sultan basin prospects.
« on: March 14, 2013, 08:59:42 PM »
im thinking about focusing abound the sultan basin area for deer this season, and im just wondering if the area is a zoo come hunting season, or if ill be able to hike in a few miles and find some solitary areas to hunt. im thinking about hiking in and maybe setting up a mineral lick with a trail cam, and possible some corn and see what the area holds. im not looking for anyone honey holes or anything, but hoping someone may have more experience with the area and what its like during season.

I use to hunt around the lake. Killed a bear and seen very little deer. I know they are there but just hard to find at lease by the lake. Lots of bear though.

from what ive heard there plenty of bear in the area. im thinking a little lower down from the lake around recently logged area. my wife is due in june, so im planning on staying close to home this year just in case the baby or her need me, so im trying to figure this area out just  in case we cant make it out to the east side.

I used to hunt Duval a lot. Seen lots of deer off cedar ponds road,gated roads off of Ben Howard rd,and stosal creek rd. Killed a few in there years ago. Pritty much all gated now. I was looking at Google earth and there is still a lot of logging going on miles in. I seen a few people mounting bike hunting. Lots of deer but miles in. I seen lots of big bucks before the gates. good luck.

When I lived on the westside in Monroe,   I found the mountain bike very useful for exploring and hunting a few of the nooks and crannies in the Sultan Basin area...    ;)

ive considered this, especially if i do get a shot off , itll help a bit to pack everything out if im a few miles in.

There is some really nice deer but they are further back in then most people want to go.  Plenty of bears and cats too.
