I thought the same thing about the Wahluke unit a few years ago. With those orchards and all the deer next door in the Desert unit I put two of my kids in for does tags. When they got drawn I called up the biologist for the area to see if he had any names of farmers with crop damage and got the equivalent of the blank stare over the phone. When he did answer it was basically that there just ain't many deer in the unit. He did steer us towards the north end of the Crab Creek Wildlife Area. We scouted a couple times and did hunt one day but the lack of deer was unbelievable. I've never been anywere on the eastside and seen so few or no deer the day we actually hunted. I'm sure there must be some pockets of deer in there somewhere but I wouldn't waste my time in there again. |

Hi everyone. I am new to this sit ebut thought I would post my 2 cents. I was out there bird hunting around that big lake east of the White Bluffs boat launch. As I started hiking in an older gentleman was hiking out with a 4x4 muley with great mass. He wouldn't give any specifics, but said that he took it in the thick brush around the lake, with a muzzleloader. Lots of marsh and russian olive trees. this was a couple years ago, but I hope this helps. |

the deer in the wahluke area are unbelievable. if you want to spend some long days hunting and scouting it will pay off big. i live in the area and i have seen some studs come out of there. all of those deer migrate so much and they come right out of the famous desert a area. basically, those timothy, alfalfa fields, and orchards produce some very large mulies with a lot of mass and nice drop tines. |
