swakane

[CSOUTFITTERS]

I agree the swakane sucks!   I know SLIDER knows what im talking about.  I have heard rumor that the F&G is trying to make it a draw only unit for archery.   I dont see why they would do that when there is no deer there.  

Who ever said that the bowhunters are over hunting the deer in eastern wa is not very educated (to say it nicely) Look at the harvest reports and that says it all or stand on I-90 or Hwy 2 on on the friday night before modern deer opener.  

Here is a pic of a buck that i took Dec 21st, somewhere in eastern wa, or was it in Chelan Co, or was it in Grant co.  I dont remember exactly where but i think it was taken in a place where people said that there were no bucks, no snow and too many hunters.  You might be able to tell the GMU by the background;  you gotta love it when you forget the camera.  Im not complaining but this was the smaller one of the 2 I was chasing.   A 2 hr stalk and 15 does around him made it difficult.  The full story will be posted in a different thread soon.  Enjoy the pic, the hunt was the most fun ive ever had hunting.

Gate it all at the bottom and say have a nice hike and you know what, there might be alot more deer.  Same goes with all of the Entiat.  Put a gate at crum, mud, etc.  NO KEYS.  That will also decrease tribal by about 99%

Rocket science at work right there fellas, its no wonder F&W haven't figured it out yet

I recognise that place that's a Chelan county buck!!

Sorry guys NOV 21st was when it was taken.  I agree, gate it off and hammer the guys who try to drive around the gates or who go in on closed roads.

Now that is a good idea!  Where do I sign the petition?

[Skyvalhunter]

I have to say part of the problem is the snowmobilers. They need to restrict them from there. This puts additional stress on the animals road closed sign or not.

saw a few nice bucks and shot at a couple running to see if we could hit it but no luck.

You are joking about shooting at running deer with your bow........right?

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say something
