We put in as a group for 2nd deer for Roosevelt and Blue Mountains West buck tags. Naturally we drew both, but none of us drew any other tags individually. The 4 of us have between 12 and 18 points for all of the quality and OIL categories. I guess we cant complain though since we drew something. One of these years, one of us will finally get a quality or OIL tag.

Nooksack Quality Elk! Me,my daughter, and my brother drew as a group for archery!
Thats a group hunt I am anxious to see the outcome of. Awesomeness and good luck
I had to save some funds this year and cut back on the amount I put in for. Just the elk categories, confilct goat, and doe tag. But did draw my second choice for antlerless elk. Yale early season muzzy. Late season in Yale was my first choice.

Thanks! Feeling very anxious about it as well !!:chuckle: My 17 year old daughter is very excited! ! She came close to getting her first bull last year but ended up hitting a fox glove that sent the arrow off just enough to miss :( I got a good feeling that she is going to get it done this year!

I drew Entiat archery with 7 pts. Initially super excited but now...a bit nervous honestly.
In my years of looking at bucks and reading stories of the hunts in the Entiat I seemed to gloss over the parts about bad roads and chains. Been saving for that 4-wheel drive. Looks like that better happen sooner than later.
I'd love to bend anyone's ear about places to camp, local hotel dives, or past experiences on this hunt.

Good to know. I had the Toutle Bull tag back in 05. Saw a bunch of nice Rosie's up around castle lake. Should be some fun hiking. Hopefully I can pull a decent representation of a Mt St Helens elk. Fat 5X 240 to 250 class. I think that is a respectable elk from what I have seen in the area.
-
I drew nothing but heard of a guy who drew Dayton rifle elk with one point
-
Nothing for me this year... I went in with 6 points for Elk and 5 for Deer. Dad went in with 6 for Elk and 5 for Deer and he was drawn for a Anterless Tag for Winston.
Should be meat in the freezer if we can find one that's NOT limping!!

Best place to camp during that season is along Mud Creek Road. Cooper's Store in Ardenvoir has traditionally been the spot for trading information.
You can have a hunt w/o 4wd but will have to hump some terrain and will be limited - 4wd and chains are really nice. If you can't buy one by then, consider using some of that savings and renting one.
Good options for cheap hotel lodging are in Chelan and Wenatchee.
If there is snow cover you'll see more deer, if there is not, good binoculars and a spotting scope are really key. The light is likely to be really flat and grey, easy to overlook game if no snowcover. You may get frustrated by persistent elevation bands of fog.
There is still some rutting going on but it is primarily post-breeding behavior. Find bucks that are feeding rather than chasing does, and watch them until they bed. Or glass up bedded bucks. Plan a sneak. have fun!

Thanks for taking the time Doublelung to provide such a worthwhile response. I love that about this website. Hopefully after I'm done with my Entiat hunt I can share what I've learned and pass it on to one of next year's tag winners.
I think the four-wheel drive is gonna be in the cards for this year's hunt. I'll invest in some quality chains all around to be ready.
Thanks again for the direction and insight. Better hone my spot and stalk skills during the early season! Looking forward to laying it all out there for a hard earned archery buck.

As a Wenatchee resident for 20+ years, I've hunted the Entiat area a bit, for bear and deer. Have also hiked, x-c skied, and used my mountain bike in there. Backpacked too. There are some elk, but... I haven't ever seen many, or much sign.
Good luck!

Awesome. I would guess he knows that area blind folded. Do you know him? I used to ride horses out of salmon la sac a hundred years ago but I sure wasn't focused on elk at the time and a lot has changed over the years. I've tried looking up old posts, from years past, on this site about that unit and there's hardly any chatter. We've got a lot of homework to do. Any advise would be golden.
