Title: Late Season Swakane or Sinlahekan Archery Deer?
Post by: jae on November 16, 2008, 07:41:17 AM: I am planing on going to Swakane or The Sinlahekan next wednesday for the 20th opener of deer. I know the roads in both units pretty well but I have not Archery hunted Late season in either unit. Any information on general areas that hold deer, would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
John

I don't have a deer tag now (already filled it!), but I would look into Derby Canyon, Rattlesnake Spring, or Chumstick Mountain. Sorry I cannot help with Sinlahekin.
