Great first post. My recommendation is at least spell the hunt correctly if you're gonna ask for scouting spots with your first post.
Easy guys.....If you don't like his first post then refrain from responding, especially with a rude / sarcastic response. Remember he is another hunter in our great state, regardless of how long he has been a member of this site. If we want this to be popularity / cliquish.. site then keep up your attitudes. Real easy way to destroy our sport....ostracize fellow hunter cause they are new or can't spell. :bash: :bash: Not smart.
Momma always said, "If you can't say nothing nice, then don't say anything at all." Words to live by....

And here is an example of how to be just flat out rude. It's no wonder some say people on this site suck.
Welcome to the site sniper. Hope you get some good pointers. Not all is bad with folks around here. If I had something to offer up, I would

Depends on which side of the 49th you are on! Okanogan/Okanagan :chuckle:
Welcome marinesniper8541. by the time your SP season is open I would bet you'll get some advice which along with some scouting will make it a great experience. By your handle I would say I need to thank you for your service.

Personally I'd spend some serious time on east of Chesaw in the national forest. There are some big bucks that'll be coming out of the timber and you've got the tag that will be catching them out into the open. Hike up behind some of the gates off of NF-3575.
Go scout it. You'll see the potential right away. Identify past rub lines... they'll hit the same areas up.
Also, sweet talk guys that have run cameras out there in the past. You can identify the regional peak of the rut that way.
Good luck and post pics.

If people don't know an area what the hell are they doing asking for help finding a deer after they draw a special permit. My suggestion is put the horse in front of the cart you're get farther. Learn where you want to hunt before you snag a permit
Thanks for your input :tup:

Learn where you want to hunt before you snag a permitSometimes people get drawn their 2nd choice or 3rd choice not knowing anything about the unit or not even wanting that unit, but you have to pick something. I got drawn for central Okanogan (my second choice) when I wanted North Okanogan (First choice) second deer archery. Couldn't help how the draw went, so I'm going to make the best out of my second choice. No need to chew on people about not knowing a unit good enough, you don't know how they got it... and why should you care.

Thats usually my 2nd choice fore a disabled anterless tag. I usually camp at swan lake and scout from there. Lots of poachers last couple of years in that area.A couple of us were in there with second deer tags in 2010 and ran into some locals. They confirmed heavy poaching saying they had seen a truck with over 20 deer in the back of it. I ran into them up by swan lake, hunting was tough in that area that year, seen one doe and she was gone as fast as we had seen her.

That all sounds like great advice.....exept for one thing, this is Washington, remember? If it were Oregon or Wyoming then yes this works, not here! You pray for a tag and when you draw, then you start the research.

No need to chew on people about not knowing a unit good enough, you don't know how they got it... and why should you care.
This is what I don't understand, it's very common for people to draw 2nd or 3rd choices... It's not like Wyoming where you don't burn any points on those choices if you draw. I'm always confused when people say "well it was my second choice not really what I wanted", you don't have to fill in all the blanks most times I only put one or two choices.
That said, I also get annoyed at people bashing on guys for asking about a hunt they drew... Why not help a guy out on a limited hunt, if you had the same tag I could see it but most likely it won't affect you whatsoever, besides that is what sites like these are for.
Not trying to single you out South Pole just though you brought up a good point.
Good luck on the hunt sniper this is a tag I've been considering putting in for, will be interesting to see how you do I know there are some toads in that area.

Like sirmissalot said, you do not have to apply for a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th choice. Oftentimes, I only put in for one hunt.
It doesn't make sense to apply for a hunt that you do not want.
