GMU 215 Sinlahekin

I was just curious if anyone went in to the Sinlahekin unit for deer this year? I would greatly appreciate any info on this area.

Thanks

Hmm.. just about everyone and their brother went to the sinlahekin....

[Malottguy]

Yup went saw 1 muley doe some fisherman and alot of bird hunters. So normal now that our secret has been out for a few years.

Rephrase that question!  Who didn't go into the Sinlahekin this year?  Seems to be getting rather popular, with the deer population staying the same!

[Buschingc]

There's not nearly as many deer in the Sinlahekin as there were a few years ago.........

Hunt the wall.

Nothing but a pumpkin patch now. I think deer number are down and hunter numbers have quadrupled. I was there on the opener and will never do that again.  I quit hunting the Methow years ago for the same reason. I am in the process of finding a "new" area to focus on for the coming years.

Thanks for the info guys.

It sounds a bit crowded . I guess I will have to find another area for next year. Since the cowiche sucks when it comes to deer hunting.

I have hunted this area for 12+ years during the late archery. I've noticed the number of hunters is up and the deer number are down, especially last year. Been thinking about switching to the Pogue unit, but know nothing about the area..Any help with this???

Hunted that area since 86. Camped at the campground at the N. end of blue lake for years. Lota people now. moved over to the Conconully side. East side of Middle Mt. Mule deer herd is way down! Whities clear up on top now! Between Blue Goat and  Funk Mt. on the canyon side. Above Fish lake. They should be down some for the late hunt. Its gettig to be a zoo now cause they opened it to Quads

[spin05]

We were up real high last year.What did we see 2 whitetail does... You still cant have quads in the camp grounds or anywere off the main rd.Not that people listen to that...

[Dr. Death]

Sounds like both units are pretty much the same, crowded with the herds #'s declining!
