I think you would need to draw a special permit to have a good chance of killing a real good trophy Buck. You could get lucky and find one on a general season hunt. What size Buck are you looking for?
Kind of a catch 22 to ask for help for a spot to kill a trophy then say you don't want honey holes. Dont you think that if there was an area open OTC with trophies all over, that it would probably considered someones honey hole. Do yourself a favor and quit hunting this state for a so called trophy. Make it easier on yourself and call them all trophies like they are, that way when you kill a fork-n-horn you can brag all day long about the "trophy" you shot.
I'm mostly a trophy hunter so no meat hunting for me.
I used to live and guide for elk and deer in Colorado and of course can't compare to there but I'm sure there are a few around.Thanks for the "serious" input guys

Probably no help but there aren't many spots where the non-migratoring muleys get a chance to reach trophy size. If you are planning a General season hunt, scout the most remote, roughest country you can imagine (someplace where even the crazies won't go) and you might find a good buck. There are not many spots like that in the heavily roaded Okanogan. Keep putting in for the Special Permits and you might eventually get a draw where you can hunt the migrators. You could also pack in for the High Hunt in the Pasayten or General season in the Sawtooths.
Caveman GOOSE DANG IT .. Thanks for giving out another one of my honey holes if he lives around winthrop or twisp or in eastern washington period he should know these ares and if he is a trophy hunter then he may never kill a deer in washington
