Title: Late Tag's
Post by: Slider on October 31, 2008, 08:16:25 AM: Just wondering who still has a late hunt? I bumped into WACATHUNTER at Lowes and him and his dad both have the Entiat Late Modern that opens this saturday!!! He is stoked!!! He was headed up yesterday to do some scouting. I might be in the same area with my camera. ;) Good Luck to all!!!

Yes I'm hoping it will be a fun hunt but I am a little unsure because of the big drop in success rate last year. The permit success rate went from 60 something in '06 to 18% last year. Not sure why but I'm hoping it was just due to unfavorable weather or something like that rather than a lack of deer. The season is actually only 8 days long. We are going to have three full days of scouting prior to the opener on Tuesday, the 11th. Then we'll have six days to hunt. I'll post pictures of our success or lack of success.

I have the late Entiat archery tag, and I don't think I'm counting down to the hunt as much as I'm watching and wanting the snow to fly prior to.

Great site, and good guys it appears. Looking forward to hearing how the rifle hunt goes...

Good luck!

No weather yet so I'm waiting for the snow to hit before I give it too much effort. Maybe I'll get lucky and find an early mirgrating buck. I'll report back on Monday.

Post by: WDFW-SUX on October 31, 2008, 01:48:44 PM: Speaking of late tags.........I had someone ask for permission to hunt some property I own.........called WDFW to confirm they actually drew a tag and...................NO TAG :tdown:

What should I do? call him on it or bait him and call the warden?

How did he know you owned the property, is he an acquaintance?
Its also pretty easy information to get ahold of, including the phone number of the property owner. Just got done doing some of the same looking trying to help my cousin fill her elk tag tomorrow.
