You should arrive at a flat area which is a good place to find a shooting spot on top of one of the small knobs. Watch out for the jumping cactus - they'll climb up the back of your legs! Get set up before sunrise and wait for the muleys to come up from their night's feeding in the apple orchards and alfalfa fields on the NE of the hill. They will be headed across the flat to climb Dry Coulee to bed down for the day.
Here's a picture taken in that area. The coulee is behind my old hunting buddy Bob Malone (now deceased).

I used to hunt 233 for years. Just West of Okanagon a couple of miles is "Dry Coulee". There is an old, small cemetery next to the road. You can park there and walk in, up the hill. That is unless it has been posted since I used to hunt there. If you walk to the right, around the South side of the hill, you will come across a hay storage area and a jeep road. Used to be no vehicles allowed. Continue on around the hill - now you will be Northbound.

Where you're talking is private land that is posted. Where your picture is, is also private land posted no hunting as well. That picture is taken quite a ways away from the area you're talking about also.

Edit: BTW, that picture was taken at least thirty years ago. Bob's been gone for 3-4 years now. He used to hunt up nearer Conconully (sp?) a lot, too. He was born and raised in Omak. He worked on my crew in the Seattle Fire Dep't and we both retired in 1981. This was taken about that time, I think. The land was not posted back then. We also used to hunt just East of Dry Coulee, up on Windy Hill, up the Buzzard lake road.

No way i'd pay $2700 for a guide service there. you have to be carefull that they are even hunting there land . there's a good chance with some weather that you could kill a good buck in there on your own.:yeah:
There is plenty of spots that are open to the public that have potential for good bucks. You just have to take a drive and put boots on the ground. Weather is key I've found. There are resident deer in the 215 but there always on private ground. If it snows it's game on. If it doesn't then it's a tough hunt. If I was to go with a guide it would be with Oren from tangle wood guides out of tonasket. I'm friends with his bro in law and he is a great guy and runs a good set up. Hope that helps ya!

Hmmm. The area I'm talking about is private land, I admit. When we hunted there, it was not posted. It may be now, as I said in my posting. I took the picture, and I am 99% sure it was taken in that area. If not, it sure looks like I remember it. I'm sorry if you feel I've misled you. I should add, we hunted with an Okanagon resident who knew the owners of the land. We had explicit permission to hunt there.
Edit: BTW, that picture was taken at least thirty years ago. Bob's been gone for 3-4 years now. He used to hunt up nearer Conconully (sp?) a lot, too. He was born and raised in Omak.

The land you are talking about is private, posted "No Hunting". I know the owner well. As for your picture, you might be 99% sure it was taken in that area, but I am 100% sure is wasn't. All the surrounding ground you have in that picture as well as most of that hill is private as well. Different owner, and I know him well as well. Also posted "No Hunting". Things have changed a lot in that neck of the woods over the last 20 years. Where a guy could once hunt freely, he can't these days.
