I will be hitting the road friday for a 19 hour drive to wyoming for the start of my season. I will be hunting antelope and then to montana for another antelope and if time permits eastern wa. to check out my deer areas. I drew a late season palouse tag so I will hold out unless I see the monster early.Good luck to all.

Dmanmastertracker · « **Reply #8 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:49:43 AM »

After Wa. I'll be heading to Oregon for the late archery season in the Eugene area.

Little Dave · « **Reply #9 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:50:08 AM »

Might go down to Thurston County and take my brother on a deer hunt.

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #10 on:** October 07, 2009, 07:59:43 AM »

It's about 185 miles to hunt camp with the boys. Unit 218 and maybe a little of 203. If I hunt the late hunt, it'll be unit 117, which is about 375 miles to camp, but I'm trying to pass on that one for Deer. Once I get confirmation though, I hope to be over there later in the year for Kitty.

Yup! I get 5 weeks of vacation a year! (three weeks go to family time) This is the first year in a long time that I'll be taking a week off for early season Deer. Friday through Thursday I am solo this time. The boys will drive over for the last weekend.

Deer: 124 - 25 Minutes
10A - 3.5 hrs

Elk: 169,172 - 4 Hrs

270Shooter · « **Reply #21 on:** October 07, 2009, 03:03:20 PM »

If I even hunt deer in Wa this year it will most likely be in 368 (12 miles from home) or 372 (about 1 hour away). I'll be duck hunting on the opener

.

For elk it will be 368 only.

And units 404 and 400 in MT for deer. About a 9-10 hour drive to the ranch.

roadhuntking · « **Reply #22 on:** October 07, 2009, 03:16:12 PM »

Units 407, 418, 437, multiseason tag and anywhere from 5 min to 2h hours, depending on which honey I feel like hunting. Oh yea and maybe a little secret mule deer spot on private property on the east side, can't really remember the gmu.

I'm thinking about hunting 278 late archery, first year here in WA so just trying to figure it out. Live in Seattle so its just a few hours drive. Looks like an interesting unit with little pressure. any input or a late archery hunting buddy would be nice!!

andrew_12gauge · « **Reply #27 on:** October 07, 2009, 04:41:02 PM »

Unit 39 idaho, its about 1 1/2 hours to get up to the area i hunt but im only about 1/2 hour from the units south boundary

Holg3107 · « **Reply #28 on:** October 07, 2009, 04:47:54 PM »

Andrew, you still cross the border and hunt 278? or are you sticking with Idaho this year?

andrew_12gauge · « **Reply #29 on:** October 07, 2009, 04:55:37 PM »

Out the door, 2 minutes to gravel, 6 minutes to the gate, 25 minute bike ride and a 5 minute walk.

And somehow I always seem to be running late.

Looks like the majority of you will be traveling a ways. I always get more excited about a hunt when camping is involved.

Navyhunter · « **Reply #43 on:** October 08, 2009, 07:57:53 AM »

288 miles for the first leg to Newport (GMU 113) for 3 days hunting late buck over there and then on to Libby, MT (3 more hours) for 15 days of deer and elk.....32 days!!!! Going to be hunting HARD for a bull this year and shoot a deer along the way.
