Theoretical regs question - GMU 460
« on: September 27, 2015, 06:30:22 PM »
I have never hunted GMU 460 and am not planning to, but was screwing around on google earth and got confused about the regs.

GMU 460 crosses the divide and stretches a little ways down in to eastern Washington.  If I had to guess, I'd call it mule deer country.  However, the regs only have a blacktail season for 460.  I'm sure all of the other units along the divide would have some blacktail and mules deer moving back and forth as well.  Does this mean that the theoretical mule deer on the east sides of these units are off limits?

Again, I don't hunt these areas so I wouldn't know if it is really an issue but I might have a tough time telling a mule deer from a blacktail in the field.

All legal bucks seen in unit 460 during westside hunting seasons can get shot. Blacktail or mulie. I believe the PCT is the eastern boundary anyhow.

I don't believe any portion of GMU 460 is east of the Pacific Crest Trail. The Pacific Crest Trail is the legal dividing line for blacktails and mule deer.  Therefore, there are no "mule deer" in GMU 460 as defined by WDFW.

"Beginning at State Route (SR) 203 and SR 2 at the town of Monroe; E on SR 2 to US Forest Service (USFS) Trail 2000 (Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail) at Stevens Pass; S on the USFS Trail 2000 to the City of Seattle Cedar River Watershed;W on the Cedar River Watershed boundary to Kerriston Rd;..."

That makes sense, thanks guys. Forgot that mule vs. blacktail is a geographical distinction with the regs.

Diablo is like that, and guarantee those deer on its eastern border are Muleys. :chuckle:

Blacktail.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
