Title: Looking for some help - Whitetail Buck Draw in Pearrygin Nov 1-20
Post by: andrebeergog on October 17, 2013, 07:58:57 PM: Sorry to say I didn't fill my tag this weekend in Republic so I'll be trying again on a tag I drew for the Whitetail hunt in the Pearrygin GMU Nov 1 thru the 20th. I have heard they can be tricky to find unless you are hunting private land in this GMU. I spoke to the local biologist, Scott Fitkin, and he said to hunt the drainages on Bear, Beaver, and the South Fork of Salmon Creek. My plan is to hunt them as close as I can to private land on the weekends of the 10th and 19th.. I hunted this area many years ago so I am a little familiar with it. For all the Methow hunters out there, does this sound reasonable?

I haven't seen one in years. My bet is they all stay in the river bottom. Lots of luck getting permission from the granola crowd that infests a large part of that area now.

Post by: rickomatic on November 02, 2013, 01:22:46 PM: Mostly private property around the golf course. Knock on some doors first. I wouldn't bother with the "artist's" house just above the golf course. Making an assumption on that one, I could be wrong.
