Post by: bustedoldman on July 16, 2020, 07:17:59 AM: 18 total permits I think 6 MF, 6 ML, 6 Arch........Only 2 entry points to the property, they gave out tickets last year when accessing from anywhere but those. Wife had it last year passed on alot of bucks and decided not to shoot any there. Daughter had it the year before and shot her first buck.

That's a sign... do not apply! I would like to be the only one entering the draw. I know nothing about it, other than I apply for it every year. Never been drawn and I don't remember anyone getting drawn and posting anything about the hunt or area. That being said, good luck with the draw. :tup:

No you don't....Just sign up for them at the link posted. In 2 yrs of hunting it I've seen 6 mule deer in there.

Post by: SkookumHntr on July 16, 2020, 10:28:14 AM: This is the buck I got in there, seen another that was bigger and the biggest Muley I ever seen in my life! Pretty incredible in there in mid November!

Post by: Slamadoo on July 16, 2020, 11:53:24 AM: According to the link and application, you can only apply to hunt one of the general seasons. How do you apply to hunt the special permit season (November 1-20)?

Post by: SkookumHntr on July 16, 2020, 12:26:57 PM: you have to draw east Okanogan first, then you will get a letter in the mail and a form to submit and apply.
