Lower Crab Creek Wildlife Area GMU 278 Wahluke
« on: June 17, 2014, 04:16:53 AM »
Can anyone tell me about GMU 278. It is open for Muzzy (new). Looks like a fair amount of ground avaliable to hunt.

Is this a good area to try and kill a deer with a Muzzy?

Thought I would investigate a little. It is close to Desert, so I figured it may get some good genes out that way.

I work in this area daily. And I do not hunt it. There are some deer in the unit. But the deer numbers are very very low. There is a good amount of public. And as far as the genetics go nothing lives long enough to get big.

This is probable not the info you want to hear but it's my  :twocents:

I side a Hunt Wa search. Some older info. Looks like someone posts this topic every off season. I guess I was the curious one to do it this off season.

Have the deer numbers got any better?

Any pics?

Thanks for the info. I was bored researching, so I thought I would ask the question. I will look elsewhere.

I'm not saying don't hunt it. But if I where looking to hunt a new area with a chance at a big buck this would not be my area in focus. I would look on the game site. At areas with the highest # of bucks harvested and go from there.
