How bout Late Season?
I work Shift Work and am due Home Oct 23.....too late?
I recognize snow could potentially hold one back.

Depends on the area you hunt .Most of the deer migrate down to wintering areas by that time. You will find the big dear in the alpine/subalpine in close proximity to wintering area fringe timber .Pre rut is a challenge but if there are doe's in the clear cuts the mature bucks are within smelling distance downwind, glass the timberline in the direction of the prevailing winds and the fringe high country.Just my observations over the years.

Good bucks!!!

Wouldnt really call that true alpine though. Certainly not the one in a cut block.

Don't see any pictures from you ! 7000 feet not alpine? 5600 sub alpine lets get technical

The only pics you'll see here is that of fancy hunting gear not used to kill any alpine bucks. Lol.

If 7,000ft ain’t alpine, I don’t know what is.

Come on fellas! Let’s see whatcha got...crack open that vault of big buck pictures for us wannabe big buck hunters

For a guy who's never made a contribution to this site you sure do a lot of yapping, where are your big buck pictures

Alpine is areas predominantly above the tree line.

Shrubs and patches of smaller trees below the line is subalpine. Anything below that is simply timber.

5600feet with stumps around is just a timber area. It's not subalpine.

Im not saying it to take away from your buck pics. Just that getting technical IS important because certain tips are specifically applicable to alpine and early season hunts.

Pics from me? Click on my profile and search by "threads started". There are plenty.

I would hate to say it but I know twoSeven0 has this one down. The guy gets after quality alpine bucks year after year.

Heres a few pictures from our last outing together, Gary has put about 35-40 days in the Alpine already this year, he felt sorry for me so dragged me along for a hike, Im living proof chubby guys can hunt in the Alpine !
