I apply every year just hoping i get a shot.

Opening morning see a big 3 point that had the biggest body of any blacktail I have ever seen but we wouldn't have had time for a shot even if he wanted it. Spikes and 2 points are all he seen after that, never shot one. He said on his last day in there that the guy at the gate told him they only brought out three deer the whole time

Based on other posts he made, I'm curious to know if that guy is a Muckleshoot.

I'm curious to know if it was an actual special permit buck or not. That's the reason for my curiosity.

Post by: snowshoes22 on December 20, 2016, 12:04:43 PM: I would love this tag. We hunted unit 466 a lot when I was younger. We would sit up high and glass into 485 down the power lines and see big bucks in November. I have found some nice sheds close to the boundary.

Post by: stickman999 on December 20, 2016, 12:44:44 PM: I had the tag in 2008 and shot a big bodied 4 point who stepped out to investigate the sparring match between two little bucks we werè watching. I was told the mucks get to go in the week before the permit guys.

Title: Re: Green river deer tags?
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on December 21, 2016, 07:02:58 PM: Great buck stickman! I talked to one of the permit holders and he took a solid 3 point on or near the last day. He told me the same thing tgray mentioned about 3 bucks being taken total. I had seen the BIG ones picture on social media along with mention of special draw. That leads me to believe it is one of the bucks included in the gate keepers harvest total, but no way to know for sure.

It alternates, maybe ask the watershed guys or WDFW who went in first last time and base you application on that. Probably does not matter though with so few permits and success most likely based on weather, timing related to the rut, and type of hunter. Apply in years when there is a November hunt, be ready to walk lightly on dry leaves for an October hunt. 2017 should be a November hunt.

BTW, 6 killed of 10 permits.
