Well I wish you luck.  You won't be the only father son combo going on.  As you saw elsewhere on here, my Dad drew a tag in the Methow finally.  He's a tough client, but we will get that heavy antlered monster for him.  He needs a big muley for the wall.

i also drew the entiat tag, and to my surprise with only 2 points. As you could imagine, i had a lot of angry friends. I plan on taking all of my vacation and spending all 18 days in there. I'm looking for at least a 170" buck. As for camp, we are taking a wall tent in, but i will be in there 12 of the 18 days by myself (if it takes that long).

I plan on scouting as much as possible and going over with some friends to hunt the general season. Hopefully my 170" is a realistic goal. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance and good luck.

I think 170" is a very realistic goal, especially if you plan on spending that much time in there. The biggest issue is whether the snow pushes the migratory deer down or not.
Also, the animals you will see during your scouting and general season hunting will not be the animals you will be hunting during the late hunt. The migratory deer do not generally move down until early November. I wouldn't get too discouraged if you were seeing much in October.
Good luck. I had the Chiwawa tag a couple years ago and took my biggest buck I have taken. It was only about 160" but still a nice buck. I was by myself and a little too trigger happy but I am not complaining.

I'm not going in scouting to look at deer, just to scope out the country. I'm sure there are some resident deer in there, but those aren't the deer i'm targeting.

It's good to know that my 170" goal is reasonable. Hopefully I can talk my buddy in to staying as long as it takes for me to kill. It sure would be nice to have an extra set of eyes in there. Also I'm going to need someone to hold me back from the first 150" buck I see. I tend to get an itchy trigger finger.

hey finnman,

those are some dandy's. I've seen several pictures of both of those bucks before. Any info you have on the entiat unit would be helpful, I also understand if you have some "honey holes" you don't want to share. I would just like to know a little bit about the country.

pm me with any info, i would greatly appreciate it.

hey guys here's the kids deer from last year!  Not a bad Blacktail!!  he's shot a bigger buck every year since he started 5 yrs ago!  So this year it's gotta be 126 B@C or bigger to keep the streak alive!
