Slide Ridge Buck Permit
«

September 12, 2007, 07:49:19 PM »
Well finally a little luck came my way and I drew a Slide Ridge A permit this year!! Now, I'm more use to hunting the Entiat but went for Slide 1st choice because of the fewer # of tags. Any of you ever drawn this tag? I'm heading up there in about a week to completely look over the unit and come up with a few starting points and areas. I plan on spending the majority of the season there with the goal of a buck in the 170" class or better. Any advice you guys could throw my way would really help!

I agree with the 2 posts above, I have hunted there with no snow= no bucks (big bucks) 25 mile cr. is a great place to start.

Hey, thanks for the posts. I'm pretty excited for this hunt to come. Sure would be nice to get a little snow.

I'll be there. Just got home from a scouting trip, seriously rugged country! I'm going to jam in a camp between 25 mile creek and grouse mtn. somewhere, depending on weather conditions. Hope we get some snow.

You might think of trying it from a boat.you can access some graet country and end up by yourself.Ive heard you need a good size boat it can get a little rough at times......

Not a little rough, a lot rough. That lake can be a killer. We have hunted up lake, and nowhere to tie up a boat, rogue waves over 5 feet. No kidding. Be careful.

I have tried it from a 12' boat, not a good idea. When that afternoon wind kicks up it gets really rough. Also its a hard go up to get up the the hill. Lots of rock face you can't get up. You will be by yourself though.

A 12' boat on that lake is a coffin. No BS, we had a rogue wave over five foot curl go over the top of our 21footer, and nearly swamp us. If the boat had an open bow, I would not be typing this reply...Dual bilge pumps is also a good idea on this lake.

I don't think I have ever been so scared in my life, no joke. Its OK in the morning but when the wind comes down the lake it looks like the bar at Ilwaco. I was by myself and barley made it to one of the little dock/ campsites along the lake and stayed the night. There was an older couple in a 21' bayliner who said I was crazy and then said he wouldn't go out in that. It was one of the dumber things I have ever tried. I was about 22 at the time.

I don't think the lady makes stops for passengers, but I sure could be wrong. Thats a big boat and not real easy for it to dock just anywhwere. There aren't alot of places to land a boat but definately possible. Take the advice though, unless you are a decent seaman, be careful of that lake. The way it funnels wind and gets narrow etc. It can be as nasty as the open sea. VERY dangerous, and that time of year there is no second chance. You have an awesome tag and I wish you luck. There are a couple of boys on here that hunt Slide all of the time.

The lady will drop you dock side, I think rock side. We have friends with a cabin uplake, rock crib style landing. Lady stops there. This area is unique for sure. You are definitely on your own on this hunt. No one around to bail you out if things go bad. Recent fires have surely loosened rock, you may want a hardhat!
