First time hunting the general season, normally just hunt late.

There is plenty of good hunting on public land around Tonasket. This year I drew a quality buck tag for the desert unit so that is where I will be. .

Post by: CamoRambo on September 28, 2016, 07:53:10 AM: I'm packing up the Jeep tonight and tomorrow then heading up around 101 and 105 as soon as I get off work Friday. Ill be out for deer but hoping I run across a black bear. I took Monday and Tuesday off work so I'm hoping in four days I will get into some decent hunting or at least some good scouting for the late season. I have never hunted that area, mainly the wet side and south east part of the state so its going to be a learning experience. Hoping for a nice muley but I haven't taken a whitetail yet so if the opportunity presents itself ill pull the trigger.

Post by: elkboy on September 30, 2016, 02:35:54 PM: Hunting whitetail here in Whitman County. The does got hit hard by bluetongue virus in the last two years, so I am going to pass on them. The deer must have antlers to get a ride home with me this year!
