palmer lake?

Anybody know anything about hunting in this area? Anything in the Sinlahekin area?

[clindsayrun]

Easy access around Palmer is all private. The Sinlahekin has plenty of public access...and with lots of public access comes LOTS of public. Too many westsiders for my tastes.

Lots of whitetail in that area. Just north of Palmer on some private land I saw an absolute monster last night about 1 am. Tons of deer out, but only that one big one.

hunted that area about 40 years what would you like to know. What are you after, whitetail, mulies, chuckars, grouse, bear,, fish?

[nileboy]

Deer mainly...Read some good things about the Sinlahekin in a magazine a couple of years ago. I'm after a trophy muley. Dad had a stroke about two years ago and he can't go anymore. I think I need to give him something to admire on the wall.

Been 20 years or so.  Used to be good hunting on Palmer Mt.  Lots of private to get around now.  Lots of good country on the west side of the Sinlahekin.  Get above the valley.  East side is a climb   Never hunted it up myself, always down from Lemansky   Don't forget Chopaka.
Hunt it hard enough, the big one is there.

When I was a kid (30+ years ago) we used to be able to drive up on Grandview Mtn., there was alot more deer up there back then. My dad and I once borrowed a row boat and went across Palmer, then hunted up the mountain. Saw lots of deer.

spent a lot of time fishing up in the sinlahekin and chopaka areas. tons of good ground to cover, but im sure it gets flooded with people come hunting season.

I bought some lakefront on Palmer in 1984. Lots of private now as a orchard owner has leased most of Palmer Mountain to a outfitter. I used to rattle in dandy whitetails up there but don't want to pay the trespass fee so I bugged out!! Got a great place now that has some crusher whitetails to rattle. Missed a monster last year that was 170+!!! Ya, he was that big!!

The mule deer hunting is great in November but walk a ways to get away from folks. If you do this you will see some stud mulies!!!!!

I'm doing a photography trip up there for the winter range.   I am hopeful for some studs.

--Tons and tons of people

There is a pile of sheep in this area. We travel the west side of Palmer and watch the sheep (from our boat). If you want some good sheep rut activity just go to Loomis and park your rig. Folks feed 'em and they are in there yards and you can watch the sheep in ther yards from the rig!!!! I heard through the grape vine that these sheep are used for transplant stock and that is why there are no permits. I see bands of 10-20 mature rams, and can show you at least 6 groups like that at any givin' time, summer or winter!!!!

For big muletails in the dead of winter I would concentrate up on the Chopaka grade and up the Toats Coulee Creek Road and glass the big open open south slopes!! You will not be disappionted.

My inlaws have a house on Wannacut so I have a cheap hotel.  Thats sure gorgeous country between there and Palmer.

[300bullelk]

Your in-laws have any more daughters!!!!!

[boneaddict]

   Yep, 3 more, but they are all taken.  All four gals are quite cute and were snatched up quickly.
