Title: GMU 251 Mission - November Quality Buck Tag
Post by: zasdx on August 16, 2023, 12:51:48 PM: Hey all,

I lucked out and drew the November quality buck tag for the Mission unit. I am a Wenatchee local with access to some private land, looking for recommendations on how/where to hunt the rut in this area. I am physically fit and have no issue putting in the miles, just need help getting pointed in the right direction.

I would appreciate any input you have, happy to PM if that works better.

Thank you in advance for anyone’s input!

Post by: Ridgerunner on August 20, 2023, 03:41:15 PM: I look foward to the report, that can be a great tag, I had it in 03 and it was a pretty amazing hunt for sure. Been hoping to draw it again ever since then.

Post by: phildobaggins on August 20, 2023, 07:51:02 PM: Sick tag, lots of areas you could go that could produce. I’m moving otherwise I’d lend a hand. How long have you been in Wenatchee? I feel like even non-hunters know migrations for the Mission unit around here. It’s no secret, you’ll have fun. Happy to answer Q’s or set you off on a good foot in you want to PM.

Post by: highside74 on November 17, 2023, 09:51:14 PM: He was last active on Huntwa 11/15 and posted nothing. Let's hope he didn't just show up to get info and bail. Makes harder for all the FNG's down the line.

Post by: Rainier10 on November 20, 2023, 05:43:37 PM: I think sometimes it is just salt in the wound to come back on here and say you ate the tag. It happens and there is no shame in that. Not saying he did or did not fill the tag but if he didn’t that might be the reason he hasn’t posted an update.
Title: Re: GMU 251 Mission - November Quality Buck Tag
Post by: Ridgerunner on November 20, 2023, 06:44:50 PM: Yeah I’m not optimistic for grip and grin pics of a big buck! I think it was a tough year for late tag holders. A report would be nice so folks can at least hear how the hunt went.

Post by: jrebel on November 20, 2023, 06:50:32 PM: When the guy ask for help on his second post ever to this site……what do you all expect? He never intended to post a pic. Some bucks were taken, don’t know if he was one of the lucky hunters.

Post by: JBar on November 20, 2023, 07:52:15 PM: I’ve been a member since 2008 and not a lot of post but still 2000 of them and asked for help on a moose tag and received squat!! So post count doesn’t mean s**t! Those that are doubting he’ll be back to post results are not helping! I won’t post the results of the moose hunt that’s for sure! Those that know me and were helpful got continuous updates!!
