Nice job coach   I was driving into Yakima on Saturday and someone had a nice buck in the back of a truck all I could see was tines sticking up as he drove past.

another 215 buck

I know where I'm hunting next year

Theres more people in that unit this yr than I have ever seen.
With no snow, every yahoo was out in full force driving every road.
The deer numbers were very low as well. I would assume mostly do to the snow conditions.
We encountered more dudes talking about their first yr up there than anything.
When we hit the loomis store we must have heard the following phrases 100 times. "Just driving around to get the lay of the land", or "usually hunt swakane, but wanted to give this one a try", then the normal..... "need more beer "
Just be prepared.

Polar SEA nice buck.    saw him take it down.

On a Side note, There was more people hunting late season archery 215, than Methow valley during modern firearm. Saw 12 guys in 500 sqaure yds one morning. All 3 mornings I saw more people then I saw deer. like 5-20 people every morning

So frustrating.

It's only as frustrating as you make it.

I agree there is way to many hunters all units should be draw and just give out more tags 10 times more hunters then there is deer out there

I rather see them open up more units. If it's open for rifle, it should be open for Muzzy and archery.  Whats the point of choosing a weapon to spread us out if they turn around and limit us to only a few units?

Also, would REALLY like to know how many of those HUNDREDS of hunters in the unit were there becasue they had a Multi-season tag in their pocket and didn't score rifle hunting.

Oh, by the way, if you go,  practice out out to 90 so that 80 yard shot is a drop in the bucket for you.   

By day two, almost every buck on the hill had been hit somewhere on it's body. 

It ain't what it used to be.
