If you guys want to see deer head to Winthrop. Everyone else will be up there also, but at least there's a lot of deer. Also in and around Twisp with places like Beaver Creek or Benson Creek....lot's of deer around there. All depends if you want to hunt with a crowd or not.

I also agree with the special youth permits. There's gotta be some decent ones for youngsters left. Good Luck to you guys.

Craig:
Put him in for a Youth antlerless tag in any of the units around winthrop. Some on the units have 50% - 90% draw success for the youth tags. Hunt the regular deer season and if you don't find a buck he want he always has the choice to use his permit and take a doe on the last day.

If you don't know the area just find a place with a good vantage point and sit and wait for people to push the deer to you.

Yes a whitetail would do! Thanks for all the suggestions! He also like's the idea of doe tag! He's got the fever bad. I tried to shake him when he was six. I took him elk hunting with me and left the hot coco and donuts in the truck. Drug his skinny like butt in and out of hell hole's all day in the pouring rain. I never broke his spirt that day. Truth be known I finanily told him about how I better get him to the truck cause if I get him all sick and wore out his mother would have my hide! I lied, I was wet tired and cold and I wanted some hot coco and donuts. I'll never tell him that of coarse. :chuckle:

He has also displayed some tracking skills that I don't have. One time when he was 9 I got a little out ahead of him looking for an elk I'd just shot with my muzzleloader. I turned around and relized he wasn't there. I walked back to where I first found some blood. He was about 30 yards the oposite direction on his hands and knees turning over leaves looking for sign. A half hour later he found a drop of blood the size of a nickle on the under side of a leaf. I might not of found that cow with out him.

Thanks again guys :)

CD...in eastern wa there are 2 different youth seasons where the kid could shoot a whitetail doe,northeast wa or southeast, over the counter depending on where and when. there's a million whitey does over where i hunt and if you want to go down to the blues in the southeast, pm me and i'll give you some directions. in the blues, he could also take a 3 pt or better whitetail or mule deer.
this would be a typical legal mulie that we see every year. my buddy took his kid out this year to tag along on the hunt with us and took this deer.

again...let me know if you want specifics on the southeast and based on what i seen this past weekend, i'd guess odds of killing a whitetail doe on the public land would be good.

Ridgerunner:
If he would be satisfied with a whitetail doe head to the NE corner of the state, a good option for a muley doe would be the Buckrun ranch, if he drew a tag it would be a good hunt with zero competition and the deer aren't spooky at all. There are plenty of them out there as well.
