Hey all,
Been in the coast guard 17 years and lived all over the place. Finally settled back here in Lake Oswego, working in Portland. I’m originally from walla walla.
I am trying to teach myself to hunt. I had just figured out a little about whitetail last year on my first year hunting at my...
Awesome thanks for the update.
I moved down lower and glassed this all day and haven’t seen a deer move. Maybe you’re right and everything just got blasted the first couple weeks of the season? I’ll try and upload a picture

Hey all,
Been putting lots of miles driving around unit 340 looking for a doe. Haven’t seen a single deer through 300 miles of driving and prob 15 miles of hiking.
I started up around 7-8k mark but I’m wondering how much this snow has affected their whereabouts.
This is my first year...
Thank you all so much, just boarded the plane and can’t wait to get out there.
That’s a huge heard, I think I see how glassing could be beneficial even if you aren’t seeing the elk at the moment; a massive heard like that should have a trail that you could see. I understand all aren’t that...
Wow, did you get a glimpse of them through your glass before hiking up there or did you have to climb up that high blindly?
Thanks!

That makes sense, the snow there came from first storm of the season so I could see your point that it may not have even budged them as it was first taste of winter
Thanks!

This is the site i have been using to look at snow levels.

It opens in google earth, not sure if it’s the same one others are using but seems really helpful.
Sounds like I should put the snow shoes in my travel bag!!!!

Holy smokes, I wasn’t getting notifications on my phone of replies!
So much great info here. Thank you all! Can’t wait to start getting out there and hunting.
The biologist basically told me to go to the area with least roads and hike through timber. So it doesn’t sound to me that there will...
Thanks Tod, appreciate that. Movement is the name of the game eh? How many miles would you say you typically cover per day? Or are you breaking your days up by glassing location. Like two hikes per day, each one to different glassing knobs? Thank you!

Hey all,
Headed out on my first elk hunt. It’s for cows in Montana. I’ve been watching the snow depth on google earth pro overlays. I haven’t been able to get an answer on where people think they are at this time of year, which seems to be in part due to it depends on food and snow levels...
Good morning,
Drew a cow and doe tag for unit 340. Not trying to get anyones honey holes, but I’m trying to get a gauge on what elevation I should be E scouting. I found a MVUM but am intimidated to make plans for trailheads not knowing where I’ll be able to get my rental car. I’ve been using...
