Title: Late Modern Season East or West
Post by: JJB11B on November 02, 2020, 06:31:35 AM: Brace yourselves! another I need help thread is coming!

Ok seriously, This season was all about helping get my wife her buck. Now that that is done I am still hanging onto a Modern Firearm deer tag that I would like to fill. I have looked at the maps and the seasons and am kinda at a loss. I don't know the west side at all, I haven't crossed the mountains more than a couple times a year my whole life. Is the opportunity to fill my tag on the west side good enough to make a leap of faith? I have hunted around the Kettle Falls area before, But I had a few locals with me that knew the area. anybody out there have some recommendation please send me a PM Thanks again

If it’s the opposite it’s probably worth it. Just my :twocents:

Don't come over here for late buck if you live in Walla Walla. The 4 day late season can be fantastic, but you have to know your way around. You're much better off traveling north a couple hours and hunting WT.
