The mouth of Ingalls Creek was good back when the season ended around 2nd week of November. Now the migration doesn't usually reach that low before the season ends. Never really hunted the roaded country around the pass but I suspect that there are a 1000 pumpkins for every mature buck.

Not sure what side of the pass you want to hunt but back when my hair was all the same color i used to do good in the redtop mountain area, but the season also went later.

Ya that deer was actually hit in the Entiat unit....but they were taking it over Blewett pass to get it looked at by a WDFW officer..........A tiny little inbred doe jumped out in front of their truck and when they swerved to miss it.....the big buck fell out of the truck.....Just before loading it back up someone decided to stop and take a photo.......
But ya, that buck was actually killed in the Entiat!!!

Pumpkin patch is what it looks like when all the hunters cover the hillside in their blaze orange and it looks like pumpkins.

As for Blewett, I drive it alot and the other night when I was coming home I saw two mashers right along the side of the road. It was about 11 o'clock and I was tired or else I might have turned around to try and get pictures. They are out there but know the deep dark places to hide come hunting season.

I was driving up the Alta the other day....and right next to the road there were 3 bucks averaging 190"!! Then about a half mile up the road there were 2 more that were even bigger! I cant believe how many shooter bucks are in the Alta unit this year!!!! Most of them are standing right off the road too!!! Should be a GREAT year up there to kill an easy buck!!! I cant wait......

If that was the one that was hit in 2009 I stopped to look at it... terrible shame... it was a bruiser for sure!

There are a lot of good bucks up there, but they are generally migrating through, making it very difficult to "scout" and even more difficult to time, hunting-wise.. the majority of them could have passed through or not come through the area during the hunting season. Its more dumb luck running into a nice animal than anything else... and like everyone else has said... be prepared to have a few scopes checking you out as you take a mid-morning snack break.

Happy hunting.

Dang! Gorgeous buck... the one I was thinking of was killed in 2009 in velvet... I think it was roughly this time of year by the slow vehicle turnout before the curves on the North side of the pass before the major curves and ascent (if you were headed South). It was a gorgeous non-typical. Definitely some whoppers up there someplace.

Blewett is the toughest place to hunt I've ever been, including Montana in mid-winter. It's straight up and down country, thicker than snot on the north slopes. It does grow big bucks, but all the more accessible area's are hit hard, but usually only near the roads. We would hike in a mile at least from any road and saw plenty of deer, missed an opportunity as a bruiser with too many branches in the way the last time I hunted it. Used to be lots of cats up there. You do have to be a little careful, it's really rocky on top and some of the rock faces are covered with pine needles and are not visible until too late, then you're sliding on your butt 300 yards.

I would agree on the west of the river pumpkin patch comment, there is a lot a remote country up entiat still as long as u can get off the roads....

Deep Forks · « **Reply #33 on:** July 31, 2011, 01:52:54 AM »

You've got to realize that the buck was hit in early Jan. and had migrated out of another area. The buck had been living in this area since early Dec. and had moved off the mountain to go on to the winter range when he was hit.

Back when the season closed in Nov. there were some nice bucks shot each year up there, but now very few for the amount of hunters.

HoofsandWings · « **Reply #36 on:** July 31, 2011, 02:32:35 PM »

I am not sure if it was the same buck, but I was at that DFW office near Entiat when a buck like that was brought in by the guy who hit it. He had a whole bunch of pictures take of him with the buck.
