Title: Chiwawa Late Tag
Post by: ing on June 28, 2010, 04:42:01 PM: Finally after nine years I got a good tag. I drew one of two late muzzleload tags for the Chiwawa unit. Have any of you drew a tag in this unit before? If so lets see some pics of some nice bucks from this unit.

:yeah: I would bring 2 shovels and a change of underwear! Some of the roads up there have a 10 power pucker factor if there is any snow. We'd seen some real pigs up there during the hunt but the wife did OK! Good luck!

Post by: MtnMuley on June 29, 2010, 08:07:17 AM: Drew the rifle tag in 03. There are some big bucks that move in, but overall, I think the big buck populations are dwindling in there as well as the bordering units. :twocents: Good luck. :)

Post by: ing on June 29, 2010, 04:56:06 PM: Those are a couple of nice bucks. I'm really looking forward to this hunt

Post by: UBA on June 29, 2010, 05:05:33 PM: Seen some bruisers last year during the rifle hunt. All i can say is don't shoot the first four point you see. Congrads on drawing a sweet tag.

Post by: actionshooter on June 29, 2010, 05:22:41 PM: Chains for all 4 is the best advice I've seen.
Theres a few times we have driven in the ditch on purpose, that snow gets packed down in areas you can't see the bottom. :yike:
Title: Re: Chiwawa Late Tag
Post by: ing on June 29, 2010, 05:29:00 PM: Haha ok ok I'll make sure I bring my chains.

very good advice and don't forget to let some air out of your tires to this can make travel like night and day, I carry one of those air pumps that plug into the cig. lighter to air up when I reach pavement, and take a spray bottle of bleach put this on your tires if you get into a icy situation it will give traction to! Have fun you got a great tag

Post by: cle elum bowhunter on July 17, 2010, 11:19:12 PM: Ditto the chains for all 4. Ones with ice bars are nice, can be really hairy up there. Couple of migration routes to look at once the snow starts driving them down. Pm me if interested, I'll have to double check the boundary.
