QUILOMENE DEER!

[wannahunt]

I have to say that in my experience anyway you have to find the pockets of deer in this unit. I spent a lot of time hunting the units when my kids drew doe tags year after year and we figured out the places we found nice bucks and were ready when we got drawn but it's not a slam dunk to find a nice deer. The first time I got drawn for a buck tag I ended up with a forkie on the last day. We got a real nice but not hugh 3x3 for my oldest son (I think he was 13 at the time) that year also on opening day.

Quilomene A hunt 1045 is listed as having 14 permits available.   Last year there were 2355 applicants.  If all applicants had the same number of points, odds of drawing are 14/2355 = 1 in 168.  Even someone with 12 points would have odds less than 10% if the average applicant had 5 points.

yikes, I don't like to think of it like that..... Thanks for the math Bob33, I did get the draw with only 3 pts. I will probably go to my grave with the rest of the points that I accumulate.

I drew for this in 02 I think for archery and it was brutally cold I slept in my truck but I spent only 30 minutes that morning before I shot this 3 point. I wasn't going to turn anything down after my first nite hardship. I figured I'd be miserable for the rest of the weekend so I took him. then after 5 hours of dragging on a steep side hill I watched as 30-40 other does and other similar bucks passed me by winding their way down the mountain ony 50-60 yards from me totally without a care in the world that I was there sweating my a@@ off draggin this buck out to the truck.

[buckhorn2]

wifes 2008 quilomene buck. Wind blows and the roads are rough. But some nice deer she was happy.

[bowhunterforever]

That a whopper buck your wife took buckhorn! What did it score?

[buckhorn2]

I never have had it scored. We were really fortunate that a couple people on here told us where to look and we just about drove right to the spot. She is still telling the story but her story is more about the roads we were on.
