The pride and joy of Washington is not the mule deer or whitetail hunting, its the blacktail hunting. You might as well just stay over there and get better at hunting the blacktails.

I love it when members are so polite is to not only make assumptions but then be rude and tell me I should just stay here thanks next time maybe you should keep your comment to yourself or just not comment at all, got to love that eastsider hospitality can't even keep it to yourself when you're talking to group members can you

No rudeness meant…just a firm believer in that fact you can hunt and be more successful in your back yard than anywhere else.

True!  I own property on both sides of the mountains, but reside in Western WA.  I'm far better at hunting Blacktails than Mulies/Whitetails, as Blacktails are less than 30 minutes away, where my east side hunts are 6+ hours away.

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

I always laugh at these posts and the people everywhere, yet I somehow go to places and never see a single hunter

Normally I'd agree with you, I usually don't have trouble getting away from people either. I will say I hunted one of my old spots for the rifle opener last year and my mind was blown. I don't spend much time up the Teanaway anymore but I had a day to kill. It's a long ways in and off trail, steep with lots of blow down. Daylight came and I had orange on almost every knob around me. The amount of shooting going on was unreal, even by rifle opener standards. By 10 o'clock I decided I wouldn't kill a buck even if I found one I liked and walked out

Its astounding to me the laziness of so many hunters Id be willing to bet 90 out of 100 hunters wont walk a mile from their rig. I strictly bowhunted in WA until about 6 years ago and started rifle mule deer hunting again. I have gone to places opening week of rifle deer and never saw a single person out of their rig. One trip I was on a wildlife area open to anyone and relatively easy walking and lots to glass. I glassed up a 4x4 muley from the truck and my wife shot it. Not a single hunter anywhere. I live by an area thats thousands of acres of timber co land and hardly no one deer hunts it...why?... cause you gotta walk uphill 1 mile before you can hunt.

I don't care about other hunters, or walking, hiking, etc as long as there's animals. I mean, I don't know if I can pack 20 miles still but my problem is just knowing what areas are worth packing miles and miles helps!

Every youtube hunt vid, podcast and  hunt forum is you better be doing crossfit and hiking 20 miles deep yada yada... :chuckle:  Probably the most overlooked country in the west is 1-3 mi in. If i see a bunch of stock trailers at a given spot and very few trucks with no trailers I am hunting under 5 mi from the truck.

Ideally fir me, I'd like to get off the road hunter route and past the pumpkin patchers like you said, 3-6 Miles in, find a nice ridge up where I can just spend the day glassing a large area. In Western WA alot of places the terrain just doesn't allow it's too thick.

I don't think it is legal to let your wife  shot 4x4 muley from the truck. Maybe you are the one that needs to hike a little further.

Maybe you need to take some reading comprehension classes.

Not to sound like a *censored” but your picking just about the same corridor as 1/2 the west siders and some of the locals. Be ready for packed hillsides with no respect to who was there first. Keep in mind to have quality and abundance expectations low, I’ve heard constantly from talking with guys on the hillsides, meat in the freezer is better than nothing, so everything just about gets blown out and few get past the 2x2 phase.

With that said on x is your best friend. Obviously boots on the ground are going to be your best bet. Send me a pm and I’ll let you know where I’ve seen sign. It’s been a few years since I’ve been that way so it might be no good but at least something
That's why I'm asking, so help me out direct me

There's not one post in this that says anything about a wife shooting a mulie out a window. Who is the tweeker talking to?
