Son drew Gardner deer tag .......... all help welcome :-)

[Dan-o]

 My son drew the Gardner tag.   Not a "Quality Deer" tag, just a buck tag for rifle.

This GMU is up by Twisp.... actually Twisp looks to be in the NE corner of the unit.

So.........   I would gladly accept any info.     PM is preferred.

Ask around on this board and you should find that I've helped folks in the past.     Sorry if that offends you.   

QUESTIONS FOR THE CRITICS:
1.   Do I know the unit like the back of my hand?   
      ANSWER:   No, but i did drive thru about 9-10 years ago.
2.   Do you really want me to detail to you my honey hole right down to the GPS coordinates?
      ANSWER:    Actually, I'd prefer good old fashioned advice and location info......   I don't own a GPS.
3.   You shouldn't put in for tag in a GMU you're unfamiliar with!!!!!
      ANSWER:   Uh, dude, that's not a question.  Get a grip.
4.   I'll bet you're just a road hunting jerk from the west side, huh?
      ANSWER:   I try not to road hunt, but everywhere I drive there seems to be a road....   
      SERIOUS ANSWER:   Actually, I love to gt out and walk, but I'm getting older and fatter.   Steep is really       starting to suck for me.

       PM's with information (general or specific) gladly accepted.

Dan-o out!

So since this isn't a "quality" tag I assume it's for whitetails?

[bobcat]

Oh, and one more thing, you must have been looking at your map upside down or something- Twisp is in the SE corner of the unit.

[Dan-o]

Hey bob cat!

Yep, it's white tail only.......   and I am directionally challenged I guess.   Of course Twisp is in the SE corner.

Beautiful country.

OMG, the insanity continues....

I have hunted Gardner for the past 8 or more years. I cant help you much with whitetail as they seem to be down low. Always hunted mulies. Seen a couple does at 2300 ft once.  Need to start getting permission. Not a lot of public ground on the valley floor.
I think that would be a hard tag for whitetail unless you have private access.

Don't know that gmu at all but hope you get some good info.  I personally have no problem helping people out and sharing information.  I am sure someone will share some information with you....just forget the nay sayers as they are typically envious of those who drew special permits. 

[bobcat]

I was just going to post the same thing, ghosthunter.

I'd be looking for some private land to hunt on.

[Dan-o]

Thanks, gents.

Does anybody have a good idea on rut timing for white tails there?   the hunt is Nov. 1-20.

[trophyelk6x6]

I would hunt the last week for rut and whiteys are on private land.

 I've seen more and more on the Gardner side of the Twisp river road every year. Higher and higher also. I had the Gardner Quality tag about ten years ago and saw some decent whitey bucks. Learn to rattle if you don't know how yet!

[Dan-o]

Thanks, gents!

I surely do appreciate the replies.

Merry hunting to all, and to all a good night!

Dan-o out.

98% of the whitetails I have seen are on Private. Best rut hunting you will have on your tag will would be the 20th , gets better after that . Get permission for private.

I can help you for sure. PM sent.
