Olympic peninsula high buck hunts

[predatorG]

Going on a high buck hunt this fall. Thinking Brothers wilderness area. any recommendations?

I am using modern firearm (not quite big enough for archery ).

I would look at the Buckhorn or Mt. SkokoKomish wilderness areas.

The Brothers should be fine.  Plenty steep.  Hopefully the Duckabush will be open by then.  The trail crews are trying to clear the dangerous trees along the trail resulting from last summer's fire.  You could access the other rivers.  Try scouting to see if you find what you like.  Mt Juptier and The Brothers are areas you may want to check.

I'm going to give high buck hunt a shot this year if I can get leave or at least a 4 day during the season.

Uneducated question so dont give me *censored* for asking. Is the High Buck hunts for anybody? If so, can you hunt the sept 15-25 be unsuccessful and hunt the general season?

yes but you must be in the high buck wilderness areas and most are not an easy day hike...

[sweetlou]

Okay cool, thank for the serious answer!

[JimmyHoffa]

Anybody with a Muzzy/Modern/Multi-Season tag can do high buck.  A couple areas are open for early archery, so bowhunters kind of get a two week headstart and can hunt through the first half of high buck.  Like stated, the hike deters many because many of the deer want to be where it requires a little hiking--you only have to be within the wilderness boundary, but most go in farther.

How high is considered "High Buck Hunt". Or is it just inside the boundries like you said?

Within the wilderness boundary's listed in the hunting regs. Not all wilderness area's are open for high buck.

Just need to be inside the boundaries.  Called the high buck because it is a chance to go after deer at the high elevations.  Those areas can be full of snow by the time the regular season rolls around.  Most go hunt the alpine areas, but it is legal to hunt the forest and rivers leading up to the alpine...which in some areas is maybe 800 feet.

Why, where are you gonna be?

[merlo105]

Up top looking down on all the idiots. Last few years been seeing more and more people and not a single person has any idea what there doing talked to people up there looking for mule deer have people asking the most retarded questions. I just think dont bother if you dont know what your doing stick to the general season and clear cuts way more deer.
