Hey everyone, I have been deer hunting Okanogan 204 for going on 8 years now and am curious who else on hear regularly hunt rifle deer in Okanogan. Also curious who has managed to Draw the late buck and quality tag for that unit. Would like to hear your success and also who hunts there! Looking forward to a good season!

Friend of ours drew the Quality tag a few years back and ended up with tag soup. He had what he wanted in mind and just never saw the he wanted.

I've hunted in the 204 unit many times with most success coming from the late tag draws. It's a great are with some amazing territory that I truly love to hunt.
I drew the late season buck tag last season and was successful on a nice big 8 point whitetail. It was a fun hunt and I got to have my dad sitting next to me on that hunt which made it a little more special. As we get older we get less time to spend hunting and fishing together so it was great.

Here's a whitetail I got on late whitetail hunt a few seasons back! Fun hunt, I hope to draw it again!

Sheds from this year in there

The whitetail seem to taking over more and more area over there. Great seeing a bunch of nice whitetails but I sure would like to see the mule deer hold their ground better in some areas over there. Seems like when the whitetails move in, they dominate the area

-The biggest mule deer Ive ever seen in my life was in 204, god he was huge non typical, he almost ran me over chasing a doe! I got him on film too! Theres some Big Big Mule deer in 204 for sure!

I agree. This time of year I mostly have been seeing mulies. At least where we hunt. But come hunting season mostly all white tails with a few mulies here and there. Even went up higher looking for mulies last season and ran into the whitetails. Couldn't get away

My 13 year old boy just drew the 204 late rifle season Whitetail tag. He does not need a trophy but would like an opportunity at something larger than his first two bucks ( spikes). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! We are flexible on time just need to get back by the 20th.

Go the last week and grunt , three times and wait 45 minutes then try again. If that doesn't work try a new spot , find the doe's and there will be a Buck around stay put get in position early. have great time.
-
Also drew the late whitetail tag. Can't wait until November !

That's absolutely awesome guys. Right on to the kid. Is the youth tag? Irish52084 has it right. Really can't go wrong with a time pros and cons to any day of the season. One buck may be shot off a does first day. But 2 days later a new player will be right back on the same does getting sloppy seconds lol :chuckle: good luck. I want to see your results uncle buck and ironhead45
