My friend at Hanks market said the whitetails are actually being seen more and more in the sage.
Any info would help.

My friend did not know anything about this tag.
It's kind of interesting how bad the Mule deer hunting is there now as more
people applied for the buck tag than the quality Tag??
It will be fun just to be in the Methow in the middle of November.

I heard there is a wildlife area about half way between Winthrop and Mazama. I have never checked it out and am not even sure its free to hunt. I think its on the left side of the highway heading west. I just got curious as I was writing this and it is called the Big Valley Wildlife Area. Check this out:

This area was good about 25 yrs ago. Now it has turned into a dog walking park with joggers, bike riders, and whatever else those spandex wearing people wearing people do. Also, the fields are all a Safety Zone only the wooded area is huntable.

:yeah: Use to archery hunt in there. Could see deer in the fields walking in. Slowly every year numbers decreased until you didn’t see any more deer in the field.

:yeah: :tup: Chased one biggie there while running the place, out smarted three of us for about three seasons BUT was it a blast!! Worst thing to happen to that chunk of land with the state getting their hands on it!
Good luck, find brushie draws or thickets near fields and BOY has it dumped the snow in the last couple of days!
