There's lost of deer around Yakima, you have to know where to look and hope that you can avoid all the numb nuts from the west side who invade and push all the game back into the wilderness

The best hunting for everything is in Yakima.
I can't wait for my friends and I to hook up the campers and head over.
Oh look, a deer in my field, and another.  :rolleyes:

Around here, Yakima has the same folklore status as Las Vegas or Bangcock, Thailand. I'm quite sure that due to budget cuts, the next installment of 'The Hangover' will be filmed there.

Nailed it  :tup:

Next best unit is the one that you spend the most time in.  Pick one and get out there and hunt, they all get better the more time you spend in an area learning it and how the animals live in it.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

It used to be Okanogan and Chelan counties. But I don't think so much anymore. The units around Ellensburg and Yakima are terrible. Just look at the harvest reports. A 5% success rate is about as good as it gets.

The best areas might be isolated sections of public land that's mixed in with private land, near farm country and away from concentrations of cougars and wolves.

I can vouch for the Oakonagan going down hill.  We've hunted the Conconully/Loomis area for 40 years... The past 5 or so have sucked!  So for the first time in my life we're heading somewhere new.  Not sure how it's gonna be, but can't be worse.  Last year we saw 2 does in 10 days in the woods.

Nice to see some people are finally realizing the things I say about the muley populations around the Okanogan Country aren't untrue just to keep people away.  Sad to say, this year WILL be the worst year in a long time for success rates here.  It flat out is looking bad. :(
