They don't make deer big enough around here to go into that hole after em. That place has broken more than 1 hunter with a branch bull tag in his pocket.

Welcome to the pansy club my friend :tup:
after a back surgery at 32 and having back knees, i'm PERFECTLY fine with that! :chuckle:
and trophyhunt, my dad saw the biggest mulie buck he's ever seen on the rim of the shed about 15 years ago. but still... i couldn't imagine humping a deer out of the bottom of that place! :yike: even if you shot one on the rim, one wrong stumble and they'd roll ALL the way to the bottom! :bash: :chuckle:

I love the idea of hunting late Blues buck permits so much that I will probably put in for them again this year. And I'll probably put in for a couple "Buck deer" category permits too. I hate the idea that there's an acute lack of deer, that or they're just really difficult to find.

where is this "watershed" at ?? it sounds...interesting
Walla Walla.... I think :dunno: A hell hole from what I have heard. But it has some big bulls in there! The access is very restricted due to being the Watershed.

where is this "watershed" at ?? it sounds...interestingMill Creek Watershed in the Blues. It's like a hole in the earth with elk and a rumored deer or 2. You can't enter it for scouting till the season opens. Very tight restrictions because it is a watershed. I think you can have 1 other person in there with you and thats it unless you're packing out an animal....something along those lines.

Luckily though, it's not very steep.

so on the game regs it says it has alot of private land :dunno: or are they just saying that since its a watershed areaIt is surrounded by private land, you have 3 options while scouting there option 1 is stay right on the trail that circles around the shed, 2 watch from private land and hope if the ranger does come by he will not ask the landowner if he wants to press trespassing charges. The thrid option is find a landowner that will let you camp out there and you can spot. The rangers patrol the shed daily. And yes there is more than 1 ranger, when I killed my bull a few years ago a ranger found me within an hour of shooting it. I was highly surprised that he found my dad and I.

As for deer there I have been there for a couple different times for different tags and have seen 4 deer 2 does and 2 medium bucks nothing that I got excited about.

No it's a lot of national forest land that surrounds it, the access points are mostly private land, unless you come in from the top out of Dayton.so on the game regs it says it has alot of private land :dunno: or are they just saying that since its a watershed areaIt is surrounded by private land, you have 3 options while scouting there option 1 is stay right on the trail that circles around the shed, 2 watch from private land and hope if the ranger does come by he will not ask the landowner if he wants to press trespassing charges.
