Post by: C-Money on June 15, 2023, 05:57:38 AM: I've put in for this tag for well over 20 years. My 15yo son drew it this year. I'm glad I get to at least be a part of this hunt. I'm really looking forward to it! Sled, congrats on pulling a quality tag!

Post by: time2hunt on June 15, 2023, 04:57:21 PM: Curious on what a good buck is out there ? I live and hunted that unit for 40 years and between the four legged and two legged predator there’s not much left. Not saying a guy can’t shoot a 155-160 buck is not possible but it’s a long way away from a true quality hunt. We had the tag two years ago and hunted almost every day and never saw a buck over 160. Couple of those day I walk from cross over road to the river.

I too live here and I think 170 is doable. It’s definitely not as good as it was 10 years ago but its cool country.

Post by: outfishu2 on June 15, 2023, 09:50:34 PM: While processing a cow elk in a well known canyon in 2016 we had two really nice mule deer walk past us. Not wall hangers but 140 ish. It I had the tag I would start up top and hike down the canyons.

Post by: dagon on June 16, 2023, 06:29:37 AM: Been a few years since i've been in there but I was hearing how it had gone down hill back then. I found plenty of really nice bucks. ended up with a 165 point buck. The biggest one i saw would probably have gone 180 if he hadn't been broken up so bad. I'll take this tag any time.

I wasn't trying to crap on anyone's enthusiasm, but it isn't bad to have a realistic idea of how to approach the hunt IMO. I was also responding to his original post, as I hadn't read the replies yet. My bad!

I'm sure there are great bucks in there still. I first hunted there in the early 2000s. We killed a buck that scored over 180. Hunted again a few years ago. Hunted all but a couple days and never saw a mature buck. We saw dozens of young bucks with good genetics. I talked to tag holders the last two years, and they never saw a mature deer either. I'm sure the genetics are still there but the old deer are fewer and farther between.

I still put in for the tag. When and if I draw, I'll be far from any road hoping to find a mature buck that escaped the pressure.

Great buck dagon. What year was that?

looks like I have 15 points this year sooooo!!! There ya go. Thing is everyone was saying how bad things had gotten back then with hair loss (never saw one with that) and over hunting (don't think so). Anyway I'll take it next year if you guys will all promise to put in for something else. Really it sucks now. lol

Title: Re: Quilomene quality deer.
Post by: Okanagan on June 16, 2023, 07:59:12 PM: I drew that tag, I think it was 23 years ago. After I drew I came down with a severe eye disease, too blind to drive but had a lumpy contoured eyeball that gave me better vision spots here and there. If I turned my head to and fro and up and down I could usually find a spot of fairly good vision. I was so messed up I hadn’t planned to hunt but my son talked me into going. He drove and did almost everything and I would hang on to his coattail if we needed to walk much.

We had scouted a LOT, saw LOTS of bucks and never saw a really big buck, though a couple of pretty racks, one a 6x6 maybe 23 inches wide. We saw none that looked as big as Dagon's dandy buck.

I passed ten bucks before shooting one on the second weekend, and I was almost blind. There were a lot of deer. The best we saw during my handicapped season was a bit bigger than average 3x3 on opening morning. We thought that the bigger bucks were off of the top rim down in steep stuff where I simply could not manage the terrain. Another permit hunter we talked with had a nice wide buck, maybe 28 inches or a bit more, but short 2x3 (or 2x4?) tines.

Our friends were sure my son had shot a buck for me but I did the deed, at 208 yards no less. With lots of time and a leaner on a tree… I missed the first shot. The buck raised his head, stepped more into the open and turned broadside, looking around. Dropped him with the second shot. My son said, “That was real sporting of you to give him a warning shot!”

Five surgeries and nearly two years into the disease I got to drive again and got back to 20-20 with glasses. Once I was blind, but now… gives me goose bumps to recall it all. I am fortunate.

I’d be excited if I drew it.

Be happy you don't have an alkali tag next door. I haven't seen a single buck in 20 miles of hiking and hundreds driving trying to fill a cow tag. They call this the rut?

Bet it makes it tough! Do you/they intend on letting them get that low? Or do they get pushed? In 2018 dad had a muzzy bull tag, and we were down brushy working on cutting up his bull when we talked to a couple folks on horses looking for cows that had gotten pushed towards the bar. Always wondered if they found them, and was slightly jealous. Not that it’s all the glory that it seems, but I’d love to spend some time on the back of a horse in that country
Title: Re: Quilomene quality deer.
Post by: time2hunt on November 06, 2023, 02:41:55 PM: The range lease covers all that from the river to the top. The weather kind of screwed them this year they usually just split up. Everybody takes a Canyon on a horse and pushes them up over the top of the park creek. Got 18 pair out of brushy on Thursday. One good thing is a cow needs water, so just check the water holes in the springs.

So every time I make the trip on I90 passed the Quilomene, I get disgusted seeing all the wind turbines in the beautiful country. I am curious how those turbines have effected the Mule Deer and elk in the area?

I agree 100%
whoever came up with the idea for those god awful things should be strapped to one of the blades for the rest of their miserable life.

I see hundreds upon hundreds of elk on both sides of I-90 during most times of the year. And I have helped with I90 elk diversion fences along that section. I don't think the elk are bothered by the wind farm, at all. I-90 seems to be the biggest barrier to their safety as there are elk carcasses on the side of the road many times of the year.

I think the wind farm is a pretty bad eye sore, but the elk don't seem to mind them at all.
