Title: Sinlahekin November rifle Mule Deer tag
Post by: Bud McGavran on October 30, 2016, 03:38:32 PM: I drew a Sinlahekin late Mule Deer tag that starts Nov. 1st-20th. I'm headed there to hunt Nov. 8th-20th. I'm excited that I drew that tag but I don't have any experience in the unit. I have great optics and lots of Mule Deer hunting experience. Any advice is much appreciated!

Post by: Bud McGavran on October 31, 2016, 02:57:21 PM: I drew with 13 points. Definitely looking forward to glassing Deer in the burnt areas.
I've been trying to do as much research as possible since I found out the draw results.
Was hoping to make it over this summer and drive the roads and look at the lay of the land but wasn't able due to a busy work schedule. I use Onyx maps so that should help me with the private and tougher access points around private ground. Can't wait to get over there!

I heard from a local that there was some early snow up high and the Deer started coming down early this fall. Also, I heard that quite a few Deer migrate into the unit from Canada just wondering about hunting up near the northern edge of the unit?
