unit 204 and surrounding units

Was wondering if anyone hunts 204 during late archery and was curious how it is? Thanks!

Cold..

Hunted this area for many years. There aren't hardly any animals up there no more. Lots of local poachers and very few gamies.

I live and hunt in 204 near the north end.  I think the deer out number people 5-1.  Cold yes and lots of private but if you can find time to set up some cams w bait sight it's a very productive unit.  I strictly bow hunt and rarely see any other hunters.  Most rifle/muzzy up here.  PM if you have any questions.

I own property in the pontiac ridge area and have been hunting and vacationing in the area for the last 21 years and started muzzy hunting 3yrs ago and did my first year of archery this year and would not recommend modern to anyone. I have no late archery experience but like highmuley said animal numbers aren't what they used to be. what area of the unit are you planning to hunt? 

[hoyt5199]

Well looking at anywhere near the okanagon, omak, area. Just looking for a any deer unit that holds good number of deer.

Do people from eastern Washington realize that most people from western Washington hunting over there don't live near the coast. It's only about 130 miles from Seattle to the Coast past Aberdeen

Go for it!  Awesome country, and cold.  Deer are there but not easy.  I love that country and dont care if I dont see a deer.  Pontiac Ridge.    Some steep stuff in Beaver draw. Very pretty land.  Im jealous.

You have proof of, " Lots of local poachers " ? That's an assnine statement.

Too funny.  This guy slams wet siders and back in September he was talking about growing up in Burlington. Hypocritical mentality.  No need to blame us for your tag soup bud:)

[Tonasketstickflinger]

I never slammed them, I just said to many there's camps all over an plenty of trash afterwards. I use them to my advantage and never had tag soup for deer thanks man

Yeah it is very beautiful area i am lucky enough to have property that is connected to state land on two sides i can walk down to beth and beaver lakes or to the Canadian border without stepping foot off of public ground.

I guess my definition of rat is different than yours.  It's cool.  I'm not offended just get a laugh out of transplants; )
