Hows the Entiat?

[muleyslayer#1]

were going up there opening weekend for archery i was wondering if you guys got any pics of deer from this year up there. Also to see if the deer are looking healthy.

Haven't heard much on the road conditions up that way. I know the Chiwawa got hit some so probably the same over that way.

well i was up there at the end of march shed hunting and the deer were looking pretty healthy all big does or bucks saw like 100 deer that day i just hope that it doesnt catch on fire again this year.

I am heading over this weekend and plan on hitting a lot of the roads.  I will report back next week what I see.

Roads are all good and everything is still pretty green. I wouldn't worry about fires.  Deer seemed to be scattered out more than usual. Do u have any idea of the general area u will be going? I could give u  a better update.

Might see some does if you go over now, but I bet most of the deer you saw in march were migrators waiting for the snow to melt to head back up high.

Sweet. Not to many gates in the valley. Good luck

I have a feeling there isn't a gate there right now......

[huntnfmly]

There are no deer in the entiat

[JBar]

Hey Muley, maybe we'll make a mid august scouting trip over there and you can see for yourself. Let me see what I have going and I'll get back to you!

The deerless Entiat.

Very green or white for that matter up there at the moment.  I wouldn't be too worried about fires this year.   Deer aren't nearly as high as they normally are.   Scattered is a pretty good description.

[muleracks2]

The high country bucks are hanging around 4500 to 5500 feet as the snow slowly melts back.  We believe there is an increase in locals that stay in the good forage from the 88 and 94 burns.  General season hunting has improved in the lower half of the valley; partly from more deer "short stopping" in the elevations below 5000 feet and also it is easier to spot and stalk in the dead forest.  Tree planting (fir and pine) is beginning to provide some escape cover for deer and the growing young trees are beginning to compete with forage plants; it is a changing world.
