Quilomene Quality Rifle Deer Permit

[BransonMyers]

Hi everybody, my dad and I drew the quilomene quality deer tag as partners this year! Already have some spots in mind to hunt, but open to any advice any of you may have, especially if you've drawn the tag in the past! Thanks.

Welcome to the site! It might be worth introducing yourself before asking for information.

I believe there are a few quilomene threads on here. Good start there

[Rainier10]

Hey man, welcome to the site kind of.  Looks like you have been here for awhile.  Now that you have that first post under your belt you won't be able to stop.

I don't have any knowledge of the quilomene but hit the search button and few different threads should come up.  Hope for early snow and glass, glass, glass.

good luck and I hope you post some photos of how the hunt went and what you learned.

My dad has the tag too. Where are your spots?

Congrats on drawing. You should have a great experience. Hoping to draw that tag before I cant hunt anymore!! What ever you do, put in the effort to make the hunt as special as possible for you and your Dad.

I hunt Chukar in that country and have seen some good bucks over the last couple of years. Even though we are making a ton of noise and not looking for deer. I will say though with that wide open country you should get ready to cover a lot of land checking out every draw. It's all good hunting. Good luck I hope you and your dad are able to make some great memories and you hold out for the buck of your dreams. (And find him)

I'd start on the edges of the timber . Find a couple doe groups and keep checking them

That's one thing we're talking about. The rut should be in full swing!

Ok! Yeah I mad an account here a long time ago but forgot about it. I'm a WA born and raised hunter, and I look forward to the discussions this forum holds.

[BransonMyers]

Hi everybody! Heading over sunday and the hunt starts monday! I will let you all know what I find!

[Ridgerunner]

Cant wait to hear about it. 

[elkrack]

Good luck over there
My sons name is Branson too definitely don’t hear the name very often 

[jagermiester]

Good Luck Branson I hope you can find what you are looking for. I saw a nice buck while bird hunting last weekend probably not big enough for that tag but he was a 4 X 5

Good luck

I've drawn that permit twice, once with modern and once with muzzle loader both were fun hunts. Good Luck. Have seen big deer in about all of that unit over the years.

There was a 4x4 with a doe and fawn yesterday morning around 9:30am in the windfarm. They were going down hill across the paved portion of the road from below the visitors center and heading southwest.

There’s also a quite number of does in Dawson canyon in the afternoon normally not terribly far from where public land starts. There was a 2x2 up the road this afternoon with does but, I’m sure you’re looking for something larger.

Also, on the 328 side of Colockum road near the bottom there was a 3x2 on private property just a few yards from public land boundary. That was late in the evening past hiring hours.

[Birdguy]

Good luck! Find a great buck to put that tag on. Take some great pics and make lots of memories. Most of all be safe!!

[dreadi]

This morning there was a big bodied 4x4 with long eye guards and his harem 100yd away from Beacon Rd past the sloppy mud hole bumpy area if you were taking that road heading south toward the windfarm.

[howlow]

Hunt the pine on the south side of the permit area

[bustedoldman]

Saw a nice 5x5  between Perkins and North Perkins on Saturday, a nice 4x5 with decent eye guards at North skookumchuck/skookumchuck heading down towards the river. Good Luck!

[fishingnut71]

Any luck?

[Ridgerunner]

I was wondering the same thing.

Does anyone know a Branson Meyers?

Is there a Branson in the house??

[Rainier10]

Hi everybody! Heading over sunday and the hunt starts monday! I will let you all know what I find!

This is his last post right here and the last day that he was active..  Is today the last day of his hunt or was yesterday?  Hopefully he has been in the woods this whole time and will be updating us soon.

Imagine that....someone out hunting instead of posting on here.  Lol!

Buy hey he only has 4 post, so I don’t think he’s going to be a big poster.🤔

It could go either way.  I was a lurker on this site and not a member for years.  Finally saw a thread that I just had to make comment on and the flood gates opened.  Drawing this tag and coming on here to talk about it might be what gets him to post a ton.

I am hopeful that we get an update.  These special permits take a ton of effort and can be absolutely draining by the end of the hunt, especially if you don't fill the tag.  The last thing you want to do is jump on here and relive it.

I know I had a colockum archery bull tag last year and ate the tag.  It was a roller coaster ride right up to the last minute.

[boneaddict]

I'm hopeful.   If I had a dollar for every I drew a tag, Im looking for info, never to be heard from again post, Id be in Cancun right now.  I hope Branson is different.   Successful or not,  follow up is great for the forum.

Some people just don't "get" how these things work.

I coach HS football and there is a site (just like this one) dedicated to coaching HS football. Every year a handful of coaches will show up out of nowhere and ask a question like, "Need help defending XYZ." Many coaches will bend over backwards to help the guy because we have all been there and the football coaching community (as a whole) is extremely helpful. All we ever want is a report back on how it went....8/10 times the poster is never heard from again.

I seen a pic of a stud of a buck killed on that tag, Don't know if it was him or not. This hunter was from eburg.

[WSU]

I'm not Branson but did spend 7 days hunting the Quilomene tag this year.  My dad had the tag.  We saw lots of deer and two bigger bucks.  The older age class of bucks is nearly non-existent.  There are a few there but the vast majority are young.  We watched plenty of small, young bucks rutting.  We passed dozens of smaller  bucks.  Large herds of does had 2 or 3 points doing all the rutting with no large bucks to be found.  My dad saw 2 big bucks in the week plus he hunted but passed on a 3x4 the first hour of the first day and couldn't get a shot on the 2nd to last day.  Some big bucks are there but they are very few and far between.  It certainly was not even close to the hunt we've experienced in the past with that tag.

It was a fun hunt and it felt like we'd eventually find a great buck if we kept looking over all the groups of does we saw.  In the end, my dad shot a young buck on the last day so my kids (two 6 year old boys) could be part of a successful hunt.  They don't care about size and had blast.

Thanks for posting and wrapping that up.  I had that tag almost 20 years ago and I really didn't know how to hunt mule deer.  I've always wondered what the hunt it is like now.  Now I know.  Thanks again.
