Title: Sherman GMU no longer included in Late Rifle Season
Post by: bobcat on February 20, 2009, 06:10:19 PM: Apparently all the emails made a difference on this issue.

Quote
Under Modern Firearm, Late General Season, Eastern Washington White-tailed Deer,
delete GMU 101 from the late modern season. With the change, the line should read 105-124,
any white-tailed buck. This change is in response to public input from archery hunters and
returns the late general modern firearm season in GMUs 105-124 back to status quo.

Post by: Ridgerunner on February 20, 2009, 08:01:16 PM: They did add a special permit hunt though. That could be a dandy.

Post by: yelp on February 20, 2009, 09:17:23 PM: I like the 50 permits for Sherman that they added...also it looks like they lengthened the East Okanogan, West Okanogan and Sinlahekin Whitetail From Nov 1-24... :) A whole extra week into the rut...yehaw..

It looks like a Bait and Switch to me? I don't think they added 75 antlerless archery permits to Swakane? Last year it was 3 point minimum or antlerless? They say they will close the late archery hunt and the Archery hunters flip out so they replace the hunt with some doe hunts!!!.............................LOL

You couldn't shoot a small buck in the Swakane? Three point minimum?

Post by: WABONEHNTR on February 23, 2009, 08:16:46 PM: If we are talking the entiat and swakane a 3pt is not nor should it be a big buck. These to units are our trophy quality units and they are not producing like they should. Closing them down would have been great but not possible with the amount of hunters in our state. I would just like to see monster bucks in there again.

Post by: danshae on February 23, 2009, 10:03:13 PM: as long as thousands of archers from all throughout the state fill this unit it will continue to diminish.I guarantee their are more deer wounded by archers than killed in this unit!since they opened it for either sex it got even worse for the mortality rate,wounded animals,and population of people.we have entirely to many people in this state to have a unit this small open that time of the year to either sex with an unregulated amount of people!shouldnt worry to much anyhow you have 101 to hunt.as archers you seen to that.
