Very lucky considering I have 16 points and that is the only hunt I ever put in for. Congrats on having luck on your side because that's really what it boils down to in the end. :tup:

Post by: trophyhunt on June 11, 2014, 06:51:09 PM: Wow, that sucks for the guys with 10+ years trying, 2 points? Pretty lucky and kinda messed up at the same time. Just being honest!

Post by: buckhorn2 on June 11, 2014, 07:24:59 PM: I am right with you on whats fair or lucky with points my boy and I had 15 points in several things but no luck. The guy we hunt with has 23 desert points and never drawn and lives there. Maybe time for two draws one for guys with 10 points and over and one for less than ten somehow putting in for years should have some advantage but don't know how to do that.

completly agree with you, quality tags should only be offered to guys w no less than 5 points. Especially those permits with less than 10 permits.

Title: Re: Desert Deer third year in a row.
Post by: antlerking on June 12, 2014, 05:45:11 AM: Congrats on the draw, I am not to sure I would call the desert a quality tag anymore, but on the good side that unit isnt weather dependant and the bucks can be patterned to a point.

Post by: huntinelk on June 13, 2014, 09:15:40 PM: Congrats on the draw

I believe washingtons points system is the best of every state you have a chance to draw on any given year. It could be worse were the people with the most points draw so the new group of hunters will never attain enough points to ever draw.

Post by: buckhorn2 on June 14, 2014, 11:54:03 AM: A lot of people are of the opinion this is not a quality hunt and it may not be what it used to be. But we have a friend who takes us that has a picture album of the bucks he has that people have taken and if you saw them you might change your opinion on that. There were bucks over 30 inches and bucks scoring up to 230 maybe taken in the later season but still there. For us who live on the wet side where a 20 inch buck is a monster a nice 26 wide 4 point is quality enough for us.

Post by: GUscottie on June 15, 2014, 11:34:16 PM: A trophy is different for every person. For me, a trophy is about the memories, the hard work, dedication and the ability to say I gave that buck the most I could within the rules we both had to play by. Congrats to the OP for all the luck on drawing and getting to hunt a unit that many of us want to hunt.
Title: Re: Desert Deer third year in a row.
Post by: huntnnw on June 15, 2014, 11:42:34 PM: :yeah: but when you can buy a OTC tag in ID or MT and shoot the same quality bucks as people pull out of there I dont see it as a quality hunt. And the hype it recieves along with all the apps I would expect way better. I am not saying there isnt big ones taken, but when you limit mule deer harvest and seasons you will always get some big ones here and there and thats in any unit!

Post by: rasbo on June 16, 2014, 04:12:17 AM: I see pics of some of these bucks on farmers land,there are some real pigs in there..Access and time and a fellow can get a monster buck there..

Post by: C-Money on June 16, 2014, 07:07:57 AM: I saw two bucks yesterday morning not far from my place, they look like they will be Desert dandies!! Its for sure a good tag to draw.

Post by: LittleHunter on June 17, 2014, 08:04:46 PM: I have been putting in for that tag for years sitting on 16 points and every year i get the same - NOT SELCTED
