Conconully 2nd deer

[Elkrunner]

Hey there fellow Hunt-WA members.

I drew the conconully 2nd deer tag this year.  I typically go for the methow as I have access to more land over there but drew this as my 2nd.  I have access to 2 smaller land plots in this region.  My question to anyone who has been successful with this tag.  Is there much private land, possibly some fiendly land owners etc. PM me if anyone is willing to share some info.  I am going to possibly head up there in 2 weeks and look around.

It's ALL private land.  Deer Area 2016 is private land only per the regs.  The upper valley has some alfalfa (and other crops), and I'd guess those landowners would be happy to have people shoot the does eating their crops.  Others will know better - I'm just a guest up there.

MtnMutley...don't really get your humor. I was just trying to help someone out.

I think he just meant that the town is full of area code 206 transplants during the summer months and hunting seasons. It's a little 509er area code humor. Nothing to get bent out shape about. lol

bowhunter,
Thanks for the tip.  Between that and my friends property, I should be able to fill my freezer.

Hello...I drew the Conconully 2nd deer tag.. I'm  disabled and a WDFW hunter ed instructor and together my nephew (companion hunter) as a group we both were selected to this Conconully deer area 2016 for Anterless... I've hunted all around there before I'm from Eastern Wa. (Selah) but it says this area is all private. Does anyone have any info that you could share about access to this deer area 2016?

Gee Scotch Creek is right where the fire started and by the second day it pretty much covered all of the areas that are contained in the deer areas.  I was over there for Stampede Week when the fire started and spend a lot of time every year in Omak/Okanogan and wish I could help ya, but I just don't know.  I have friends who live in Spring Coulee and if I get a chance I will try to call today and see if they can give me any info.   

Hey, give the biologist in Ephrata a call.  He has been helpful to me in the past.

Where exactly does the area start and finish ? The Limebelt is pretty much gone from the fire. We lost our cabin in it..

So just out of curiousity and i don't mean anything derogitory.  If the hunting regulations specify that ALL of the hunt unit is PRIVATE...Wouldn't you knock on doors last year or prior to putting in for that tag?  In a way you are taking away a chance for another hunter who has already been given permission.  As far as who owns what land and where its really not that hard.  2 major land owners in the valley and both have their land either leased to an outfitter or have a hunting club with a fee.

Just park your truck on main street and throw some food back there. When the deer jump in you can just whack them on the head, drive them out of town, shoot them, and then tag them.

Seems legit? LOL

Seriously though there are deer in town that just taunt you.
