  sorry, this is hitting close to home, so you don't have to give up your secret spot.  mine are alta, mission, desert(a secret) and whisky dick or whatever they call the one north of vantage to the left.  now remember to not tell anyone.    mike w

[splitshot]

forgot to mention I have not drawn any of these but have guided successfully at least one or more hunters in each and all these units.  am not too lucky at the draw.  this year will be a 3 draw moose.  bull, cow and 65 moose.    mike w

In my opinion, the price and draw odds are not worth putting in for a quality deer draw

Thanks for letting everyone know were to put in for, your odds of drawing a quality permit just got worse. 

[splitshot]

  I also put in for areas close to home  so I can sleep in my own bed..   mike w

It really is no secret where the good units are just look at the regs under quality Deer 

But seriously the Dessert (open Sage brush area) units seem to produce the biggest bucks by the pictures posted by people that have drawn the tags.

It's like $6 or so. Odds are odds, but have you ever been involved in a quality permit hunt?

  no offense DHoey but I doubt you have much experience to back that statement up.  If the application for Desert cost $100 I might agree with you.

[bobcat]

Quality applications are $14.

[jackelope]

Quality applications are $14.

Close enough.

[Jonathan_S]

  Still though for $14 a year you can put in for hunts that people would pay thousands for if available for sale.

some of the quality permit hunts are not really quality and a few buck permit hunts that should be quality.  mike w

The four you choose! 

[bobcat]

There are so many good hunts available in the quality deer permits that I just can't narrow it down to only four. To me the best ones are the ones that I can draw, and that means the least popular hunts that still have a relatively large number of permits available. I generally apply for one with decent draw odds as my second choice, and for the first choice I'll just pick one with nearly impossible odds.

  Dont overlook the Okanagon, Chelan and Blewett area hunts. Any of the quality deer hunts are capable of producing one in a life time bucks.

1. Desert
2. Entiat maybe 4 years ago
3. Swakane
4. Sinlaheikan
The buck below was my general season Sinlaheikan archery buck. Almost any unit in that area really.

[splitshot]

  knowing where the big bucks are does no good if you are not selected, not selected.  quality only has 2 choices.   mike w

Best for what?  Filling a tag, getting a 180 plus, seeing lots of bucks
