Title: Finally drew my late season archery Entiat tag!!!!
Post by: mossyoak arrow slinger on June 20, 2013, 06:25:33 AM
After putting in for the tag the last 8 years i was finally fortunate enough to draw the tag. Its been a while since i have been in the unit, but i am looking forward to go there and learn some more of the area. For those of you that have this tag please feel free to share your experiences and pictures of some of the deer you got to harvest or take pictures of. Thanks guys!

Pack chains for all four tires and a shovel. Rain or snow it can be difficult. I'm jealous of you and I drew the desert tag with my second choice this year.

I was up there last weekend. Saw a handful of deer and got pictures of about 6-8 different bucks. One is a decent buck that could grow into a shooter.  :tup:

I drew that tag as well.  I'm looking forward to it as it's been several years since I've hunted muleys, and I've yet to hang a tag on one.  See ya up there!

As suggested, be sure to purchase thick quality chains for all four tires in case of snow

Thanks for the heads up on the chains guys! I already have two sets of chains that i my dad and i built a while back so i am set

I drew that tag as well.  I'm looking forward to it as it's been several years since I've hunted muleys, and I've yet to hang a tag on one.  See ya up there!

Good idea to learn the roads and unit boundary on the western edge.  The migatory herd will be there in November.  If we have a late winter, I would definately focus on the higher western edge where the more mature bucks will be.  Mud Creek, Crum and Oklahoma Gulch get hunted a lot and won't be that good for mature bucks until later in the winter.

It is a very nice buck. But from the pic I don't know if the other side matches or if he is all broken up. I might be kicking myself at the end but that's just the chance you take when u are lookin for Mr. Big.

Quality buck for sure, I just hope there are no rifles in there while you are archery hunting or you can forget about finding a buck like that. ;)

Mossyoak arrow slinger...isn't this like 3 tags in the last three years (late buck, bull and cow elk, now quality buck??)  :dunno:? Seems to me you must have a connection in the inside at WDFW?? Good luck buddy, hope you get the next wallhanger for your collection  ;).

I posted this pic on another thread also.  Second deer I saw on opening day in 02 when it was still a general season tag.  No regrets from me on shooting the first good buck.

The luck to draw is awesome I just hope to have some luck to shoot a big mule for once then I will be satisfied. We are all due eventually so let it be a birthday present to me. You know me I won't be shooting 100 yds that just won't happen.

congrats on the tag. this hunt requires confidence at 50 yards and the ability to wait for the right deer. the last few day are always the best. i have been extremely lucky and drawn this tag a few times before always with a partner. always getting a deer. and have been there every day of the season 4 of the last 6 years, that's over forty days there during the season and like i said the last few days have been the best. good luck and we will see you there.  :)

I am confident out to 50 and I would say 70 is my max. I will only miss the first two days of the season and be there the rest of it. I am patient when it comes to taking the right shot just not sure how patient I am with seeing decent sized animals and waiting for a bigger one. I have never shot a real big mule deer so it will be hard for me to pass on a good buck. My two hunting partners and I grouped it so we will all be there. I have decent knowledge of mule deer hunting for I have been huntin them since I was about ten. Thanks for the info!

Yeah mossyoak arrow slinger is Lucky. I hadn't drawn a tag in four years. First year doing partners and now I'm gunna be living the dream in Entiat with two great guys. Hopefully we can get a video of the hunt to share with everyone.
