put in for this tag not knowing much about the deer in the unit just wanting to spend more time in the unit for when I draw the elk tag. I only got 2 days to hunt then I have got to leave for a nevada deer hunt.Any info on where I should start looking would be much appriciated thanks.I can trade info on many other units

not to piss in your pot but 2 total days and muzzy? leave for nevada early

A day in, A day out... that leaves you about 15-20 minutes to hunt.  It is doable?

Exactly.

hate to burst your bubble but most guys that hunt the Wenaha for a week only see a handful of deer. You could get lucky though.

scout hard and put onr to bed

That's my experience.  A day in, another day out.  If you go in and find your deer this summer I think I would hike in 2 or 3 days before the season to locate him again.  Sounds like you are going to have to kill him on opening day or eat the tag.  Good luck.

here's what some of it looks like....

thanks for the pic not that worried about eating my tag i got 5 others and a couple elk tags just want another wkend in the hills. Dont get to hunt my home state very many days each yr just trying to make the most of the tag and lack of time thanks guys.not a very big unit juast trying to find a starting point since i wont be able to get up there much I got some better tags to scout I know this is not a prime tag

[400out]

That don't look to bad    Just hope it dies before it looks at the bottom

The unit dont look that big on a map, but will make you feel small when your in the middle of it.  Not a high deer area, but the cover and big, steep terrain can grow some big ones.

If you don't appreciate the opportunity you got to hunt there, you shouldn't have put in for it. Lots of other people would give their left nut to hunt that unit with that tag. Sounds like you could care less.
 
Sorry if I sound like a jerk.

I agree. A little frustrating to read isn't it. People who put in just to put in... Then the rest of us get screwed and a tag is wasted. And it happens all the time!

Don't worry guys the tag isn't a wasted one.  Two days is plenty of time for him to shoot a buck.  He's proven that many times before.

Sure hope you're right and we get to see the results!  The place I'd hunt with that tag I couldn't physically get to in two days.  I'd go 1/2 way, camp, go the rest the next day; same coming out.  That's with horses carrying my gear and me leading them.  Hopefully he is a lucky guy!

[jeremie]

U cant control what tags u draw when u draw a better tag that is going on at the same time u hunt the better unit every time and the other tag i drew is far better than the wanaha tag.Not meaning to ruffle any feathers,and 2 days is plenty to shoot a decent buck I have many deer that were shot on run and gun hunts.I would love to spend more time in there just cant.

[Huntbear]

When putting in for some special tags, I always look at dates, to see if there is a potential conflict... tags are way to hard to draw in this state to just blow them off, because of a hunt drawn out of state...  It is called logistics and planning...

2 days in that unit?  Good luck with a muzzy.. not sure you could get it done with a rifle.

[HORSEPOWER]

The bottom is where you want to be but I hope you have help and/or hay burners with you.  Maybe you should just go those two days to learn the country, although it would be smart to go ahead and take your ML for the cougars, bears and wolves.

i put in for 30 plus deer and elk tags a year there are bound to be conflicts .I spend hundreds of hours a yr planning my hunts. There is no way to avoid conflicts at times and I hate to brake it to u even though wanaha is a draw tag in washington it is no better than many over the counter tag in many other states out west.Before someone says it no I am not some rich guy just paying people to find me a deer I am a tinbender that hunts hard and spends my extra time and money on hunting not fancy trucks and big houses.I hunt and scout 40 to 70 days a yr on my own hunts and helping others find there animals.Quite frankly this is not the reasponce I thought I would get on the washington forum  even though I do admit I could have worded my first reasponce a little better.

Sounds like you have a real dilema    you are living my dream! Keep living it!! Thanks you

[HORSEPOWER]

We're all jeleous   But seriously.....the bottom  (thats all I can say )

[HUNT]

You have just as much right to that permit as anyone else.  You also have the right to hunt as little or as much as you choose with that permit.  Do the best you can and as long as you are happy with your experience, that's all that matters.  You must have drawn a heck of a tag in Nevada.  I've seen a few really nice bucks in the blues.    I do know that the Wenaha  is big, rough country.  Hope you find a way to get it done.  And good luck on your out of state hunts.  5 other deer tags in one year.  What a haul.  Good luck!

I would say Wenaha doesn't even hold a candle to most other western states general hunts. I hunt it because I love it up there, I grew up in that country. If I were hunting it because I thought it was my best chance in WA. at a good buck I'd be crazy.

[deerslyr]

 

[fly4fish]

The Wenaha can be hunted during the general rifle and archery seasons.  There is really no need to have a muzzy tag.  I would probably skip the hunt and arrive a day or two early in Nevada.

[jeremie]

thanks for the info guys just wanted to hunt some new country and learn it a little more I knew the deer numbers were low but most of the country I hunt has low deer numbers.Many units that hold good deer dont have big numbers inless u hunt some tags that are in the winter range or rut hunts that are hard tags to come by.It has taken  me 8 yrs to figure out the idaho high country going many days without seeing a deer but if ur not out in the hills ur chances are 0.
