Very first posting by a newbie rookie (but 20 yr deer and elk hunter) so don't know what kind of responses I can hope for? 'Move along little boy' might be a popular one' lol.. I've drawn the Quilomene 'quality deer' tag, and have done some significant scouting over there, and am hoping to hear from someone who's spent some time in that VAST area. Should I focus on the more forested areas up towards Colockum, or the more wide open sage down towards the Columbia? How best to access this area to hunt it properly on this once in a lifetime November hunt? ANY INFO and I mean ANY would be hugely appreciated, and thanks!

One other way to access the area is from the river and then hiking in from the waters edge. Might be worth taking a look at if you have a boat

I've hunted that area for over 20 years for elk and have seen more than a couple 30 inch bucks in the last few years in the sage brush. Can be very hit and miss so get out and walk the sage is all I can say. I hunt down low on the parke creek side and we have seen some monsters in those hills. lots of good bucks on the state land down low below the fourth cattle guard and the wind mill farm, If its still open that late in the year can hold some huge bucks.
