Yeah, pretty much any of the any deer units would be good if you're willing to just take a doe for the meat.  Maybe get in with a property owner in NE washington to go kill a doe in a field?

You should probably stay out of 407 and 460. I've already called dibs.

PM sent, but most any hunt is a good one for a doe.  You'll fill that multi tag with a good buck before it becomes a problem, though.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

I think there are plenty of deer in pretty much all of the units listed in the late seasons.  I would think thats why they actually have a late season, because the deer numbers can support the extra pressure/harvest.  Seems like a bunch of people have given some pretty good areas already, I would suggest spending time in one of the areas you have liked, learn it well and spend time in it.  Good things will happen for you  :tup:.  Your odds will go up as you learn an area and spend time in it.  I think you will have better odds by doing that than chasing suggestions and new areas.  :twocents:

I would hunt in 113 the first couple days of the late season, nice bucks in that area with lots of deer overall. The other area that stands out to me is 101 with a bow from around the 19-24th of Nov. There is no better hunting. I don't meat hunt so I'm always thinking big bucks but its always nice to be in an area that they exist.

need more info PM me.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

From my experience in life, as short as it is: Teacher man knows his business. NE WA has got the deer, and if you're looking for a hunt, and if doe isn't outta the question...come over to this side of the state. Wherever you go, best of luck good sir

In your experience, could you take a doe in 101 without using a treestand with a bow?  I am also taking my wife out for muzzle this year for her first deer.  I was looking at 651 and 130.  Any thoughts.  I will make her take her victory picture in a bikini if it helps.

You guys have some of the sadest questions I have ever heard. If you cant find a dang deer then you should put up your bow and go home, sit on the computer and watch animated cartoons...

Really, I guess you have hunted every inch of this state, in every gmu, with all three weapons, in early and late season.  I wish I had that kind of knowledge and time, to aquire such wisdom, so as to never have to ask anyone a question about hunting an area.  What it must be like to be such a great man.  Your friends and family must be so proud that you were born into this world with such great intellect.

Seriously though.  If you just want to fill a tag, go to Pullman for late muzzleloader.  The deer are tasty and there are a ton. Knock on a door, maybe two but not likely, and you will have a spot to kill your doe.  I can't imagine an easier place to fill a late muzzleloader tag.

I wouldn't say I have been had, all I have told the individual is goods dates and GMU numbers. And to answer his question, yes you could get a doe in 101 with a bow and no stand but why? That time of year if you find a doe look a little closer and you most likely have found a buck  ;) GMU 101 and 113 are really big, that's no secret  :chuckle:

Like I said why would you want to shoot a doe?  :chuckle:

If you do go, PM me and I can give you directions to a place that will give you permission and you are guaranteed a deer.  Not much of hunt, but a sure-fire way to fill the freezer.

When I look at the title of this post, the answer is simple - log off, go hunt...ANYWHERE in the state.  In my opinion, it comes down to YOUR effort and doing YOUR own homework to be successful and get the most out of any hunt.  :twocents:

I would have to agree with bow4elk.  When I first watched that youtube video, I was thinking is that backwoods_boy..... No can't be he is actually outside and not on a computer asking questions about hunting.  The problem may have something to do with having 1737 Huntwa posts in a little over a year of being a member??????? ???
