okanogan east unit
« on: December 19, 2007, 08:12:38 PM »
Just wondering if anybody has hunted the okanogan east unit (204).  Are there a ton of whitetails in there.  What about mule deer numbers?  Any info you can give would be great.  How much public ground is there?  Thanks

 Worst unit in the State, in fact their is too much crossbreeding in that unit, your likely to harvest either a midget albino buck, or a Jackelope in that unit  ;)

I have hunted the east okanagon during the reg season and i have seen less muleys the last few years.  Agree good whitey hunting, but IMO muleys have been declining.  Seems to be more hunters as well.

 There's always been a lot of hunter's in the 20+ year's we have been hunting there, only drawback about hunting that area. Though, western Wa. has a much higher density of hunter's than the E. Okie.

I love the area. I hunt the high mountains of E. Okanogan. Go look at my pictures i posted in the 2007 deer season gallery....I don't see much white tails cause i'm usually high up in the mountains, but We got some pretty nice mulies....check'em out..

There are a crapload of whitetails in this unit which really hurts the mule deer herd and what it could be. Takign up the winter feeding are all year long is very bad.
