Post by: winshooter88 on June 13, 2015, 12:03:45 AM: You better pray for snow to bring the big ones down, I had this tag two years ago, no snow equals no big migrators. If you get snow there can be some monsters up there.

Post by: 3nails on June 13, 2015, 04:48:41 AM: Sweet! I drew the whitetail buck tag for the area.

Post by: Tbob on June 13, 2015, 06:21:57 AM: My experience was the same when I hunted there.. No snow, no bucks.. Just my experience..

Post by: CAMPMEAT on June 13, 2015, 06:55:12 AM: I've seen muleys on the eastside on the mountain from the WDFW and I honestly thought they were elk. HUGE set of headgear on them..

Post by: elkrack on June 13, 2015, 08:30:37 AM: Damn! Your one lucky guy to have drawn that tag. My dad and i went partner trying to pull it. My dad had the whitetail tag last year and we saw some nice mulies! :tup:
Title: Re: Drew Sinlahekin quality buck 😁
Post by: Alan K on June 13, 2015, 08:35:41 AM: My little sister drew it too! When my dad had the WT tag a couple years back we saw decent muleys every day. For the most part 26" 4 points.

I'm not sure that we'll have the time to find a real bruiser. It will likely be 3-4 day weekends for her, since she's only able to take so much time off of school and she's taking that off for a dandy Colorado muley tag she drew this year.

Post by: Buckblaster on June 14, 2015, 08:27:43 AM: I drew that one a few years ago. If I were you, I'd wait till the last week to hunt as that's when you really start to see the rut activity kick in.

Post by: Dr. Death on June 16, 2015, 10:10:12 AM: I've been bowhunting that unit for close to 20 years. I took a buddy last year who drew the rifle tag and he got a decent 4x4 that he was very happy with. PM me if you want some help. :tup: Sean

Post by: Frankchurchbandit on June 16, 2015, 09:11:08 PM: So I told my hunting buddy "yeah that" :yeah: I wasn't going to respond to this post again, but.........

11 Points to draw the tag.
Hunted this unit for archery for the past 10+ years , know it intimately.....the reason why I put in for it.
Have pictures of bucks from the Frank, nothing to brag about....
Killed a decent Whitetail in the unit in 2010 with the "Buck" rifle tag...god bless multi season tags, or at least the ability to apply for rifle hunts when there aren't any decent archery tags to burn your points on (avatar).
Snow or no snow this is still a great tag to have and will be a fun hunt none the less. :twocents: :twocents:

Probably won't compete in regards to remoteness and adventure but with a shot of snow I'm thinking this tag rivals the Frank in regards to quality? Or at least where we hunted it.

Post by: Dana Lynam on June 21, 2015, 05:59:21 AM: I hunted the Whitetail hunt last year. I could have shot a 4pt or better Muley Daily. We saw 3 that I would say were wall hangers and several that I liked. Leave the valley floor, get high before day break. Last year we had 10 degree temps and good rut activity. The two big Muleys we saw daily above the lakes were about a 1.5 hour climb. At day break they were 1/2 up already.
