Plan A, B, C, D
« on: October 08, 2010, 11:57:01 AM »
A buddy of mine from Oregon bought a WA tag.  He's never hunted open country so I'm taking him east.  Hopefully, I can get him on a mule deer or whitetail in the Palouse.  But, if things look grim, I'm probably going to try and head north and get into timber and whitetails.  I never realized how much pressure is involved when you want to help someone get a deer.  Lots of work!  I've been on the phone with biologists all month!

Yeah I can understand that. How much did he pay for a deer tag? Isn't it almost $500?   :yike:

Why on earth would someone from Oregon want to hunt deer in Washington? I would love to hunt in Oregon, just don't want to pay the out of state fee's.

Maybe because in Oregon you have to draw a tag to hunt mule deer. Here you just buy it over-the-counter.

That makes sense. I thought that deer tags were over the counter in Oregon, and you had to draw elk tags. Is it just Mule deer, or do you have to draw for blacktails too?

No, blacktail tags are over-the-counter.

welcome to the world of guiding  :chuckle: the pressure is part of the excitement, and makes the hunt all the more rewarding at the end. either getting a animal or knowing you did all that you could and hunted hard. I am sure you will have a good time, best of luck on the hunt.

He keeps trying to remind me that he just wants to have a good time and not to feel any pressure.  I'm trying not to, but I don't want the $434 tag to be in vain.  I think he's just looking for a grass-is-greener type of thing because he's tired of Oregon.  I mentioned to him that the only advantage WA might have is the whitetail population in the NE corner and I have no clue where to start with that besides public land.  Only whitetails I've ever seen where in open country where there were mule deer.
