Hunting Pack Trips
 Aaron Lee and Judy Burkhart, owners of Early Winters
Outfitting and Saddle Co., would like to invite you to hunt with
them this fall and celebrate over 30 years of outfitting. Aaron has lived in the Mazama area for 50 years. Judy operates
the riding stable and repairs and builds tack and cooks on pack trips.
Aaron began packing under Jack Wilson's watchful eye in 1973, and has
developed a reputation for being one of the most knowledgeable packers
in the North Cascades. Avid hunters and anglers, Aaron and Judy are considered
by most locals to have an "inside track" on the location of
trophy mule deer and trout. So make your reservations today! EWOSC is
licensed under the U. S. Forest Service in the Pasayten Wilderness and
Okanogan National Forest. EWOSC is an equal opportunity recreation service
provider. We would like to thank our staff and helpers.
We would like to dedicate this page to Steve Johnson and his nephew who hunted with us for many years: as well as Cam Pierce, who helped on out pack trips for many years. They will be greatly missed.

The
2012 Hunting Season Overview
2012 had its ups and downs. The high hunt was nick-named: "the high temperature hunt", with most days in the high 80s and low 90s. With only a handful of bucks taken, though one was wide and nice. All in all, we harvested 27 bucks, 24 mule and 3 whitetail this year. The general season was very productive with several camps filing tags. |
The
2013 Hunting Outlook
Similar to last year, but post season buck counts were the highest since the counts started and the percentage of three point or better higher since the implementation of the three point rule in 1997. Buck counts of 34 bucks per 100 does were recorded. Fawn counts are at 78 fawns per 100 does. Mid January snow pack is above normal and temps have not been too cold. Providing winter is not too severe through February and March, the fall of 2013 could, again, be very exciting and productive |
Custom Orders
We are now taking orders for custom made saddles, rifle slings and scabbards.
