I'm holding out, we will see what turns up at the end of the season.  Hopefully its not tag soup......

One thing to note about this hunt, it is a buck hunt not considered quality by WDFW.  I would say with all the different GMU's that you are allowed to hunt and the time of year this hunt is right up there and in line with the type of experience you get on a quality hunt.  We hunted 149,154 and 162.  Each one of them had different things that I liked about them.  Every day we saw deer and had opportunity.  We even had a shot at an absolute wall hanger on day two that ended up actually being a nice two point with his antlers turned just right. 

@Woodchuck set me straight that it was not a wall hanger, it was barely a coat hanger.

Shhhhh.

One thing that’s blown me away is how many people draw this tag and seemingly don’t hunt it...I never once had to compete for a spot.

You hush up, I can't draw this permit to save my hide. Don't be inviting everybody else in to the pool now.

This hunt worked out well for us. I’m guessing success odds aren’t that high on this hunt any most probably get discouraged with how tough this hunt can be if you don’t really do your homework. Land is constantly changes hands in these units. My number one spot was posted when I got there. Two different private land options dried up and weren’t options. Because I had multiple options it still worked out. I hope people don’t read this thread and see two of the three people on this thread have already tagged out. There are a bunch of these tags and I wonder how many actually get filled. I also wonder how many people tag out before this hunt. I know my daughter drew this one and a doe tag that was good during the general season.

Great post Rick.  People may read this and think this was a slam dunk hunt. But all three tag holders in this thread have worked their butts off on research and scouting.  I’ve sat in landowner kitchens, researched land, made multiple scouting trips, and rarely saw camp in the daylight.

I commented to FillTheFreezer the other day that I forgot how much work front country hunts can be.  My legs are just as smoked as they are from a Backcountry hunt.  It took multiple days of hard hunting.  Not to mention plan D thanks to the fog. 

They certainly didn’t have them tied up somewhere 😆
