Drew Pogue Quality

Well ladies and gentlemen; I think I might have to stop complaining about how much WDFW hates me.  After 24 years in the draw, and not drawing a quality tag since I started putting in when the Army moved me back here to Washington in 2001, last year I finally drew a Quality Bull Tag, and this year I finally drew a Quality Buck Tag. 
So, I am starting a thread for folks to keep up with my quest this year, and also (since a lot of you know the unit much better than me) letting all-y'all know that I don't mind a kick in the right direction if anyone wants to give it.. ;)
A little background; I live in SE Washington.  I will be able to get up to the unit to scout this summer.  I have hunted the unit before, but it has been a pretty long time.  For reference, I have not been in the unit since all of the fires. I know they have changed some stuff.
I have a couple of buddies that live in the unit, and I know I will be relying on them for a lot of help.  I also know this is generally a "pray for weather" hunt, and that the deer like to congregate on private property.
So... If anyone has any ideas to kickstart my scouting (or my hunt) and you don't want them on the web, please feel free to PM me.  Also, if there are any "obvious" tips or hints that "everyone" already knows, please throw 'em out there.  Like I said, it's been a while since I hunted up there...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Glad they quit hating on you, I think they took the hate and added it on to me.   I've heard that's a good hunt, never been there but sounds like you will have plenty of help, congrats!!

Good hunting to you.

That can be a good hunt for either a big migratory muley or whitetail.
