2022 Hunter ed incentive permit

[Rainier10]

I am number 8 on the list this year for a hunter ed incentive permit.

My guess is both elk, all whitetail and mule deer permits will all be gone.  That leaves a ton of blacktail permits that I know nothing about.  I can hunt during any open general or permit season with the weapon that is allowed for that season.

Looking for input on what permit I should go for to try and get a decent blacktail.  Some of the units I can probably get close to the PCT and get a benchleg I would imagine. I have never shot a blacktail buck.  Back in the day I shot a few does during archery in Ryderwood, Winston Creek and Coweeman.

Feel free to pm me if you prefer.

Blah blah blah. You poor thing! Another incentive tag.  . On a serious note congrats. That one I’d like to have a lot of time on to try and figure it out. But the damn rain that’s the only time I’ve killed a blacktail.

You could always just shoot a really small mule deer, euro it, and tell people its a huge blacktail.....

The luck is amazing.  I am not looking forward to the rain at all. When I was younger it didn’t bother me at all hiking around Ryder wood in the wet brush.  I should know by the end of the week what I end up with.

Got it, thanks.

Not a bad idea.

A big mature blacktail is the hardest animal you’ll ever hunt. Mule deer and elk are easy compared to big blackies.

I concurr, there called ghosts of the forrest, for good reasons!

[Rainier10]

They are on permit three right now. I’m number eight. Might be on the clock tomorrow or Wednesday is my guess.

[Rainier10]

I’m on the clock. Three sweet whitetail tags and two blacktail areas to pick from.

Decisions decisions.

I'd go with the region 5 blacktail. But that's my main home area so I'm very bias

Whitetails in 215 would be fun.

[grundy53]

If I were choosing, I would go with the region one whitetail or region 4 blacktail. But I would be happy with any of them.

For blacktail I'd probably go with region 4 as well. The problem with the late blacktail seasons in much of region 5 and 6 is most of that time overlaps with modern firearm elk season, so you won't be alone out there. The only dates you'd have it to yourself would be November 1-4.
