Title: Anybody draw the Aladdin late muley buck tag...and how did it go?
Post by: Elkhound on June 19, 2013, 05:37:03 PM: Just found out I drew the one and only late muley rifle buck tag for Aladdin unit. I have hunted whitetails around Metalline Falls and Tacoma Creek, but I haven't hunted for muleys in the Aladdin unit before.....much less late November. Anybody have any insight on the type of bucks seen there in recent years? Anything is greatly appreciated......want to plan this the best I can! Thank you in advance!

huntnnw do you have your units mixed up, this unit is surrounded by the Pend Oreille and Columbia Rivers to the east, north, and west, there are no migratory bucks from Canada. :dunno:

There are muley's here and a handful of good ones, but they are tougher to find and hunt in comparison to other units farther west. This primarily whitetail country, so hunt southern exposure up high. Good luck. :tup:

There can be lots of fall fog at times, sometimes you can beat it for a while in the morning until it rises to where you are at and sometimes it clears after a few hours if you stick it out. One thing about it, if it's foggy you don't have to worry about making a long shot. :chuckle: :dunno:
