Entiat Late modern rifle buck hunt

[Payne]

Anyone else draw this on the forum?

This is my first draw for anything and I am freaking out I am so excited! 

I will be taking at least a week off (have my own business/work from home so hopefully will be up there pretty much the whole time).

I've got a decent camera but wondering if I need to get more of a zoom... How close on average will I get to most deer do you think?

Nice tag and you should have fun.  Hope for some snow.

Good tag if you get away from the roads. Here is a thread http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,127812.msg1698548.html#msg1698548 worth reading, it will keep you grounded and show you exactly how NOT to treat that tag.

Ha! Thanks. I read that one months ago... Definitely not going to be like that... I am just thrilled to have the chance to see all the deer and get out in the woods. I read another post months ago of an archery hunter and his hunt. This guy did it right if you ask me... http://www.huntfishnw.com/index.php?topic=3338.0 ... Wasnt that you that hunted with him? that sounded like an amazing time. If that was you what did you guys use for cameras and lenses?

I do need to go back and read older posts for info though... There seems to be a lot of good info already out there for this hunt.

Looks like you live close enough to Entiat to give it your full attention, too. There are clearly some jaw dropping bucks in that unit and no matter what I am sure it will be a great experience with great memories. Keep us updated on your experience.

I still feel sorry for the buck that guy shot last year. A great animal like that deserves to be respected. That look on his face like somone tinkled in his corn flakes was priceless.

I know, but while I'm out there just would be fun... and I'd like to share the images with y'all.

I hear ya, was both funny and sad. If I end up waiting till the last day and end up shooting a spike I'll have nothing but smiles. I mean I really want a trophy but that's really just a bonus.

 With that attitude you will have a great hunt, good luck!

My dad drew it as well, should be an awesome hunt. Have property in the unit and will be up there the whole season!! Enjoy seeing the animals, glass, put some miles on the boots, they are still around without snow but if it does be prepared with chains and winch that can be attached to front or back! Just have fun and it'll be successful!
