It's not set in stone. I just don't think it would be feasible to take multiple trips much more than 2hrs away.

Yep....that would be tough. Good luck this coming season gettting it done. Lots of good ideas to help so far.

Most definitely some good leads. My biggest problem is understand where it's actually legal to hunt.

Figuring out the legality is the easy part.  If I just wanted to kill a deer, I would go to one of the more successful areas in E. Washington.  Many of them should give you multiple chances to kill a buck.

It can be a challenge driving for hours multiple trips but the more work you put in the better chance you will hve for success. I drive 2 hours each way every other week starting in april to Sept . In august its every 5 days or so. All to keep tabs on my animals and pull sd cards. Am I overboard? Sometimes I think so, but I have been very successful. It sounds like you want it bad. Go hard even when you don't want to. It'll all be worth it when you wrap your hands around the main beams.

There are plenty of deer / legal bucks  and areas to hunt up at Snoqualmie pass.  Exactly a one hour drive  from Seattle.  Do some scouting and look at the terrain you are hunting in regards to other hunters and using them to drive the deer your way.  Get up higher before light and find some escape corridors to the higher / safer ground.  Opening day is best, it will get harder from then on.   Mike

 Google Earth and buy a public lands quadrangle map along with a DeLorme of WA state and the game regs. This site will also help alot by putting in a search and also asking ?'s about areas you can find in your quest.

Lots of land out of North Bend to walk behind gates for blacktail,,too bad about your bow arm sorry to hear that...an early season mulie doe is almost a guarantee

[huntnphool]

If you are talking about mule deer then you should be out right now checking where they winter. When the season comes around you will know where they are heading and can plan to intercept them on their migration.

If I were in your shoes, I would double or triple up with a few other members who have a similar desire. Split the cost with them.

for black tail just start going to timber company lands that allow walk in and start hiking. the more time spent the better your odds. But if you hike long enough behind a gate during late buck you should have no problem whacking one. id like to see you get one with pics to prove it, just so i can be sure your not a complete  liberal progressive bunny hugging greenie. Just joking, if i hurt your feelings im sorry. good luck!

They say days spent afield arent subtracted from life, so some of us might live forever

Mags if you get to eburg I can give you a few starting points....drawback is rifle over here is a zoo, and its 3 point or better..... usually I only offer up my spots to other females but you have taken a beating here and I'll help you out but you gotta get over this way ....

[zackmioli]

tons are places within 2 miles of seattle. you could head south or north. get into the hills and just start lookin man! look at the harvest reports for gmus and just choose a place you wanna explore!

[Three_Oh_Eight]

There are some areas that allow you to take a spike around Shelton/Matlock.  We see spikes in there quite a bit.  There are also some real nice deer, so most people hold out.  Time in the woods is key.  If you're not in the woods, you won't see any deer.
