Someone got a buck higher on the mountain Friday afternoon. Didn't get to see it though.

The hunting pressure was stupid. the amount of hunters up there this season will with out a doubt push fish and game into taking our general hunt and turning it into a full out draw. It was great hunting up there. the other thing is guys up there this year had no huntind edicit or respect for other hunters. heard to many stories about guys running off bucks out from under other guys thats just out of controle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:yeah: I hear ya!!!!! And yes you are probably right in regards to the hunt being pulled from a general late season. The last few years has been horrible for hunting pressure. I think the multi-season permits are at least partially to blame...I think alot of guys are using this hunt as a back up/last desperate attempt to fill a tag, if not successfull during the modern seasons. :dunno: I doubt the WDFW will get rid of the multi season option any time soon....especially now when things are tight....they make to much money on it.

curious to know if the guys who are blaming the multiseason tag on the crowds in the swakane are applying for them too?
also...remember all the hunters are crammed into 1 week of season rather than 2...
also remember there's still a whole lot of bowhunting season still open...till the end of december even...so it's not a last ditch effort for some.
i haven't even started my last ditch effort yet.

Next year they are giving out 2000 multi-season deer and 600 multi-season elk. You better bet they arn't getting rid of that tag.
