I have spent a fair amount of time there late for elk season. I do not see very many deer. I think in several years, I have seen one buck, a few tracks and maybe a couple does. It's a big unit and the area I am in is not a great deer area, but if you go there on a rainy day during the early season, there are deer all over the place. The portion of the unit I would prefer to hunt is a lot of private property. I think the snow drives the deer down over there pretty quickly. Good luck if you go, the biggest blacktail/benchleg I have ever seen was during the late season over there almost 20 years ago!

Iven seen a  lot of deer this year.  IF we get some snow before your hunt, should be good.

I had this tag last year.  I solo hunted 4 days of the season in temperatures in the teens and lots of snow up high.  I started having truck issues (I think it was bad fuel in Bingen) so I pulled out early. I did not see many deer and didn't fill the tag.  PM me and I can tell you where I hunted.  It might tell you where not to go....

Yes, thanks, knowing where not to go will be a big help!

It can be a really tricky unit to just walk into and have success. In my experience good spots take a lot of time to find. But that’s a great time to be hunting deer anyway. I have the quality rifle tag but I shot a deer in the regular season so in the fire place it goes..

hope that trade was worth it as long as it takes to get a quality tag for some of us

A decent 3x3 blacktail. A buck I would have been happy to shoot with the quality tag. No regrets. I have a lot of sheds from this unit and know very well as to what it can hold and what it usually holds. I shot what it usually holds lol

One thing to add about this unit. We have black tail and bench bucks. The biggest sheds I have are bench bucks that top out around 145”. Bigger exist but when I see a picture of someone with a buck over 130” in this unit I’m really impressed. And the real big bucks don’t live in this unit they get pushed into it by snow. Generally speaking.
