ENTIAT!!!

[throttlejocky20]

Don't worry about the lack of resident deer in the Entiat.  80% of the herd is migratory; spend the summer in the higher, greener country far up valley.  Your challenge will be keeping your finger off the trigger until you locate the buck you really want on your wall and in the freezer.  GMU 247 benefits from higher elevation snow to get the migration into the wintering areas.

Thanks for the input ill be heading that way tomorrow to start learning draws and road systems.

First scouting trip was a success. found a couple good camp spots and spent lots of time on the hill. Like many said not a tone of deer but i didn't expect to see a whole bunch. Over all seen 35 deer 10 of those were bucks. Most small bucks except one very large 3 and a really wide heavy 2x3 with eye guards. Had a little skunk buck up to the truck that was interesting. All in all i think i know where i will be come November 1st. Ill follow up with some pics in a bit.

On a side note does anyone know if you can ride quads on the roads over there?

Starting to think i need a better camera or something besides my phone lol. Pretty nice 3 we found definitely not a shooter but for a general season hunter he should make the list. Along with Pepe Le Pew that tried to spray me truck.

Unless they are registered for public roads and the logging roads are open for vehicle traffic. I can’t say I love them on the logging roads but they can be legal now that the state of WA allows quads, dirt bikes, side by sides, etc. to be registered for public roads.

But the Forest Service still doesn't allow them to be used.

Nor do they have a law that says they are illegal.

I don't doubt that. I only know that they will tell you ATV's are not allowed, if you were to ask. I guess, just don't ask.

So it not legal unless its registered for public roads, Forest Service still dosent allow them, but there is no law saying you cant. Looks like i should just roll the dice

I don't think it makes a difference if they're "street legal" or not. The forest service will tell you they're not legal either way.

So at this point i planned to have many many more trips over the mountains to scout and well we all know why i haven't been over lately. Little bummed i have been doing most of my scouting on line with a birds eye view. I just got done reading an 18 page thread about this hunt from 2013. i really cant believe i read all 18 pages but after page 4 i was making popcorn and forgot all about my hunt as that was to good LOL. Glad i have all 20 days off so i can use the first week to scout the draws i have been planing to hunt.

Might head over in the general season to scout areas just not sure i want to experience the chit show. Whats your thoughts.
