west klickitat tag info.
« on: June 12, 2009, 08:38:24 PM »
I drew a klickitat tag 3pt. or better from dec.1-8, and was wondering what you guys think I should expect. I am working there now between troutlake and glennwood but come dec. i think you would have to be riding babe the blue ox to access where I am now. this is a muzzleloader tag so I am fairly confident that I will atleast have some decent oppurtunity.
go ahead on er.

the rattlesnake area is a great area to hunt. Couple miles up the rd from underwood. I will have to look at a map to tell you where we hunted but I know if I was a better shot with the old 58 cal that I was shooting I had a chance a two different 4 points that where way better than average size. It used to be a late general tag. I suppose they took that away also.

Hunted it a few years ago and seen some nice blacktails but have no clue what the area we hunted is called.  :bash: I'll see if my buddy remembers.

Like Red Dawg said, they take some really good bucks in the Rattlesnake Drainage. A few other spots to consider...Dead Canyon, Beeks Canyon and the breaks of the Klickitat, Major Canyon, and Catherine Creek.

My dad drew that tag so we will be down there hunting too.  I think its going to be a tough hunt, hopefully there will be some snow by that time.

Hope for some snow, then the hunting can be really good.  I have scene some large bucks after the season in years past.

90% of the bucks will be out of the rut but there are a handful of nice bucks up there to be had.

You're gonna need snow.

I hunted that unit religiously with a smoke pole since I started hunting.  Without snow, its awfully tough, like it was last year.  In the entire first week of hunting on dried cornflakes I saw one small buck, and that was it. 

It has been a tough last few seasons for me, as the last buck I killed in that unit was in 2005.  But I've always had cracks at them. 

Good luck.

Hey if you are in the area and are bored one night after work I would be more than willing to meet with you and show you some of the bucks we have got over the years as well as some shed.  I always have cold beer around.  Send me a p.m. I try to get on here every day to look around.  If I have enough beer I might even tell you a couple "secrets". :rolleyes:

Hi Logger,
I drew the elk tag for that unit, can you tell me which logging company owns or leases in that area so I can ask for permission during my Archery season Oct 11 - 22. 
Thanks in advance for any info,

Austrian,

My tag is for the Klickitat Meadows Unit Elk Area 3068.  I did talk to Shawn Montee office in Post Falls ID and she told me they sold the property but she does not know to who.  Any help or info you may have is greatly appreciated. 

Austrian,
