Title: Scotch Creek Wildlife Area Charles and Mary Eder Unit
Post by: tracksoup on July 23, 2018, 01:32:00 PM: I drew the east okanogan rifle buck tag, whitetail nov. 1-20th. I have some knowledge of the unit but any tips for the area would be awesome! am curious of this wildlife area that I can apply for. The letter came in the mail today from WDF&G stating I can apply for one of the 5 access permits to this area for the permit season. I see they offer other permits for the general seasons as well
Has anybody ever drawn and hunted this area? Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Take a drive and check the area out around sunset. You'll see.

I also noticed, all on the northside of the road is tied up by Hj ranch, and another place, couldn't make out the name. A lot of deer though. Saw 5 bucks, nothing too big, and a ton of does and fawns.

The Eder Unit is all walk in.
Here's some advice, hunt between highway 97 and west up in the rocky cliffs you can see from the highway...... :tup:
