Worst places to deer hunt this weekend.
« on: October 11, 2013, 02:49:12 PM »
Everybody always want to know the best place to go on opening weekend.  Well how about we switch it up a bit and see where you wouldn't want to be hunting tomorrow morning because of all the people. 

If had to chose id say Twisp.  It crazy the amount of people that pile into that town.

Swanson Lake Wildlife Area, it gets pounded hard by road hunters.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Yeah it's a zoo and it's the worst when you're behind someone road hunting and all you want to do is get up the road three miles  :chuckle:

Crazy how much it cools off late in the season though.  I was up there with my Dad last year while he was hunting and there was hardly anyone hunting / camping in some prime areas.  Even with the youth and senior hunts.

I would say any of the units close to Eburg like Manastash, Umtanum etc will be bad. I made the mistake of going up there a few years ago opening weekend with my old man just to get out and there was a truck at every single bend in the road.

Capitol Forest is probably not one of the  top desired units to be opening day. But it's 5 min from the house and I have a doe permit so i'm going. Will be my sons first time out hunting with me.

Capitol forest will be littered with trucks driving and sitting on every clear cut.
