Heck, there's a guy on here that it doesn't even take 3 days to bag a trophy with his bow with the dates you mentioned.
So are you saying I only need to be there one day? http://hunting-washington.com/smf/Smileys/default/chuckle.gif

High winter kill this year coupled with a good harvest in 2015, you may have your work cut out for you! Scout, scout, scout!

There is alot of pressure on the roads like most areas but if you get into the woods off roads and trails you can get into some great spots. If you want an outfitter I can recommend one who will do a drop camp in a couple of REALLY good areas on horseback. Did it a few years ago and can't wait to do it again.

Going into new country and bagging a mature deer is a tall order anywhere in this state. if you have a lot of money, I've heard that you can pay landowners a large sum of money to shoot a large trophy that has been tamed.
I'm guessing to bag a mature mule deer you're going to have to spend quite a bit of time scouting and getting into the back country or get really lucky.

Three days isn't gonna do it for you unless you know where your mature deer is currently living. I would go there every weekend up until the season to scout. I know that whole area quite well. If you want the mature monster, you need to get up high or know private land owners who will let you hunt their land. And Jpmiller is correct about a guide. If you have the money have Aaron Lee drop you off in the Pasayten Wilderness.
Aaron with early winters outfitters is who I was talking about as well. An absolute first rate service.

Hello! I am an archery hunter and have thought about going to methow valley to shoot a mature mule buck. So far I am planned to be there on the first 3 days of September, but am really unsure what I am working with. Is it easy to tag out there? I heard there is a fair amount of deer, just unsure what a hunters perspective on that valley is like. any tips or tricks anyone is willing to share? Anything helps. Thanks.:o Are you guys taking this seriously? I was sure it was a joke :dunno:

Why do you say that?
We shopped an outfitter in january for a september high hunt and by we it was my local hunting buddy and his dad and buddy from tahatchapee california. Aaron was impossible to get ahold of once we made the deposit and then he took us to "sucker camp" 4 miles into the paysayten to a very well traveled camp ground. 11 other people did a day hike to get there. I would highly not recommend him. Alot of money for a camping trip

Apparently if you pay them enough, the new service they offer, they will even come on all the hunting forums and threaten everyone with lawsuits that discusses your "doushbagery".
It is a popular new service!
